*GUSTO GRECO!*

As the weather warms up and the sunny season begins, let’s celebrate our “G” dinner with some Greek gusto! Greek cuisine is the perfect example of a traditional Mediterranean diet - a base of olive oil with fresh vegetables, seafood, meat and grains, combined with local herbs like oregano, mint, rosemary, garlic, bay, basil and thyme. It also incorporates plenty of cheese, yoghurt, honey and nuts, and all washed down with a healthy dose of wine of course!
Our informal feast will comprise a selection of “meze” (appetizers) followed by a main course buffet of typical Greek dishes, and a selection of desserts, all freshly prepared by Cordon Bleu chef Slavko Mitric of the fabulous Roux Bar - http://www.rouxbar.es/.
As always we will enjoy a welcome cocktail, free bar access of wines, beers etc., and best of all mingling with fun international people in a private party atmosphere. We can’t promise any plate smashing, but otherwise will do our best to recreate the flavors, sounds and spirit of an authentic Grecian festivity!
