Current food trends in Greece?

[dpappas87]

I understand that Greece is just like other countries where there might be food trends, new dishes, etc to enjoy.

I'm looking to understand more about the latest trends that are currently shaping it. I'm particularly interested in how traditional Greek recipes are being reimagined by modern chefs, how regional variations are gaining popularity, or if there's a rise in any particular ingredients or cooking methods.

Is anyone here keeping tabs on contemporary movements in Greek food? Maybe you've dined at a restaurant that surprised you with a modern twist on a Greek classic, or you've come across new food blogs with innovative recipes.

The cuisine of Greece is as much about the traditional recipes we all love as it is the trends and the way the cuisine moves forward!

I have noticed that there is more of an ethnic cuisine presence in bigger cities than I may have realized. People eat traditional foods and also trendy foods - it's a very interesting place to enjoy food. When I was in Athens this past year, I noticed there were a ton of places to get smoothies, salads (beyond the typical Greek salads), sandwiches... I went to one place and had a chia breakfast bowl! There are some health conscious places that have popped up since the last time I was in Athens, such as vegan places - this is just in Athens I didn't notice trends for anywhere else.
