My Greek Taverna Siargao

My Greek Taverna brings Greek food to General Luna in a beach-hut setting that somehow suits the mix of Mediterranean cuisine and tropical island perfectly. Souvlaki, tzatziki, moussaka, and the core Greek dishes arrive in a casual format that doesn't require any prior knowledge of Greek dining.

Greek food is an unusual find anywhere in Southeast Asia, which gives it an inherent appeal for travellers weeks into Southeast Asian food who want something from a completely different tradition. The dishes are made with care and read as the real thing rather than an approximation.

The beach-hut setting adds a Siargao-specific quality: Greek food eaten with sand nearby, both incongruous and entirely pleasant. The souvlaki platter with pita and tzatziki is the best introduction, covering the key flavours and techniques in one order.
