The Big Greek Dinner

It’s hard to say more than this. We went to dinner last night at a place called Socrates in Burlington, ON. It was great and here’s what we had from their menu.

I can’t write, speak or move at the moment, it was a bit too much. I brought home food in for the first time in years. I always finish, not this time. The photo was not our dinner, it’s a generic one.
The dinner was $19.99 per person!


Cyprus Traditional Meze It has been said that Cyprus is the perfect island where food is “ambrosia” and wine is “nectar” Mezedes a great way to get to know Cypriot cuisine. It offers a little taste of many traditional specialties, and takes the decision making out of your hands, for a very reasonable set price. A warning though must be attached to this culinary experience the quantity and variety of dishes is immense, a true assault on your taste buds.
