Dublin's best Greek spots

Greece is mainly known for its mythology and beautiful islands, but its food is another standout feature of the culture that attracts tourists to visit the country. If you want to know what Greek cuisine is like, you won’t have to look far; it might not be the most expected dining option but Dublin boasts quite a few restaurants that serve a great take on Greek food. Below you’ll find the top 5 places to visit…

Customers return to Corfu not just because of traditional and authentic food but also because of the friendly staff that will make you feel welcome and help you choose from many delicious dishes you might not be familiar with. To give you a better idea of what to expect, one of the menu highlights is Pastichio, a popular Greek oven-baked dish with layers of pasta, sauteed minced beef and topped with bechamel sauce.

For those who like to explore a bit more, we recommend ordering starters to share such as deep-fried feta cheese in breadcrumbs, mushrooms stuffed with garlic butter in crispy coating and calamari with Corfu sauce. The number of tables is limited so consider booking in advance on busy days.

Gyros is one of the most popular dishes in Greece and it’s what Yeeros restaurant specialises in. A selection of vegan, vegetarian and meat pita wraps means that everyone will find something for themselves. Line your stomach with chicken gyros with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion and chips or treat yourself to a mega mix platter that includes a selection of all grilled meats with pita bread, chips and salad. 

Greek Gyros is a restaurant commonly recommended by Greek nationals due to the high quality of dishes that remind them of home; if you want to have authentic food, it will be your best bet. If you stop by, you should try pita bread with Tzatziki chicken and pork gyros. Another must-try is also the classic Greek salad which will satisfy your taste buds but keep your stomach empty enough to enjoy generously sized mains. You’ll also appreciate friendly service and walls covered with pictures of the country: the owners do their best to make you feel as if you just got transported to a sunny Greece
