10 Greek Plates 'Christmas in Greece'

To celebrate the festive season, Gastrology recently attended a wonderful Greek island inspired share style Christmas dinner at 10 Greek Plates in Brighton.  

To begin the feast, we were treated to some delicious starters such as the fluffy and soft pita breads with accompanying dips, and the traditional saganaki and grilled haloumi which had a lovely texture with the citrus of the freshly squeezed lemon juice cutting through the cheese to perfection. The Yasou calamari was also a delight to taste as the fresh calamari was tender and was complemented by a fresh greek slaw. 

 The main dishes were served up soon after, and the meat platter was enormous! Filled with lamb, chicken, Greek sausage, pita bread, chips and tzatziki, the hellenic platter was definitely a crowd pleaser as the meat was succulent and tender straight off the rolling spit roaster.

Finishing off the decadent meal, there were a selection of authentic desserts. The  traditional Greek loukoumades were wonderfully fluffy on the inside with a drenching of pistachios and honey on the outside. They were a great way to end the evening!
