Upon arrival, it was clear this is a family run, deeply loved authentic Greek restaurant. We were…read moregreeted like old friends even though it was clear we were famished tourists. I loved the feel of the place. Small but generous in personal space. Extra effort was made to make sure our party of 6 were comfortable. And the food was delicious. The welcome pre dinner treats such as olives, radishes, and peppers were delightful. Then came the hummus--best I have ever had. The king prawns were simply cooked and wonderful. Everything was so fresh! The calamari, the Greek salad. All excellent. The entrees our party enjoyed included lamb, chicken, spanakopita, falafel, and so much more. If I lived in the area, I would frequent the place. I even commented to my wife that I could see myself landing at LHR and making my way straight to Aphrodite!

But our host was the most pleasant man and fished out items from the kitchen that weren't only vegan but also delicious! To begin with, even without ordering anything, pitas, flava bean salad, and olives, which, by themselves, more than hold their own. The falafels are one of the best I've tasted in London. And the hummus was unbelievable. For mains, the dolmades were excellent. Even the roasted potatoes that our host offered, and which weren't on the menu, were amazing. Overall, the chefs and hosts at the Aprodite Taverna take real joy in feeding people. And I'd definitely go here again: for the food as well as the service.

Lunch at L'Etranger is good, but free lunch at L'Etranger is better. Mwahahaha. In amongst the…read moresomewhat dodgy Italian restaurants in the Gloucester Road area, it's instantly noticeable from the outside (especially with the large collection of empty wine bottles in the window). The inside is swanky, modern, and unmistakeably French, from the waiters to the L'Occitane handsoap and French audiobooks playing in the loos. L'Etranger deals in Japanese-inspired French cuisine (as opposed to the French-inspired Japanese of Dinings and such), featuring lots of miso, ponzu, and furikake topping. The lunch menu is £14.50 for two courses and £19.50 for three - considering that you'd end up paying that sort of cash in Carluccio's, it's great value. For starter, I had the Foie Gras parfait, served with a chocolate and kidney sauce, and some nice peppery greenery on the side. Whilst I must've had foie gras at some point in my life, I don't remember doing so, so I have to consider this my first time eating it - it was very enjoyable, the parfait was light and smooth, and the chocolate sauce was great - not too sweet, and a hint of bitterness coming from the kidneys. The parfait was slightly on the salty side, but far from execrably so. The main was the real winner though: ribeye marinated in black bean and soya, served with green beans and a potato salad. The accompaniments were pleasant and the round of potato salad was nice and light. The beef was mouth-wateringly good, soft and almost as melt-in-the-mouth as wagyu sashimi, yet not too salty from the marinade. The accompanying sauce was, likewise, packed with umami and I definitely had one of those "would it really be SO bad to lick my plate?" moments. I would've happily eaten another 24oz of it. Oh yeah. Pudding had a tough act to follow, but it was a great finish to a great lunch (photo included above!) - a well balanced, wild strawberry, pistachio, and calamansi macaroon, with a cute sesame seed encrusted basket of chopped strawberry. To top it off, the petit fours - macaroons and some small, creamy, coconut encrusted morsels - were great too. Service was friendly, although our French waiter was somewhat forgetful which was a little frustrating. Still, the friendliness made up for it (he'd probably be quite at home in Byron). The à la carte menu is fairly pricey (average starter is ~£14, mains from £16.50 to £65); they also do a sashimi menu too. I'm pretty intrigued though, and hopefully will be lucky enough to go back at some point. If you're looking for a fairly swanky lunch at a fair price though, you can't go wrong with this set menu.

If you are looking for an evening of great Greek food, dancing, drink, and live music, look no further, this is your place. The food here is so good, you MUST come hungry, even better starving because they serve you about 5 courses here. Be sure to pace yourself! It's easy to fill yourself up on the tasty starters of gorgeous humous, aubergine, and various tasty seafood. Don't arrive early here. If you come before 10pm the place will seem dead. The live music on weekends doesn't start until about 11 and that's when the real party starts. Be sure to wear your dancing shoes as there is a good sized dance floor! Apollo is a diamond in the rough of Seven Sisters! Be sure to make a night of it!
