Delfos

Frommer's Review

Located right in the heart of town, this is one of Madrid's smartest Greek eating spots, offering the full gamut of Hellenic fare and then some. The atmosphere is friendly and the taberna-style decor gets you in the right mood to enjoy the food. Pikalia megali is the ideal full-bodied appetizer, combining many familiar Greek tidbits on a single platter including taramasalata, tzatziki, black olives, feta cheese, and dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). The Hellenes' favorite meat, lamb, scores highly here: Try the delicious Delfos version cooked with nuts and honey. Anise-flavored ouzo is the ideal aperitif to kick off with and for those who've acquired the taste, the tangy resinated white wine, retsina, accompanies the meal to perfection. Though it is deceptively quaffable, beware: In sufficient quantities it packs quite a kick.
