This is one of Madrid's smartest Greek eating spots offering the full gamut of Hellenic fare and then some.

The atmosphere is friendly and the taberna-style decor gets you in the right mood to enjoy the food. Pikalia megali is the ideal full-bodied appetizer, combining many familiar Greek tidbits on a single platter including taramasalata, tzatsiki, black olives, feta cheese, and dolmades (stuffed grape leaves).

The Hellenes' favorite meat, lamb, scores highly here: Try the delicious Delfos version cooked with nuts and honey.
