Other forms: tavernas
A small, casual Greek restaurant is called a taverna. You can order things including stuffed grape leaves and Greek salad with feta at a taverna.
If you've never tried Greek food, you'll find many unfamiliar (but delicious) items on a taverna's menu, including moussaka, tzatziki, and souvlaki. In Greece, a traditional taverna is the ideal place to try fresh, local foods like fried squid and fish, not to mention homemade baklava for dessert. The word taverna comes from the Latin taberna, "shop, inn, or tavern."
