Some people think that you can only eat well in the Golden Triangle, but that is certainly not true. You can also eat great at O Grego , on the edge of the Golden Triangle! It is set in a charming historic building, on the main road in Almancil .
We are kindly received by Philippos Valentinos , the charming owner of the place. The restaurant is small and cozy and is heated by a lovely wood fire. The atmosphere is homely, and you immediately feel at home.
O Grego works with a tasting menu, for 29.50. In addition to the standard meze, you can choose the vegan and/or gluten-free option. We order 2x the standard menu, 1x vegan and 2x vegan and gluten-free.
After the wine has been poured, a bread basket is placed on the table containing deliciously crispy bread. And then came the other snacks / dishes from the Greek kitchen. How delicious they were. One was not yet finished when the next dish was brought. The menu consisted of:
Tzatziki, Hummus ( v,gf ), Falafel, Beetroot orange salad ( v,gf ), fry vegetable ( v,gf ), Taramosalata , Smoked mackerel , Greek salad ( v,gf ), Spinach pie (v), Cheese pie with honey and sesame , stifado with soya (v), Stifado with mushrooms ( v,gf ), Kebab with black pork . And chocolate mousse ( v,gf ). And ouzo 😊
The dishes are well thought out, the execution skilful and the flavors convincing: full, rich and pronounced, just as they should be. Philippos regularly comes to ask if everything tastes good. And his father, 88 years old and a former pilot, also regularly makes the rounds. We are impressed and happy by all the goodies. It is a wonderful place where we would like to come back often.
