Excellent Greek Food at the Foot of the Dom Tower

I love Utrecht.

To me it always feels vibrant with lots of quaint shops along the Oude Gracht and of course the Dom keeping watch over the city centre.

There are many restaurants and take out places in the city and we are slowly working our way through them all. On Saturday we joined Lisl at the Zelfgemaakte Markt at the Mariaplaats to look at the stalls and to get a feel for what I would need to do if I got selected for the August market.

Afterwards we walked up the road towards the Dom Church and stopped at the best Greek take away food in town. It is a little place called Dimitri Petit / Mikro Sirtaki in Servetstraat. Across the road from them is their main restaurant, Sirtaki, where you can sit and enjoy your food with a glass of wine if you are not in a hurry.

We ordered quite a feast for ourselves, giros, pita's, salads and a spinach pastry. Delicious.
The servings are generous and the quality of the food is really good.
They also have a lot of vegetarian options.

So, if you ever find yourself near the Dom and you're feeling hungry then look no further for some delicious Greek food.

Greek Salad

There are few things as wonderful as having a real Greek salad for lunch.
Ripe tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives and a big slab of Feta cheese.
Drizzle lots of extra virgin olive oil on top, a dash of vinegar and the salad is ready.

During the last two weeks in Crete I can admit to eating a Greek salad every second day. I am not ashamed to say that it was deliciously decadent. I ordered it in restaurants, road side cafes and even at a snack bar in the middle of nowhere which had the most amazing view.

The best thing about a Greek salad is its simplicity. It is the easiest thing in the world to make and you can have it for lunch or dinner. Go for it, buy some feta cheese and make a salad today.
