Housed in a late 19th-century building, Aleria is an excellent choice to get in touch with the modern Greek cuisine. Under the creative eye of Gikas Xenakis, a talented and very promising young chef, the restaurant serves a small but impressive menu. Gikas’ great enthusiasm for Greek ingredients has enabled him to perfectly balance between traditional methods and modern techniques. The delicious greens pie with feta cheese and wild greens on a crispy strip of filo pastry topped with herbs is only one example of how he brings traditional dishes and food memories to the modern age.
