ATHENIAN GARDEN – Greek
Two St. Petersburg dining rooms, one family, and a kitchen that has been turning out homemade Greek cooking since 1977. Lunch specials move fast; the gyro is what most tables order first. The rest of the menu spreads across spreads and appetisers, soups, salads, sandwiches and wraps, vegetarian plates and platters: Greek shish kebab, moussaka, falafel, mild Greek sausage over rice with grilled onions and peppers. Saganaki, dolmadakia, spanakopita and avgolemono open proceedings. The in-house bakery finishes them with baklava, chocolate-dipped baklava and galaktoboureko. Regulars talk about generous plates and fair prices. Doors open at eleven every morning, seven days.
