Fitzrovia, Greek Restaurant Guide

“Fun, vibey atmosphere and slick service” are key to the success of this upscale Greek outfit in Fitzrovia (with sister venues in Mykonos and Riyadh), which gets “loud” at busy times – perhaps “too loud”. Owned by Peter Waney, brother of Arjun (Zuma, Roka), it’s “not cheap, but the food is better than you’d think” – “fresh, light and modern”, with “imaginative twists on every dish”.

“Interesting Cretan regional dishes, enthusiastic waiting staff and a good vibe” are the salient features of this Fitzrovia two-year-old, named after the island’s 1905 revolution and claiming to be the first Cretan restaurant outside Greece. There’s also a “fairly priced” list of Cretan wines, many of them natural.
