| - Before rock-climbing nearby, we stopped by the Pantheon to have a quick fuel up. Couldn't decide between a bunch of the appetizers on the menu so the logical choice was to go with the appetizer platter! With that you get grilled calamari, grilled octopus, spanakotyropita, grilled sausage, and dolmades.
We were the only table in the restaurant at the time and the complimentary basket of uninspiring bread with whipped butter packets and water tided us over while waiting for our food. We pondered over what seemed like a long time to get an appetizer platter. Happy to say that the wait was definitely worth it, as the food came out freshly grilled, spankotyropita had an excellent crunch to the phyllo pastry surrounding a smooth spinach and cheese filling. The flavour of the sausage surprised me, but in a good way. Just wasn't expecting that kind of flavour from it, but it was yummy. The grilled squid and octopus were really well done, with no chewiness indicating overcooking. I usually won't even touch octopus when it comes to sushi after having some bad experiences, but I chowed down almost an entire tentacle serving here!
I would come back here again just for this appetizer platter.
