Mythos
A sun-bleached little taverna up on North Hill doing the bright, generous, lemon-soaked Greek cooking that makes you book a flight.

Garides saganaki
Saganaki prawns, the gigantes, plenty of bread, a cold bottle of assyrtiko.

“Saganaki prawns that arrive on fire and leave you grinning.”
Mythos gets the small things right. Bread that is actually warm, olive oil worth dunking in, and a garides saganaki that turns up bubbling in a tomato and feta sauce begging to be mopped.
The gigantes plaki, those giant beans baked low and slow, are a quiet triumph, and the Greek quinoa salad is fresher and more interesting than that description deserves.
It loses a fraction for service that wandered off during the rush, but the cooking pulls it firmly back. Sunshine on a plate, ten minutes from the city centre.
