Grilled Octopus
Danika G.

I took myself on a little solo date here since it's a short walk from my house. What a cute place! It's a restaurant and bakery and the decor is gorgeous. I wish I could remember my servers name because he was so funny and so helpful. He also didn't judge me for getting basically one of everything for just myself lol. I got the grilled calamari, octopus, and lamb chops. I was NOT expecting the calamari to be so huge haha it was so delicious and flavorful though. I always prefer grilled over fried calamari. The lamb chops were juicy and seasoned so well (not gamey at all). And octopus is a favorite of mine anywhere I go, this was a 10/10. I'll 100% be returning here before I move out of this neighborhood!

Espresso Martini
Ellaine J.

I've been living in Baltimore for 4 years and I did not know there was a Greek town. My boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner at Estiatorio Plaka. The decor is absolutely stunning, and I love that they have their own shop/bakery attached. I was so full from dinner that I did not get to try any deserts but I definitely want to go back for a sweet treat and to grab a couple of their infused olive oils. For drinks I ordered the espresso martini and my boyfriend got this like spicy margarita type of cocktail. Both were delicious. We got the Baked Feta in Phyllo for our appetizer, it was delicious and came out nice and fresh. The flavors were so balanced. For our entrees I got the seafood linguini and my boyfriend got the lamb chops. The portion for the seafood linguini is HUGE, so be prepared to take basically a whole meal to go. The seafood was cooked properly the noodles had great texture and the sauce honestly tastes like the sauce from spaghettios and I mean that in the best way possible. It was yummy and nostalgic. Could've used a tad bit more seasoning though. Same for the lamb, cooked perfectly, tasted good, but wasn't the best lamb chops from a flavor perspective. I was expecting more of burst of flavor. Maybe if they added a little flaky salt right off the grill it would've kicked it up a notch. All in all it was a great dinner. The ambiance was perfect, that service was amazing. And I will 10000% be going back because the couple next to us ordered the Greek roasted chicken and it smelled HEAVENLY.

Plaka Mezze Spreads
Erin B.

New huge fan of Estiatorio Plaka!! The restaurant itself is beautiful, the seating area feels upscale while still being welcoming and warm. A group of us came for happy hour and it was incredible. The $1 oysters, mezze spread (with hummus, tzatziki, eggplant, and I think a roe cream cheese), and espresso martinis were all 10/10 for me. Sometimes an espresso martini can be a little bitter but I felt like this one had the perfect balance of sweetness!

Happy hour
Alice L.

One of the best happy hours in the city! Food: Extensive happy hour food menu at great prices. Delicious: $1 oysters, mezze spreads with pita, mini spinach & cheese pies. Skippable: zucchini chips, and the mini gyros were a little dry. All signature cocktails are $7, honestly amazing price and they are strong and tasty! Service: sat at the bar, bartender was lovely, fast, made good recommendations. Ambiance: restaurant is super cute, bright and well decorated; bathrooms are nice and clean. Bonus: restaurant is attached to their bakery, the mini pistachio baklavas are some of the best ever!!!

I can't say enough good things about this hidden gem. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary with the kid and wanted to grab lunch. I was looking for a place that was not too expensive, with good food, good vibes and family friendly; Estiatorio Plaka (EP) delivered. Located in Greektown, not too far from Canton is EP. They have been opened for less than two years and have a bakery, bar and formal restaurant. The outside of this place does it no justice. In fact, with a secret a door it could easily be a speakeasy. The only difficult part is the parking lot. There is limited street parking and a dedicated parking lot that's a 4 minute walk. We arrived, with our reservation and were immediately seated. The staff were friendly and I appreciated that they had a pillow for my son's back in the high chair. My wife's immediate response was, this place is nice; good choice. We started off with a Bellini and Mimosa which were mixed to perfection. It was the right amount of juice and champagne. Then, we didn't know what to order because everything sounded good so we got the French toast and the kayianas (mixed scrambled eggs). The French toast was very tasty and light; the eggs were flavorful as well. Then, I ordered the gyro which had shaved meat, fries, onions and tomatoes which was just as good. It's refreshing to find a place off the beaten path, that's not over saturated and delivers in all areas (customer service, decor, food quality, etc). We can't wait to return for brunch or dinner.

This is my second time going there . I love their food . The waiter was so nice and funny . This time around I tried different things . The gyro was good and flavorful. The salad was fresh . Also their bakery side omg , has a variety of coffee , wine and pastries . I will go back for sure to try more

Chicken Souvlaki Pita
Janet L.

Finally ordered delivery from Estiatorio Plaka and I am so happy that I finally took the plunge. Take my feedback knowing that it was delivered! I got the chicken souvlaki pita and fries. The pita bread itself was amazingly flaky and buttered. I'm not sure if they make their own pita or it's just buttered to perfection but I could just eat the pita for days. The souvlaki had fries in it and honestly it would've been better for me without them so consider eating them in the side! The hand cut fries were a bit soggy but I attribute this to the delivery. I might skip the fries next time and try the potatoes that looked delicious!

Fresh bread

Another excellent experience at Estiatorio Plaka! From our server who was absolutely amazing, kind, and attentive, to the delicious meals and beautiful setting. This restaurant is a must-try and also a must-revisit. Make sure you save room for dessert and check out their onsite bakery that has all of the best treats and eats to take on the go Cannot wait to go back again, again. Was a great celebration for a good friend.

