STEEM Food Tours #84: Papadakis restaurant - the best restaurant in Athens!
Am I biased? Yes! But I mean, who wouldn’t be? State of the art fish dishes, meat dishes, legumes’ dishes, salads, amazing desserts…who can pick?
And all of the above are based on premium quality ingredients. Fresh fish (straight from the fishing boat), manually picked meats, rare lentils that are only grew in a specific land, growing only for very few days and limited crops..
So, let’s start from the fish dishes - numerous ways to cook them:
Spicy shrimps with feta cheese: drooling!
Octopus two ways, grilled with truffle puree and stew with potato chips:
Orzo with lobster:
Crab salad:
Meat dishes:
My favourite: chickpeas with fish roes dip
Liquors that come as a treat at the end:
Amazing desserts:
The owner of this place is Argiro Barbarigou, one of the most well respected chefs in Greece. I think she is number one! Link: http://www.papadakisrestaurant.com/
Enjoy!
I also think it is number one. Superb presentation for a superb restaurant!
@bluemoon thank you very much dear!!!
With pleasure!
I have to thank you more.
It is very hard to find both freshness and variety in the same place. Sounds like a winner!
😍😁😊🍭🤩🎁🎈... we are all so gourmands!!!!
It's the memories. I can remember catching landlocked salmon in Yukon lakes and having them in the frypan 10 seconds after they were off the hook! And picking and eating wild strawberries on the move as I climbed up through mountain meadows in the Himalayas. Gourmand food from a great chef triggers thoughts like that :-)
So true... still remember the fresh shrimps fished in greek west and trachana soup by my grandmother with original feta, when I was 5 yrs old..if you havent tasted real tomato, how to tell its fresh...?
Looks awesome @tikotiko! Now I know exactly where to eat if I ever find myself in Athens... which I hope will happen someday... thanks for entering the @steemfoodtours contest! Cheers , I just ate lunch but after reviewing this post I am definitely hungry again.
