Introduction
This Greek restaurant has a large long table at the alfresco area. With the summer breeze and a bit of sun, sitting outside this white-painted café you can almost forget that you are in Hong Kong. This restaurant serves Mediterranean dishes made with the freshest ingredients. The Octopus Salad is special as a starter. The Lamp Souvlaki is so nicely grilled. The Mousaka Lesvos is a must try also. As for main dishes, Kritharaki is the most popular choice.

Everything about this place stimulates your senses and just screams Greece!(My mother was even convinced it smelt like the taverns we visited in Greece - which I suppose id a good start)The decor, atmosphere is very relaxing, and as it is situated outside a park, you really do get the sensation that you are no longer in Hong KongA party of four, we ordered the Greek salad, lamb souvlaki, Mezze platter (a variety of dips with pita bread and dolmathes (stuffed vine leaves) and raisin couscous) , spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese in phyllo pastry) and of course you can't go to a Greek restaurant without ordering moussaka homemade pitta bread and the dips were highly enjoyable - you just want to keep going back for more - I think we may have even ordered another round of pitta breadThe other dishes were also enjoyable and brought back memories of our stay in GreeceHOWEVER, visits to this restaurant are most likely going to be very few as it was incredibly pricey ($800+)

Souvlaki in Pita 係少弟鐘愛的食物之一,離開Montreal十幾年都記得Tzatsiki加烤肉夾在Pita bread 內的完美口味. 希臘餐廳係香港都算冷門, 要慰藉心靈唔係咁易.揾到El Greco 有 Souvlaki 即刻要會一會佢,先打個電話留定枱,收工同太太拿拿林揸車過去.地點都算易揾,泊車都唔係問題.泊好車行過去發覺週邊都係唐樓商店,間餐廳隔離重係車房,令我諗起深水步個間法國菜. El Greco 正門對正鴨脷洲海濱長廊公園,其實星期日可以一家大少去食個晏. El Greco 裝修簡潔,色調條和(見相), 經理 Austin 親切. 即時唔記得左外面D唐樓車房. Austin 會細心介紹菜式特別之處,對我黎講冇乜用,皆因我心只有Souvlaki, 好可惜! 佢地只有Pork Souvlaki served with Pita Bread. 山長水遠黎到既我,"輸左都要一半",唯有接受,重要叫大size(見相). 味道唔錯, 嫌D Pork 烤得唔夠Juicy. Tzatsiki真係好正, 有D久焊逢甘露Feel....其他食物留番你地講.由我七點去到食到八點半走,成間餐廳都剩係得我兩公婆,我極力推介比你地,快D去試下,我好想佢地一路做落去.

When it comes to alfresco dining, there are only a handful of such restaurants in Hong Kong. It might have to do with the humidity and heat during the summer time or perhaps pollution or lack of financially feasible real estate. I was introduced to this restaurant on my friend's birthday lunch during one Sunday afternoon few weeks ago when the temperature started to drop below 30C. The place is not the easiest to find because it is tugged somewhere in Ap Lei Chau . For me it was a definite occasion to make it all the way to there. We ordered the following items: (1) Mezze Platter (Humus, meltzanosalata, with tabouleh, tarama and pita bread)(2) Keftedes (Minced lamb meat balls in herb tomato sauce and cumin topped with yogurt)(3) Bakaliaro Keftedes (Cod Croquettes on cream garlic sauce with lemon)(4) Oxtapodaki (Grilled Octopus salad with steamed potato topped with olive oil)(5) Lambraki (grilled whole seabass with steam lemon potatoes and thyme)(6) Sardelles Sth Skara (Grilled sardines in vine leaves marinated with lemon and fresh oregano)(7) Pork Souvlaki(8) Pasxhati (Leg of lamb slow roasted and grilled with bulgur)(9) Bifteki sth skara (grilled Merguez Burger with pita bread, cucumber, red onion and sour cream)(10) Kotopoulo Pastitsatha apo tin kerkyra (clay pot chicken roasted in fragrant tomato sauce)Likes: * Alfresco (sort of) * Pasxhati- wonderfully flavored and the texture was just right, not overly chewy with slight tenderness.Dislikes: * Although alfresco, every now and then you will see a lady with a garbage trolley pass by the tables + location location location! * Lambraki - a bit too dry * Kotopoulo Pastitsatha apo tin kerkyra - chicken a bit too dry but very rich in flavorsAvg Spending: HKD 200 - 300 per personFor the full review, please visit the original blog with more pictures: http://jason-bonvivant.blogspot.com/2009/11/el-greco.html

It was a cold evening and I guess nobody was in the mood to venture out of their warm homes, so it was just the 2 of us for the whole evening at the restaurant.We drove and parked right outside the restaurant for free. The heater was on inside the restaurant so naturally we sat indoors, but it would be nice to sit outside on a nice sunny day. The owner was a Frenchman from Brittany and welcomed us warmly.The set dinner was $290 for an appetiser, a main and a dessert. We chose the mezze platter and the lamb meatballs, the mixed fish platter (sardine, salmon, sole), and the grilled whole seabream (quite a large fish), and desserts was milk yoghurt with honey and sour cherries (which looked and tasted like raisins) and the baklava with icecream.Everything was nicely excecuted and the portions were adequate, but the pita bread that came with the mezze was slightly burnt and a little oily. The fish were both grilled to perfection, and it's easy to dry up a seabream and make it tough, but this one tasted fresh, succulent and briny. The owner assured us that all the fish came in that morning from France and the supplier is very reliable (as opposed to the previous greek supplier). The baklava tasted homemade with coarsely chopped nuts, just the right amount of honey and feather-light phyllo pastry, which was perfectly accompanied by the scoop of icecream. The yoghurt dessert was a little less exciting, as I thought it was supposed to look like one of the pictures I saw on other's reviews earlier, but instead it came in a wine glass, there were flakes of crushed ice in the yoghurt which ended up making the dessert a bit watered down.There was only the owner serving us, and sometimes he needed a bit of prompting to refill the lemon-flavoured water. But we weren't in a rush, and it's nice to wind down once in a while. Overall, a nice place for a date and something different from the usual run of the mill LKF restaurants.
