Stagedoor Steakhouse

Wimbledon 

This well-established family run restaurant has been thriving since 1984 and it’s easy to see why. Born in Cyprus, its founder Andreas has fostered a warm and friendly vibe alongside a well-curated menu of truly delicious Greek dishes. You can choose from their specialty steaks to their Cypriot and Greek mains of deliciously cooked souvlaki, moussaka or ‘kleftiko’ – a traditional lamb dish on the bone with mixed herbs and spices alongside sautéed potatoes. Pop in for a pre-show meal – it’s just down the street from New Wimbledon Theatre!

Sonya

This all-day Aegean bistro offers relaxed dining in a cultural hotspot. The menu gains inspiration from fishermen, farmers and family tavernas across the Aegean, from Bodrum to Naxos and Izmir to Santorini. Enjoy an extensive brunch menu of Greek-inspired brunch food (be sure to try the Sagnaki toastie!) or an equally varied dinner menu filled with culinary delights. A highlight of the dinner menu is the octopus with harissa feta, ezme, shug, rocket and pomegranate. The interiors are gorgeously inspired by Aegean coast décor, full of woven tapestries and bright colours. You can also dine outdoors in their secret garden, a wondrous tucked-away haven.

Chelsea

This restaurant offers up a sleek and modern ambiance – definitely one to visit if you’re looking for something a little more elegant and refined. The interiors are made up of Walnut wood, sandy beige hues and wavy walls, conjuring the ambiance of the Greek and Mediterranean coast with an elevated and airy twist. The cuisine is a similar mixture of Greek and Mediterranean, with highlights of the menu including starters of Saganaki pastry and tuna tataki, as well as mains of Greek-style chicken platters with crispy potatoes and fresh garden salad.

Nisou

Reigate

This cosy independent restaurant serves up homemade Cypriot food in a warm and welcoming environment. It’s a relaxed and friendly eatery with roots stretching back to Cyprus: its name is inspired by the owner Anthony’s grandmother’s Cyprus village, where she was born and still lives today. For dinner you can enjoy a selection of great Cypriot dishes, from souvlaki with chicken, pork or halloumi to various meze boards serving up great tasters and dips. There’s also a fabulous oven-baked moussaka inspired by Anthony’s grandmother’s very own recipe.

Meghan’s Old Town

Clapham

Meghan’s is always a go-to for reliable and scrumptious Mediterranean dining, and the Greek dishes at their Clapham Old Town location are certainly must-tries. Be sure to taste the crispy sea bass with Greek orzo salad, feta, lemon and rocket. If you’re going for brunch and fancy something a bit sweeter, try their fig and honey yoghurt bowl made with Greek yoghurt, dates, bananas and candied walnuts – it’s a breakfast fit for the gods.

To Kefi

Kingston

One of Kingston’s best-kept secrets, this friendly family-run restaurant is always a delight to visit. The staff are truly lovely and there is a community vibe about the eatery that is hard to replicate. Their souvlaki pitas are truly out-of-this-world good, alongside some other brilliantly authentic dishes, like a delicious traditional beef stew and a richly flavoursome and tender chicken with orzo.

Greek Unique

Twickenham

With a modern yet rustic façade, Greek Unique lives up to its name, serving up individual twists on traditional Greek classics in memorable interiors. Enjoy a truly heavenly melitzanosalata – aubergine dip with garlic, parsley, red onions, lemon juice and olive oil – as well as an irresistible dish of tikroketes – fried cheese balls. You can also choose from a selection of skewers and a great variety of pitta wraps.

Meli Art Café

Battersea

If you’re looking for more of a café vibe than a restaurant, but still craving the taste of Greece, look no further than Meli Art Café. This brand new store in Battersea Rise is a cute place to stop in for a coffee, pastry and a Greek brunch. They serve up fresh traditional Greek food with high quality products from Greek producers – be sure to try the baklava!

The Gyro Club

Richmond

This haven of Greek artisanal cuisine is a must-visit for Richmond residents. Located on Ham Street, it’s a feast of great value, packed souvlaki pittas and souvlaki boxes.
