Ampéli

A sure sign that a good meal lies ahead is a thoughtfully executed bread basket. At Ampéli, a generous portion of warmed flatbread, olive oil-grilled sourdough and lavash serves as a very warm welcome, particularly when accompanied by a bowl of whipped feta for dipping. The rest of the menu is equally good as it traverses the best of the eastern Mediterranean.
This is also the place to get to know Greek wine. The list is devised by Yiannis Karakasis MW who has visited 98% off Greece’s vineyards and believes wine should be affordable and accessible. The list includes new age retsinas and plenty of helpful comparisons to international wine styles to help guide you. Better still, the choice by the carafe is extensive so there’s no excuse not to explore.
