Greek cuisine

Moussaka and souvlaki

Greek cuisine is the traditional cooking of Greece, characterized by olive oil, fresh vegetables, herbs, grains, fish, and lamb.

Staples include feta cheese, olives, yogurt, and phyllo pastry.

We found a Greek restaurant downtown.

The style emphasizes simple preparations that highlight ingredient quality—grilled meats, stuffed vegetables, salads dressed with lemon and oregano.
