Greek food is on the rise, with people all over the world falling in love with its bright flavours, complex textures, and delicious evocation of the Mediterranean. Avra is one of the first authentic Greek restaurants in Bangkok, helmed by Greek chef Konstantinos Sarrimavrogenis. He brings with him an extensive knowledge of the cuisine of his homeland and a passion for Thailand’s fresh produce.

Start the meal with some herbed pita bread and traditional Greek dips like tangy yoghurt Tzatziki and Taramas, briny cod roe heightened with lemon juice and herbs. Follow up with some classic Greek salads bursting with crisp greens, salty feta, and juicy tomatoes before knuckling down to hearty mains like cheesy eggplant and beef Moussaka. The backbone of Greek food is seafood and Avra doesn’t disappoint with dishes like a hulking leg of octopus is stuffed with feta cheese and a flourish of peppers before being dressed in a tangy olive oil sauce, or a sea bass that’s plainly grilled then livened up with lashings of herbed, lemony dressing. Simplicity, fresh ingredients, and zingy flavours, come experience one of the great cuisines of the Mediterranean! (Oct 2016)
