What is your favorite dish to order for mezze?

[nadellii]

Mezze is the ultimate Greek style of eating. If you didn’t know, mezze is similar to Spanish tapas. It’s when you order smaller plates for everyone at the table to share. Personally, my favorite mezze is fried calamari. You really can’t go wrong with it! What about you?

fried calamari on its own does not make a mezze.you need at least 6 plates of different items.say cheese balls, meat balls, stuffed vine leaves, gigantes, fried fetta cheese & olives.

The Greek ouzo meze is part of the drinking experience as it helps you drink ouzo or raki without getting intoxicated. More about the meze below. Yes, you need more that 5 items to make a meze. In the past, when I was young, I remember a tiny plate with cheese, meatball, sardine, tomato, cucumber, bread and olive (for my grandfather's ouzaki). https://www.thegreekvibe.com/the-greek-meze-its-story/

Saganaki me meli kai sousami (Saganaki with honey and sesame).

Kalamaria is probably a close second.

Is saganaki with honey and sesame popular all over Greece? I haven't seen it in every restaurant as I do plain saganaki

Spanakopeta, fava, loukaniko, ...all are good and delicious.

Yesss loukaniko is the best!! Especially when it’s made fresh at the butcher.

Anything that involves olives or octopus! Also, I sometimes enjoy loukoumades. Sometimes in bars/cafes in Greece they bring over loukoumades when you order a cocktail. Yummy!
