Ever wondered what *meze* really means? 🇬🇷

In Greek culture, *meze* isn’t just food — it’s a way of eating.

It’s all about variety, sharing, and slowing down to enjoy the moment. Instead of one big dish, the table is filled with small plates like:
🥗 Fresh Greek salads with feta & olives
🧄 Dips like tzatziki, hummus & taramasalata
🍇 Dolmades (stuffed vine leaves)
🧀 Grilled halloumi & saganaki
🥩 Souvlaki & other grilled meats
🍤 Seafood favourites like calamari
🫓 Warm pita bread

Meze is meant to be shared with friends and family — creating that true *parea* feeling ❤️

Tsiknopempti (Τσικνοπέμπτη) – Greece’s “Smoky Thursday” 🇬🇷🔥

In Greece, today is Tsiknopempti — which literally means “Smoky Thursday.”

We’re bringing that tradition to Illovo tonight.

🔥 Souvlakia on the grill
🍷 Wine flowing
🎶 True Greek atmosphere

If you can’t be in Greece… be at Parea.
