Sokrates is a fine little Greek restaurant tucked away in the Pennines…read more The food is uniformly decent and surprisingly cheap. There's banquets to share and a good range of dishes, all of which look good enough on the menu to take a hopeful punt on. In fairness, they ARE all worth taking a punt on! The bar is as well stocked as any restaurant bar and the wine list is... well... I'm not a wine expert so I wouldn't know. From the look of it, it seems good enough unless you're Oz Clark. The staff are all pleasant and clued up and, on certain nights, they have traditional Greek music and, well, let me just say that, if you're after a quiet romantic night in, avoid this one (ring ahead to find out when it is as I can't remember) as it can get a bit loud. Fun as hell though. A good little restaurant this!

If there's one type of cuisine/restaurant that you could definitely call the 'flavour of the month'…read more(no pun intended), then it's tapas. It used to be that tapas bars were fairly rare but these days they're everywhere, popping up in many towns close to me (although not in Formby quite yet) and O'Este is Ormskirk's offering. Situated slightly away from the main village area, O'Este offers its diners a fine selection of tapas as well as main meals and a table d'hote menu offering 2 courses for thirteen pounds or 3 courses for seventeen pounds. The tapas menu is quite varied and slightly more unusual and sophisticated than your usual tapas bar, offering sardines, mussels and swordfish alongside the usual favourites like chorizo and patatas bravas, all of which are fairly reasonably priced. The a la carte menu has a modest selection of dishes on it, including hanging beef and pork skewers as well as roast monkfish. This menu is a bit more expensive but all the dishes are well-cooked and delicious. The restaurant itself is bright and comfortable and the waiting on staff are both friendly and attentive at all times, ensuring any visit to O'Este is an enjoyable one.

Restaurant with excellent conservatory main dining area and cosy bar…read more Good for groups. Food mid priced. Friendly staff. Some special offer deals early in the week (Monday 2 for 1) are great value for money. Tapas also features, but can be more variable, with some dishes being held in the kitchen waiting rather than being served immediately each is ready. So I would go for the main menu.

Name issues aside though, The Greek Taverna is a lovely restaurant to dine in and represents a refreshing change from the usual swarm of Indian and Italian restaurants that litter the local area (talk about overkill). The dishes available there are both varied and delicious, with the lamb keftedes being a particularly favourite of mine, as well as the kalamari. The Greek Taverna also does several special offers which are well worth checking out, such as the Early Evening Menu (2 courses for £12.95) and a Sunday menu, both of which represent excellent value for money considering the rich and flavoursome food on offer. The staff there are friendly and attentive also, ensuring that your dining experience at The Greek Taverna is one you will savour, just like their food.

So when I spied the rather nice looking Meze I made a bee line for it. It's quite a swanky looking eatery, especially in the area it's in and inside it didn't disappoint either. The waiters were pleasant and efficient and it all looked promising. That promise was maintained throughout the evening. The food is Turkish and Greek and a cuisine I've not really sampled too often. I wish I had though if this is any standard to measure by. Really tasty starters and fresh, well cooked mains. The kebabs and Turkish rice was simply delicious. The wine list was also perfectly good and the price, although not cheap reflected the standard of the food. A must for lovers of this type of food.

This is a really great authentic Greek and Mediterranean restaurant based in the heart of Blackpool…read moreon the busy Talbot Road, they offer a range of Greek food cooked to order using only the finest and freshest ingredients and cooked to original family recipes. They offer an amazing choice of starters, mains and desserts and if you have never tried Greek food before you are in for a treat... and if you have you will find this the best this side of the Med. All in all an excellent restaurant and takeaway whether you live in Blackpool or visiting for a day or weekend.

A friend recommended this restaurant to us, so we decided to book a table and give it a try…read more Knowing that the venue has served as various types of restaurant in the past, first impressions were that it has been given quite a good makeover, right down to the colour theme of the island of Santorini. The welcome from the staff was friendly and we were shown to our table straight away and left with the wine list. Whilst not extensive, there are a number of Greek wines to choose from so we tried the Makedonikos, a medium dry white wine that went quite well with our food. Of course, being a Greek restaurant we had to start with a mezze, and there's certainly plenty to choose from here. We tried a small variety of dishes including the calimari, tzatziki and hummus, all of which were delicious. Next, the selection of main courses provides plenty of choice and we both decided to try the Stifado, a favourite of mine since I first tried it in Cyprus a few years ago. The beef is so well cooked here until it is really tender and just falls apart on your fork and the sauce is full of flavour. Highly recommended :) My only comment on the restaurant itself is that, although they've tried to capture the essence of Greece, it's not *quite* there yet. The lighting seemed just a bit too bright and behind the decor, the resturant seems just a bit too modern for a traditional Greek taverna. Hopefully this will change over time as the restaurant develops a bit more character - it is still quite new after all. Otherwise, the food is excellent and the staff are friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be going back. :)
