Authentic Greek Specialities

Not only do we offer traditional Italian cuisine, we also have a wonderful selection of authentic Greek specialities on our menu.
The Cretan diet is world renowned for its promotion of good health and longevity. You will find a selection of appetisers that feature vine leaves stuffed with rice and fresh herbs, Greek salad with wonderful Cretan tomatoes, fresh grilled locally grown vegetables and goat cheese.
A fantastic starter to share is our MIXED GREEK PLATE; a wonderful selection of traditional Cretan dips with Tirokafteri, a spicy creamed feta; Melitzansalata, mashed baked aubergine with fresh parsley, lemon juice and yogurt; Tzatziki, the famous cucumber and yogurt dip; Taramasalata, a tasty combination of caviar and yogurt; Skordalia, potato and garlic puree, and Gigas, the very traditional big beans with a fresh tomato sauce.

Youvetsi is an authentic Cretan recipe that many Greek restaurants now fail to offer. Chicken or beef is slowly cooked with fresh tomato and spices. A small pasta, very similar to rice, is added to the juices and the dish is baked in the oven. A tasty alternative to the Italian pasta on offer.

House wine

La Strada prides itself on its house wine. We believe that a house wine should match the quality of the food and we are proud to offer three delicious varieties to our customers.

Locally grown grapes from Crete are pressed and bottles exclusively for La Strada and our sister restaurant Gold. Aptly named Gold, we offer La Strada customers open carafe or bottles to accompany their meal.

Gold White, a favourite of staff and the owner after hours!!! This medium dry white has a light bouquet and a delicious fruity edge. Great with the fresh fish and seafood dishes we offer.

Gold Red, a medium bodied red with underlying berry tones and a hint of fruit suits most palettes and compliments the traditional Greek dishes of STIFADO and KLEFTIKO superbly.

Gold Rose, a delicious light and semi-dry, fruity summer rose that will please everyone.

Ask for a carafe, available in half litre and litre sizes, for optimum value and taste. YAMAS!
