“the classic dish refined with fresh rhodian herbs..”

Gyro is of course the classic dish of greece. Here in our restaurant each serving of gyro is freshly grilled and flavored with fresh herbs. Sprinkled with sweet red onions, this results in a combination with a very delicate and mild heat.

In addition to our gyro we of course serve our homemade Tzatziki. This is one of the great kitchen secrets of the Smaragd. It is still made according to ancient recipes out of our family tradition. It´s made out of well hung yoghurt and rhodian herbs and spices. And of course with cucumber.., rhodian cucumber which still tastes like cucumber and not like water.

Additionally we serve fresh homemade fries. All together it’s a properly prepared taste experience.

Mixed starters

“Seven delicacies on a plate..”

Our mixed starters plate is a good offer for more than one person. In Greece it’s a tradition to eat in larger circles. Everybody in a group shares the food with all the others. This means all dishes are placed in the middle and everyone eats from the things he likes. Just like a little bit of everything. This creates the typical greek conviviality and brings joie de vivre to the table.

Our mixed starters of course include our homemade dolmades, warm Bourekia with cheese and Revithokeftedes, our balls made out of chickpeas. Additional to this we serve a mixture of our salads, including fresh aubergine salad, tarama salad, tuna salad and the traditional tzatziki. Everything for sure is homemade. On request we can serve the mixed starters purely vegetarian.

Tzatziki

“As I have always said in your Tzatziki you can see the quality of the cook..”

Everyone has eaten Tzatziki before and every second person has made it by himself. But to make a real authentic tzatziki is a lot of work and differs completely to industrial yogurt products. In the Smaragd you can experience the quality of the preparation of genuine traditional dishes. Only who really takes the trouble to prepare the most important supplement of the menu correctly and on his own, also appreciates the homemade, traditional cuisine.

Our Tzatziki is of course an old secret family recipe which is seasoned in the right dimensions with selected spices and herbs from the area. For sure our Tzatziki is traditionally prepared with fresh cucumbers out of well hung and not liquid yogurt. For all of this you need sereneness because nothing is as important as the final right consistency of the tasty side dish. As a result the taste will speak for itself.
