Bread, olives & house oil
Warm bread, village olives, sea salt and enough oil to require another basket.
Old olive trees above us. A bottle of house oil on every table. Plates in the middle. Bread until there is no bread left.

Our food starts where many Greek meals start: with good oil. On warm bread, over tomatoes, through beans, across grilled vegetables and, sometimes, simply on a plate with salt.
“If the bread is good and the oil is better, dinner has already started.”
We cook simply and serve generously. Order a few plates, put everything in the middle and let the table decide what happens next.

Warm bread, village olives, sea salt and enough oil to require another basket.

Tomato, feta, tzatziki, local cheese, small fried bites and whatever came from the kitchen first.

Dips, dolmadakia, saganaki and seasonal small plates made for forks wandering across the table.
We don't rush the olives.
We don't rush dinner either.
Stin Elia began with a few tables, a family kitchen and the shade of an old olive tree. We kept all three.
There are no tasting menus here. There is food that belongs on a Greek table: vegetables that saw the sun, fish when it is good, herbs from nearby and olive oil that appears on almost everything.


Simple answers so you can spend less time planning and more time eating.

Please tell us before ordering. We can explain ingredients and advise which dishes may be suitable, though our kitchen handles common allergens.
Very. Children, shared plates and slightly longer dinners are all part of the atmosphere.
