7 Greek Restaurants With Relaxing Vibes To Go For Your Next Date Night

Greek restaurants that offer delicious dishes

As someone who has not had the opportunity to travel to Greece, the closest I can get to experience its rich culture is to have a taste of it – literally. Thankfully, our little sunny island is home to many Greek restaurants that allow us to get a feel of the country and, for those who have been there, a chance to reminisce about Greece.

1. Bakalaki Greek Taverna

Bakalaki Greek Taverna serves up huge portions of Greek food. Kalamaki Merida is a great sharing dish which comes with your choice of skewered grilled meat. Two of our favourites are Chicken ($23.90++) and Beef ($25.90++). The dish also comes with warm pita bread, tzatziki, tomato, onions and fried or baked potatoes. For oven-baked or sto fourno dishes, Moussaka ($25.90++) reminds me of lasagna. Baked upon order, this dish is served piping hot and comprises minced beef, eggplant, potato, creamy bechamel sauce and a surface of bubbling cheese.

Situated at Dempsey Hill, Blu Kouzina is an Instagrammable space that combines designs from Singapore’s history and Greek mythology. Their Hummus ($15.80++), which is a simple blend of tahini, chickpeas and the restaurant’s house-pressed extra virgin olive oil, makes for a great appetiser. A popular vegetarian sharing plate is Feta Saganaki ($19.80++), a block of feta cheese pan-fried till golden brown, topped with honey and sesame seeds. For a satisfying yet heart-healthy dish, Sardines Shara ($29.80++) comprises grilled sardines served with lemon and olive oil.

A new kid on the block, Fotia started business earlier this year. Dishing up a variety of authentic Greek and Mediterranean recipes, most of Fotia’s dishes are made from scratch, including their Greek yogurt. Trilogia ($29.80++) offers diners with the best of three worlds – a selection of three dips of your choice and crispy pita bread. Baklava ($16.80++) is another dish you cannot leave without trying. Rather than being shaped into the regular square pastry, Fotia rolls the spiced pistachio mixture into a shape that resembles Chinese ‘love letters’, before topping the dish with vanilla ice-cream and a pistachio biscuit.
