My Big Fat Greek Feast at Estia in SoNo!

Fairfield County "It!" enjoyed feasting on authentic Greek cuisine at Estia
in SoNo
(South Norwalk).

The restaurant is named after the goddess
Estia, the most important of the Greek goddesses.
Her name means
"the essence",
​the true nature of things.

Estia Restaurant brings to you the Essence of Greek Cuisine.

We started off with ​
Saganaki

Pan fried Greek Kefalograviera Cheese,
 Metaxa Cognac Flambé Style

Delicious!  
The salty nutty creamy cheese
seared with the flaming amber Mexatac liquor
was dramatic and
​pleasing to my taste buds, 

​Spanakopita 

Feta Cheese and Spinach
layered between Phyllo Dough

​The generous portion was a perfect combination of flaky phyllo filled with
the buttery spinach & feta.

​Octapodi

Fresh grilled octopus
olive oil, red wine vinegar & fresh herbs

​Charred to crisp, yet tender.

 Gyro Platter
Marinated in Greek seasoning Pita, Rice and Tzatziki  

​
​Chicken Souvlaki
Marinated in Greek seasonings Pita Rice and Tzatziki 

Both the Gyro & the Souvlaki pairings of grilled beef and poultry were yum, and complemented by the tang of the ​Yogurt, Cucumber, Dill, Garlic and Olive Oil Tzatziki.

​Lavraki

Whole Mediterranean Bass imported form Greece
grilled & served off the bone with Lemon Potatoes and drizzled with

​Ladolemono
(Lemon Olive Oil Sauce) 

I love this dish.  
It takes me to the islands of Greece,
dining with the intoxicating fragrance of a sea breeze!  

The Mediterranean Bass exquisitely tender and mildly seasoned.  
The tasty lemon potatoes a hit with everyone!

The owners of Estia are from Greece
and the authenticity of the Greek cuisine is apparent.
