Bar Meze, Clapham High St

I went out for a work friend (Els) birthday last night to a Greek place on Clapham High St. El is actually from Cyprus so we thought a Greek restaurant would be great for her. It has a great feel to it as it is small with only about 8 tables and one older Greek man serving. It serves a meze style where you only chose veggie or meat and then a whole host of dishes is brought out, most of which I had no idea what they were!

The owner is your waiter giving it a real family feel to it and he spent a while chatting to all his 'guests' explaining the health benefits of the food, some definitely more true than others. For instance apparently beetroot will prevent women requiring hormones after the menopause but make men more comfortable when flying????? There were a large number of these brilliant claims but I will leave you to find them out for yourselves.

The food was great and according to El a very traditional meze but more healthy than she would get in Cyprus which is definitely a bonus.

As well as the food my favorite part was the price. It is very good value for exceptional food and a large amount of it too! So if you fancy a Greek evening, vouched for by a true Greek, then this is a great place to go!
