Meli is the Greek word for honey. 🍯

So honey had to find its way onto my menu. You will meet it in three places:

1. Feta cheese in filo pastry with honey pomegranate cream
2. Cheese balls with honey orange sauce
3. Greek yogurt with honey

The first two belong at the start of the meal: salty cheese next to something sweet. The third is the simplest way a Greek dinner can end.

Order one of each and tell me which one wins.

“Very welcoming people, delicious food made in-house. Family-friendly.”

Janett wrote this on Google in July, in German. The translation is Google's, the words are hers.

Three short lines and they describe what I try to do every single day: welcome you like a guest in my home, cook everything in my own kitchen, make families relax and enjoy the table. 🍯

Meli is rated 4.9 on Google by more than a thousand people. Read what they wrote, then come and see for yourself.

Some plates are better when nobody is in a hurry. Sunday evening is made for them. 🕯️

🍯 Beef meli: beef cooked slowly in Santorini w**e, with sundried tomatoes and mashed potatoes. Karol wrote on Google (translated from Polish) that it was "one of the best-prepared dishes I've had the pleasure of trying in Greece".

🍯 Stuffed vegetable: tomato and pepper, filled and baked, with potatoes.

🍯 Dolmades homemade, rolled and packed in the pot.

Tonight we open at 17:30.

A table for sixteen in a small restaurant in a narrow alley.

Phillip came with a group of sixteen this summer and wrote on Google:

"Went as a group of 16. Amazing food and drinks... Owners were amazing with the kids, entertaining them and giving us kid options for food."

Big families and groups of friends are welcome here, children included.

White tablecloths with a blue border. Blue chairs. A plate of Cretan dakos landing in the middle. 🌊

This is Meli on a Saturday. Small and bright, in the colours of the Aegean.

We are open today from 11:00 to 23:30. So lunch or dinner, the table looks just like this.

Walk down Platonos, find the alley and sit.

A rusk at the bottom. Tomato, soft white cheese and capers on top. A line of red sauce around the plate. 🫒

Cretan dakos, straight from my kitchen.

It comes from Crete and it was made for hot days: crunchy, fresh, a little salty. I plate it with some extra care because at my table the eyes eat first.

Order it at the start and share it. It opens the appetite for everything that comes after.

Travelling with someone who doesn't eat meat? 🫒

You don't need to find a second restaurant for the evening.

A guest called lucinda left this on Google:
"Friendly service, delicious food plus vegetarian menu for one of our group"

These are the plates I point people to when they tell me at the table:

🫒 Cretan dakos
🫒 Greek dip platter: tzatziki, humus, eggplant salad, spicy cheese dip, pita
🫒 Pitaroudia, falafel Rhodian style with yogurt sauce
🫒 Milfei, grilled vegetables and halloumi
🫒 meli salad with rocket, halloumi, walnuts and pomegranate

Tell me when you sit down and I will explain what is in every plate.

Ask Antonis 🕯️

"One of us is not drinking tonight. Is there something nicer than a soft drink?"

A fair question. Whoever is driving back to the hotel deserves a proper glass too.

Yes. Ask me for the Moonlight Special. It is the non alcoholic cocktail on my menu and it is there exactly for this moment.

Everyone at the table should have something nice to raise.

What would you like to ask me before your visit? Write it in the comments and I will answer. Tonight we open at 17:30.

This is what the dolmades look like before you ever see them. 🫒

One big pot. Vine leaves rolled tight and packed in circles from the edge all the way to the middle.

On my menu they are written as "Dolmades homemade". That word is there for a reason: they are made here, in my kitchen, in pots like this one.

Order them as a starter and put the plate in the middle of the table. It is a dish made for sharing.
