Easter is a great occasion for foodies, and here are some of our recommendations for where to spend next Sunday lunch:
Estiatorio Milos, Regent Street
Estiatorio Milos London, part of a family-owned and well loved Greek restaurant empire founded in 1979 by Greek-born restaurateur Costas Spiliadis offers a time-honoured celebration of Greek Easter on Sunday 20th April.
Estiatorio Milos London is renowned for its dedication to excellent ingredients; whether sourcing from local Greek farmers or small-scale fisheries, Costas has continued to preserve a true taste of the Mediterranean over four decades, ensuring unwavering standards in sourcing. The upcoming Greek Easter Menu is no exception, for £130 PP guests can enjoy a selection of dishes including the Magiritsa Soup, a traditional easter lamb soup served to break fasting, Easter Salad – Romaine salad, crumbled Milos feta, dill dressing and Tsoureki, a traditional Greek Easter braided bread, representative of the Holy Trinity.
At the centre of the table will lie The Regent Street spit-roasted Lamb, symbolising Christ as the ‘Lamb of God’, which will be roasted over an outdoor spit, a traditional practise that is carried out with great celebration. The Lamb will also be served with oven-roasted lemon potatoes and wild Greek mountain greens, or, guests can also enjoy this dish unaccompanied within the A La Carte Menu (£75). Upholding traditions, guests can partake in the traditional egg-cracking game, ‘tsougrisma’, where guests tap their red dyed eggs against each other, aiming to remain uncracked to symbolize good fortune for the year ahead.
