There are some (myself included) who believe that even the simplest of meals can become heavenly when you are happy and surrounded by the zesty, tempting aromas and robust flavors that are the hallmarks of classic Greek fare.
And after visiting the lively Greek Village in Carlsbad (next to John Haedrich's TipTop Meats), the fullness of your tummy may be the only thing that keeps you from clicking your heels and shouting “oopah” like a native. Talk about heavenly!
Traditional Greek foods such as grains, pasta and legumes are enriched by the pungent, earthy flavors of garlic, onion and eggplant, and by the essences of the olive oil, the freshest feta cheese and lemons. Greek cooking is tied to nature and to the seasons, so of course it reflects the simple environment of sun-earth-sea. The cuisine of Greece flourishes because of this quality.
Owners Kostas and Emilia Manassakis encourage you to enjoy some of the authentic dishes that their generous menu offers. Included are age-old favorites such as Patitsio and Moussaka, alongside an unexpectedly large selection of seafood dishes including Swordfish Souvlaki and the Fisherman's Plate (a selection of saut?ed mussels, shrimp, scallops, salmon, halibut cooked with bell peppers, tomatoes, onions and artichokes and topped with a wine/garlic sauce.)
The Greek Village, 6030 Paseo Del Norte, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and several nights a week the locals love to share the dance floor with a traditional band and accomplished bellydancers. For information, call (760) 603-9672. Enjoy!
