Greco π

Apart from the ever-popular Souvla and recently revamped Santorini (formerly Rick’s), Greek food, in comparison to other cuisines, is still rather under-represented in this city. There is, however, one Greek place that few people know about, yet it has been around longer than the others, and that is Greco Pi (as in π).

I must have walked past Greco Pi a number of times when visiting other restaurants in Brim 28, but never paid it much attention. It’s literally just a hole-in-the-wall takeaway joint, with a few tables and chairs to enjoy some al fresco dining (if, unlike on my visit, it is not raining). It is by no means a place to linger over a long meal; dishes come fast on paper plates and the turnaround time is quick, particularly during the lunch rush.

Greco Pi was opened by two Greek guys back in 2011. Although Chef Yiannis Alifragkis has since taken a step back from the kitchen, the food is still authentic, with most ingredients imported directly from Greece.
