White Village #582

10 (actually only 7) Things I learned about Greece by eating at White Village

1. Blue and White is not just the colours on the Greek flag but also the colours that all Greek restaurants must be.  Blue walls and tablecloths with white, scribble worthy paper over the top of it.
   
2. People are happy.  The hum in this restaurant was jovial, generous and welcoming.  We seated ourselves at the round table at the front.  
3. Greek waiters are unflappable.  The service was amazing - just one man (I think the owner), who served 20 tables without a notepad and with great good humour.  He has clearly done this before.
4. The food is delicious.  We ordered the dips, marinated octopus, pan fried calamari, flounder, moussaka, lamb gyros and salad.  The marinated octopus was better than the stuff you buy from Queen Vic market - fresh and home made.  The deep fried calamari was crisp. 
   
5. They know how to cook lamb.  It was delicious - well seasoned and melted in the mouth.
6. They also know how to grill a fish.  Just YUM. I forgot to get a photo of the flounder - sorry - just come and order it yourself

   

   The flounder- sorry

7. You can experience a little bit of Greece in Elsternwick by going to this restaurant.  And it is cheap enough to bring the kids.
