Greek Taverna Bold Street

You'll smell the charcoal grill before you even step inside this bustling taverna that's been feeding Bold Street's crowds for years. The white-washed walls and blue accents might look like every other Greek restaurant, but one bite of their lamb kleftiko or a properly made tzatziki will remind you why the classics exist for a reason. The sharing plates here are proper generous – none of that tiny-portion nonsense you get elsewhere. Their moussaka has that perfect balance of creamy béchamel and rich meat sauce, while the grilled halloumi comes properly charred and squeaky. It's the kind of place where you order way too much food, drink a carafe of house wine, and somehow still manage to find room for baklava.