Pasta rosa
Mike J.

GET HERE IMMEDIATELY! Came for the lunch special, then stayed for happy hour. Everything was so memorable. Drinks, food, dessert, customer service, ambiance, cleanliness, every single thing EXCEPT the limited parking. We ordered a lot: Pasta Rosa: 10/10 - extremely flavorful and a lot of chicken Avgolemomo soup: 7/10 - not super strong lemon taste as I expected. Still pretty good Oysters: 7/10 - some weird gristle on it, only half dozen Mini spinach & cheese pie: 10/10 - amazing flaky crust. Good filling. Feta fillo honey: 10/10 - a must try. Soooo good. Cheesecake Baklava: 10/10 - threw me off with how good it was. A must try. Ferrero bar: 8/10 Baklava: 10/10 Nutella bracelets: 9/10 Chocolate covered baklava: 10/10 Passion fruit crush: 10/10 Smokey Whiskey: 10/10 Mykonos Highball: 6/10 too syrupy

Stuffed fish
Andrea' C.

I love the ambiance of this restaurant! It is like you left Baltimore and are on vacation! I went on a Saturday evening and sat at the bar. I had a great bartender and dinner. I went for lamb but decided to try one of the specials instead. It was the stuffed rockfish and it was filling and delicious. There are many more things on the menu that I want to try so I'll def be back.

Coffee menu
Ana B.

Stopped here randomly for lunch and had an amazing experience. I haven't been since the spring and was really delighted to see a lunch special that changes every week. I thought I might just get a pastry but was hungry enough for lunch. The restaurant is huge and I sat in a different location than last time and the sun was shining and it was just so beautiful. I felt like I've been transported to Greece. Nikki was my server and she was ABOVE AND BEYOND. She was so attentive she easily could've just left me alone, but was friendly and really went above with giving me extra napkins and freshly cracking pepper on my burger. It was really an elite experience. I couldn't even finish half the burger as the entree came with a salad. The lunch special was quite cheap and they have one dollar espresso on the menu, which is insane.

Bougatsa French Toast
Brian S.

Located in Greektown, it is what you would expect: delicious Greek cuisine! We made a group reservation and had no issues getting in or seated. The staff Were exceptionally attentive and friendly. Definitely a return visit is in order.

Great crusty garlic bread offered up before a hello. Great service with a smile from multiple staff. Clean quarters with a high tech bathroom. The toilet see s you leave then flushes. Electric eyes on the water spigots and blow dryers. Portions are large throughout. Greeks don't let you leave hungry. Our monster Greek salad was had feta, onions, tomatoes, olives(watch out for the pits, and cucumbers. One entree was mousaka with ground beef and eggplant. It was excellent, but we had to bring home half of it. Same with the baked chicken. Burnt lemon and a olive oil, butter base for heaps of flavor. Mounds of roasted potatoes. Ate some, bagged the remainder. Then we finished with orange cake soaked in some sweet syrup. Totally hit the spot. In Baltimore's Greek town, I'd move them to the head of the line.

Kayianas!

And I love that they give back to the community in areas such as education, community and philanthropy. Stopped in this past Saturday with a bunch of my gym friends. I love that their tap list offers a little bit of everything for everyone, from classic lagers and IPA to house ciders. I am a Pilsner girl, so their Pilsner was my fave. I love that they do weekly events such as Trivia and open mic nights to name a few as well as host a few several food trucks out back. Oh and this is the spot where they have that really nice flea market as well. You have to check their Instagram page to see which food trucks will be serving food. Saturday they had empanadas from Aru Aru, which were very yummy and made fresh to order. Best spot if you are a beer connoisseur, great place for happy hours and is accommodating for large parties. Plus you bring your own cards and board games to play as well. I will so definitely return.

The old church and architecture is so warm and inviting-- it was still decorated and lit for Christmas so it felt extra festive. It WAS weird to see the brew tanks at the front of the old church, where the altar would have been. But it also places the beer on the altar of our Friday night so I was OK with that. I had an American Pale Ale, the husband had a Kolsch. My beer was exceptional and delicious. My husband said the kolsch was OK. They also have a cute space with books and board games! As well as a cool merchandise wall with excellent cool t-shirts. I had to restrain myself. There is no kitchen or food served here. Order at the bar and sit where you want, there are plenty of tables and a lot of elbow space. The folks at the bar are Super Nice and you should tip them well. They told me there is usually a food truck that shows up at an undisclosed time in the evening. We did order some fantastic pretzels (w/ smoked gouda) and waited some more but ultimately had to go find a meal elsewhere. We will be back, perhaps in warmer weather to wait out the food truck and have more beer. Also, we were there for happy hour so our beers were $5! Thank you to all of the kind people at The Ministry of Brewing! We will be back.

I felt at any moment the authorities would swing through the door forcing us to hide our drinks. **Wild thoughts** Kyle made a cocktail he's "been working on" and he needs to put that shxt on the menu asap! So delicious. It was late night and I stayed here about an hour (closed the spot ha) and I was able to enjoy a mini impromptu concert by another patron Ebony, as Kyle was sweet enough to play some of her music. All in all, a perfect end to my evening. High recommendation for Rye. The End.
