Gardens of Salonica Traditional and modern Greek cuisine

Don't want to commit your week long anticipated Gardens' entree for a All-Natural Lamb Gyro? Then try the Lamb Gyro appetizer....succulent shavings of spice rubbed, vertically skewered lamb served with quarters of fire grilled pita and Tzatziki.

Our fifth Saganaki option: tender artichoke hearts blended with the classic Greek cheeses, Kaseri and Kefalograviera. Warm, tangy, almost stringing--a burst of flavor served with our Pita Crisps that stand up to scoop out every morsel. Paired most favorably with Ritinitis as well as the light bodied, fruit forward Skouros Erythros red.

Simple and simply delicious--the tradition of putting bits of food--shellfish, veggies, snails, fish, cheese, into a small iron fry pan with wine or ouzo and lots of olive oil and broiled for a quick and tasty meze--appetizer--scooped out of the sizzling pan with chunks of bread or pita. This one was part of the Children's Theatre Chef-In-My-Home Benefit menu that Anna demoed for 8 lucky winners because the Christoforides' children order it more than anything else and squabble over the last bite!

Running short? We got legs for you! Grilling the octopus brings out another range of its flavors.
