  • After (and even before) having watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 I had been craving so badly for a Spanakopita and similar Greek snacks and desserts. And I only thought of one place that I wanted to check out to kill this craving :-) I had passed by Acropolis a few times when I was exploring Greektown and I just knew it was a shop on the Danforth just few blocks away from Pape station and I could see all these tempting Greek pasteries being displayed inside. So imagine my delight when I did walk by and knew instantly this was place I had been planning to try. I will definitely give 5 stars for the hospitality of the folks who were there today. Very friendly and the older gentleman warmly greeted me and other customers who came in. I wasn't sure whether to sit down or stand at the counter to place an order so I did the latter. The easiest pick was the spanakopita and I also had a cafe latte to satisfy a strong craving for caffeine. So I got a seat at one of the tables while waiting for my order. This is probably the second time that I have tried a bakery-made Spanakopita (apart from the frozen kind at the grocery stores) so I'm not sure how it typically looks like. Acropolis' version is on the flatter side with just enough filling for one to taste but not bursting, but the filo casing was sure enough flaky and I just liked picking off bits of it with my finger to crunch on. The thinness of the pastry was suitable for a pre-lunch or tea-time snack since I wasn't really hungry when I was in the vicinity. My coffee was given a generous sprinkling of cinnamon and I could inhale a scent of it before taking a sip. And while I was there I also got two desserts: one was a Melomakarona walnut cookie soaked with a syrup of honey and sugar, and a Kourabiede almond cookie coated with a hefty dose of ice sugar. (Thanks wikipedia for helping me remember the names of these two treats). I just had a small bite of each and both are very tasty, and later one I'll be enjoying them with some mint tea. The kourabiede is certainly a delicate cookie because it did not survive getting jangled on the trip home on the subway, while the melomakarona is the more abuse-proof of the two. Alright, so I just finished eating both of them and I really like the melomakarona, the syrup gives it a slightly chewy texture. The kourabiede is hard to the bite and also brittle but the best part of it is the icing-sugar coated outer shell. Again, the hospitality was expressed before I left the little shop and I will return to try the other burek and desserts.
