The donation represented 10% of net proceeds from GreekFest, which every June draws scores of patrons for pork shish-kebabs, pastitsio,
saganaki, cheese puffs, loukoumades and more.
Delicacies such as shrimps,
saganaki, veal emincee station, salmorejo, dried beef station with egg and salmon couillibiac are sure to appeal.
You'll be treated to lovingly-prepared traditional staples like
saganaki (a cheese appetizer), avgolemono (a lemon-infused chicken soup) and huge plates of baklava.
The prawn
saganaki is also served with potato, rice and vegetables the aroma of garlic and tomato emanating from the plate is tantalising.
The hot appetizers rolled in later -- grilled octopus, prawns
saganaki, and grilled Cypriot halloumi.
To give it its proper name, the Feta
Saganaki (PS5.90) was an absolute taste sensation.
After much deliberation, we chose the halloumi fries (PS5), the tiger prawns cooked in an ouzo tomato sauce with crumbled feta on top (
saganaki garides - PS6.90) and spinach and feta croquettes with a lemon and dill yoghurt dip (spanakokroketes - PS5.50).
Sides like haloumi and
saganaki cheeses are on offer, while the desserts include cheesecake and a Greek yoghurt dish.
On the eastern side of the harbour is the quirky and quaint Bakaliko, (The Grocery Store) which serves fresh fish, sumptuous
saganaki (fried feta with honey) and fava (split pea puree).

I'd sit at a restaurant on the water's edge with a plate of shrimp
saganaki, then enjoy a night of Greek music, wine and the company of friends.
