To Athinaikon, Athens 09-2010

We went out to look for somewhere with octopus and ended up in an ouzerie. I remember trying ouzo during year 11 cadet camp from one of the Greek guys there and thinking why does anyone drink this stuff? Years later and with a higher tolerance for aniseed, I still wonder the same, although I can tolerate it similar to sambuca.

The highlight of the meal was the grilled calamari stuffed with cheese and herbs. Lovely and oozy (or "ouzy").

- Green salad "Athinaikon" with manouri cheese (rocket, cherry tomatoes, French salad, sundried tomato, red pepper, walnuts) €7.5;
- Fresh stuffed squid on the grill (yellow salted cheese, feta, tomato, pepper, capers) €15;
