Greekosophy

We're very excited to announce that Greekosophy will be taking part in the first Crosby & Waterloo Food and Drink Festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend!! A weekend full of independent local traders and a variety of amazing food and drink...lets hope the weather is as lovely as it has been throughout the summer months!!

Three months ago the doors of our little cafe/deli opened. Last week Greekosophy reached No 1 on Tripadvisor's Liverpool restaurant list!!! No need to say how proud we are right now. We just wanted to thank each and everyone of you for your custom, kind words, feedback and support. Once we get our alcohol license we'll be able to invite you all and say 'Yammas!" properly :)

Liverpool’s first game of the season tomorrow and we’ll be there again, at the place where it all started a year ago!!! Find us on Walton Breck Road almost opposite The Twelfth Man pub for your pregame souvlaki!!!! :)

A great way to warm up for our Anfield return this Sunday!!! Attending the Blood Red event organised by the @liverpoolecho tonight at the @balticmarket ! LFC and souvlaki: a great combination!!!

It’s been a fabulous first week at our new pitch at the Baltic Market so if you haven’t been there yet shame on you!!! Our staff is enjoying working there so much, while surrounded by great music, happy crowds and fellow street food traders, that we’re struggling to persuade them to do shifts at our deli!!!!!

A traditional “apaki omellete” from the island of Crete - available as a special all day next week. “Apaki” is a delicious smoked pork cut from Crete, which makes an amazing omelette combined with feta cheese and oregano. We road tested it this morning and we approve 🤓👍

Three new additions to our range of Greek honeys, one of them organic and all three of them all the way from Crete.
"Organic Cretan Woodland honey with thyme and wild herbs" is an organic certified honey collected by the noblest herbs of the Cretan flora: savory, thyme, malotira (sideritis syriaca), ebenos (ebenus cretica) and other woodland plants. This honey is light in color, full bodied and of high nutritional value.
"Cretan honey from wild herbs and white thyme" has a d...elicious unique taste attributed to white thyme, a rare type of thyme that grows on the Cretan mountains at an altitude of 1.500 meters. The low atmospheric humidity and the warm and dry climatic conditions of the specific area give a unique aroma and a coherent texture to this type of honey.
"Cretan woodland honey with heather" is a thick, amber in colour honey, collected from the pine-tree woodlands, where wild heather flourishes. It is fragrant and floral with a very lingering after-taste that is almost bitter. It is considered to be highly nutritious, while being a natural energy boost.

History lesson time :)

Introducing a new salad in our menu, “Dakos & Greens”. It’s not a traditional Greek dish, but contains authentic Greek ingredients. It’s so refreshing that makes it a great one to try on a hot day. Cretan dakos (rusks), feta cheese, baby spinach, hazelnuts, with an olive oil, garlic, vinegar, petimezi vinaigrette. Suitable for vegans if you don’t have feta cheese with it. It was inspired from a recipe of our good friends at Oliveology with a few twists and turns by our chef :)

Feast your eyes on this Greek delicacy!!! The greens in the photo are called “Vlita”. Boiled and served with extra virgin olive oil and lemon, they are one of the tastier mezes you’ve ever tried. In a few days they’ll be on the menu as a special!!! A Greek and vegan heaven!!!

Did you know that apart from our main menu we also offer a three-course menu for just £10 per person? It's available Tuesdays to Fridays between 3pm and 9:30pm. This week we have some amazing home-made stuffed vine leaves, grilled vegan skewers and delicious grilled lamb chops (subject to availability).

Only a few days to go before the souvlakis and kebabs land at the Baltic Market!!!! "We should eat souvlaki, lucky, lucky, lucky!!!"

We can’t prove that Stock, Aitken and Waterman were eating souvlaki when they came up with this tune. But we’re sure it’s pretty close to the truth 😎

A further two additions to our deli this week, one of them being a Great Taste Awards 2 star winner. "Rizes Sweet Red Pepper Paste" is a handmade product of char-grilled sweet red pepper to which the addition of paprika powder and hot green pepper make for a particularly concentrated and slightly spicy paste. The extra virgin olive oil and the high degree of ingredient density, between 70% and 80%, make the paste special and brings out its taste and fragrance. Its ingredients... and preparation is based on traditional and family recipes from Florina and Pella. It is 100% natural and handmade without preservatives and industrially processed ingredients. It has exquisite texture and pure rich flavour of smoked pepper and an after-taste of paprika powder.
"Rizes Sweet Red Pepper and Tomato Paste" is handmade from an ideal combination of char-grilled sweet red pepper and tomato in extra virgin olive oil, wine and a hint of sugar. The paste texture is rich with an exquisite aroma of smoked pepper and the sweet taste of tomato.

Many customers have been asking us about the creamy looking cheese we stock at our deli. "Galomizithra" is a soft, white spreadable cheese from Crete. It is lightly salted, made based on a recipe from Chania. It obtains its acidity through a natural method, in strainer cloths - the “tsantila”. It's made from pasteurized sheep’s & goat's milk. In Crete, it is used in “bourekia”, little sweet or savoury pies, in kreatopites (meat pies) on dakos and other summer salads. You can also enjoy Galomizithra in Greek salads, in green salads or on bread topped with olive oil and herbs.

Two additions to our deli meat selection! The "Organic Cretan Sausages with Vinegar" - or "Xidato Loukaniko" - is made from pork meat, according to the EU regulation for organic products and follows the traditional recipe form the island of Crete. After seasoning the meat and form it into sausages, it is being smoked using olive wood and Cretan herbs such as sage, marjoram and thyme and added vinegar. The other arrival, "Apaki", is a traditional, local type of delicacy made from lean pork meat only, seasoned and cured, smoked with olive wood with local herbs such as sage, marjoram and thyme. The recipe is very old and found exclusively in the island of Crete.

Some fantastic hand-made additions to our range of Greek products for our deli have just arrived!!! "Koulourida" is a handmade pasta from the island of Chios, made in accordance with the regional traditional recipe of the island. "Papardeles" are very broad flat pasta noodles, similar to wide fettuccine. "Trahanas" is the traditional Greek favourite pasta for soups, although it has lately entered more gourmet territories in kitchens around the world. It is made by setting out the dough in patties to dry in hot weather and then rubbing the dough between the hands into small pieces, and leaving it again to dry for several days. "Xinohontros" is a traditional pasta from the island of Crete - a delicious mixture of ground wheat with goat's milk, dried under the Cretan sun.

We can no longer keep it a secret!!! We are delighted to announce that Greekosophy will be selling its delicious souvlakis, kebabs, courgette balls and much more at the Baltic Market from 26 July!!! Exciting times ahead!!!!

Another special Sunday event, this time full of grilled goodies such as Greek-style pork belly (panseta), vegetable skewers, Greek farmer's sausages (horiatika loukanika), lamb chops (arnisia paidakia), home made burger meat stuffed with cheese (gemisto bifteki) and giaourtlou (our home made kebab served on pita and topped with tomatoes, onions, chilli flakes and tomato sauce). You can enjoy each dish for £5 per portion or £19 for all six dishes. We also offer a three-course meal for £10 which includes two of the six dishes and dessert. As always, you can bring your own drink.

Highly recommended to Greeks and non Greeks. Next time you are visiting ask for the dish of the day to complete your order!!! Keep up the good service.
