A
Parthenon
This veteran has anchored Greektown for three decades, hearing countless yells of ‘Opa’ to accompany the flaming saganaki (sharp, hard cheese cut into wedges or squares and fried). Greeks returning to the city from their suburban retreats have made the Parthenon a favorite. Vegetarians and gluten-free eaters will find lots of options, all marked on the extensive menu. A plus for drivers: there’s free valet service.

New Parthenon
Flaming saganaki cheese and the cry of 'Opa!' are a Detroit tradition at this bustling Greektown restaurant that commands a loyal following. The grape leaves reign supreme.

Kefi
Acclaimed chef Michael Psilakis opened Kefi a few years ago and almost immediately had to move to a new expanded location, such was the demand for his rustic, Greek cuisine based on childhood favorites like spicy lamb sausage, grilled branzino fish, sheep-milk dumplings, grilled octopus and meatballs in tomato sauce. The white-walled room, with stone floors and stucco, is dominated by a massive, blue wave mosaic, while rooms above and below handle the overflow. Kids are welcome.

Athenian Corner
Across the street from the Market Mills Visitors Center, this restaurant is a hallmark of Lowell’s immigrant Greek community. The Panagiotopoulis family offers real-deal Greek specialties, such as faki (lentil soup), souvlaki and moussaka; finish it off with sticky sweet baklava or creamy rice pudding. Authentic Athens right in Lowell’s center.

Papa Cristo's
You'll kick up your heels like Zorba himself after filling your tummy with Greek soul food at this frenzied bistro in the shadow of St Sophia Cathedral. The gyros are the real deal and the rack of lamb is a steal at around $10. Gather your posse and come for the Big Fat Greek Thursday Night Dinner at 18:30, when tables bend with nibbles and belly dancers perform.

Santorini
Fish, both shelled and finned, honor the legacies of Greek fishermen at this popular spot, where fresh whole fish can be prepared and served tableside. The boisterous room manages to seem cozy, thanks in part to the large Aegean fireplace. Everything from the bread to the baklava is well made, arriving in portions huge enough to encourage convivial sharing.

Zorba’s Café
Generous portions of moussaka and souvlaki, as well as pitchers of Rolling Rock, make this Greek diner one of DC’s best bargain haunts. Contrary to the menu’s promise, you will probably not confuse yourself for being in the Greek Isles (despite the bouzouki music). But the fresh food and quick service make this family-run place a good option.

Papadakis Taverna
The gods have been smiling upon this award-winning Greek restaurant for decades, possibly because Tom and John are usually around to welcome old hands and newcomers with Hellenic charm. Or possibly because the food's just that good. Crisp salads, succulent lamb and creative pastas (try pasta Vassiliko with Greek sausage) all fill the tummy nicely. Opa!

Mr Greek Gyros
Although there’s no sign of Mrs, Ms or Mr Greek, ‘the Mr’ is a classic gyros joint with good prices. While the fluorescent lighting and plastic decor may lack a little charm, the gyros have a beauty of their own. Carnivores: this is definitely your place in the ’hood for late-night eats, as the UIC students, club goers and occasional bum will attest.

Petros Greek Cuisine & Lounge
Petros – the place that launched a thousand positive reviews – may be new on the scene, but top-notch service, superb Greek specialties and a friendly, upscale vibe have made this charmer worthy of critics’ kudos. Locals like it too. Grab a seat on the people-watching patio or lose your baseball cap for a dress code–worthy experience indoors.

Cassandra's Greek Taverna
If you must give in to Ali'i Dr's touristy, open-air, upper-floor restaurants, Cassandra's is the place to do it. The Greek fare is tasty, if a bit overpriced, and a couple of appetizers with a cold beer and a clear view of canoe paddlers in the bay is a great finish to an afternoon. The bar has pool tables and gets rowdy in the later hours.

Kokkari
This is one Greek restaurant where you’ll want to lick your plate instead of break it, with starters like grilled octopus with a zing of lemon and oregano, and a signature lamb, eggplant and yogurt moussaka as rich as the Pacific Stock Exchange. Reserve ahead to avoid waits, or make a meal of hearty Mediterranean apps at the bar.

Mourayo
Art Deco meets seafaring at this Greek restaurant known for its low-key yet intimate dining experience. The seafood dishes are delicately prepared and full of robust flavors. There is a lengthy list of ouzo and reasonably priced Greek wines. Be sure to save room for the desserts, which are as simple and appealing as the ambiance.

Artopolis Bakery & Cafe
Like a good Greek salad, this place has many ingredients. One of the city’s top bakeries – many of the nearby Randolph St joints get their bread here – which sells oozing baklava; a cafe-bar that opens onto the street, with tables along the front; and a food bar with classics like spinach pie, which you can eat in or get to go.

Taverna Tony
This lively Greek spot fronted by a flowery terrace packs them in day after day with finger-lickin' fare that feeds both the soul and belly. For a serious indulgence, loosen your belt and order the Greek Feast ($33 per person; two-person minimum) with 15 different dishes. Reservations advised.

Taverna Opa
- Miami, USA
- Restaurants › Greek
Cross Coyote Ugly Saloon with a big fat Greek wedding and you get this tourist-oriented restaurant and ouzo fest, where the meze (appetizers) are decent and the vibe resembles something like a Hellenic frat party. By the end of the night, table dancing is pretty much mandatory.

Yanni's Mediterranean Bar & Grill
A pleasant and bright place, Yanni's prepares perfect Atlantic salmon, parmesan-encrusted yellow fin sole and Albuquerque's best calamari. Start with a light lemon chicken or red lentil soup, but save room for a baklava sundae. It also has more traditional Greek platters.

George's Greek Café
George's is the heart of the Pine Ave restaurant row, both geographically and spiritually. George himself may greet you at the entrance on the generous patio, and locals cry 'Opa!' for the saganaki (flaming cheese) and lamb chops.

Mad Greek
Near the world's largest thermometer in Baker, these gyros, Greek salads, strawberry shakes and desserts galore are easily the best food along I-15 for over 100 miles. It's worth stopping in even if you're just barreling through from LA to Vegas.

Kyma
This restaurant luxuriates in the sensuous simplicity of Greek food. Start with the trio of traditional spreads, then choose between fish: will it be the dorado, the pompano or the barramundi? This is a high-end place, so dress accordingly.

A fine waterfront tavern with a heavy dose of Greek flavor. Specialties include grilled lamb chops, spanakopita and lemon-marinated chicken. Make reservations on weekends, when belly dancers prance and jingle.

Olympia Cafe
It's a long way from the Acropolis but this isn't just the best Greek food in Albuquerque - it may be the best Greek food anywhere (yes, including Greece).
