Little Greek Taverna

Last week we were lucky enough to be able to go and see the awesome musical Wicked at QPAC. If anyone is able to go and grab the last remaining tickets to it, DO IT!!! It was hilarious, colourful and all-round brilliantly entertaining. 

Anyway, enough about that and onto our dinner! We wanted to eat somewhere fast, and so went down into West End to eat at the Little Greek Taverna. We have eaten lunch there before and I had some pretty awesome lamb shanks on that occasion. Luckily they were able to squeeze us in... We got there at 6pm and they asked if we could leave by 7pm, fine by us. All of the tables in the place had reserved signs on them, so if you want to eat there, its definitely best to book rather than wing it like we did. 

Little Greek Taverna has a daily specials board which I think most people order from. Not everything on their menu is available every day. This time, everything from the pork section was available, but alas, not my lovely lamb shanks. There was however a Lamb Yiros (lamb served off the spit) and greek salad available ($13.50) which I ordered, leaving L to order the Chargrilled octopus with salad for $15.00.

To start we also ordered a serving of warmed pita bread ($3.00) with roasted eggplant dip ($4.00).

Sydney - Diethnes

Saturday night in Sydney and we had no idea where to go but wanted to experience some good food. We also wanted somewhere cheap and near our hotel. Our lovely friends who are Sydneysiders booked Diethnes and so the four of us walked the few blocks there as hungry as hippos. 

Diethnes is a traditional greek restaurant. It is situated in this blink and miss it basement type of room in the Sydney CBD. The decor is hilariously bad, featuring plastic plants, false windows and leather booths, and the waiters are all lovely old greek men. 

Our friend S had especially booked a booth for us, so we sat down and admired our surrounds. We were immediately presented with a basket of complementary bread and butter. The bread was crusty and fresh and looked delicious however we only had a slice each as we were planning on eating up big.
