Hi Stefanie-Yes in fact I went last night! But I need to go back to get some more photos. But it’s lovely and many of the dishes are from Perama but there are some new ones too including meat on the spit and a lot of pastries as they hand roll the filo. The desserts are of course amazing! Reasonably priced too esp. considering the city location and he has a $55 buffet too. The decor is lovely!

We were lucky to get a booking on the last Friday they were open. David was really lovely on the phone and managed to fit us in, had a fantastic meal all the food was great with the octopus a standout. Looking forward to trying Xanthi. Lorraine, I mentioned to David that I read about Perama in your blog and he said you are his favourite blogger

I really do hope you watched your calories and accompanied the feast with diet drinks!! Ho ho. —As far as I’m concerned Greek cooking is one of the purest, most healthy and MOST DELICIOUS cuisines on earth, I’m so sorry that it hasn’t really caught on here in Berkeley, California except for baklava (which Turkey, Egypt and other similar countries enjoy), tzatziki and occasionally moussaka… My weight doubled looking at the photos, I shall now retreat to my Greek cookbook collection and start cooking away, calories be damned! Humph!!
