Sydney: Greek Feast At Perama, Petersham

The famous pork belly baklava is simply genius: “layers of flaky filo pastry, pork belly meat, date and pistachios, topped with crispy crackling and served with a date and mastic sauce”. This is a work of art.

“Braised calamari stuffed with jasmine rice, currant, flaked almonds, mint, prawns. Served with tomato, honey,cinnamon sauce and steamed greens” – I loved the hint of cinnamon and the calamari was just so tender.

Vegetarian pastitsio: “Layer of pasta, spiced and herbed eggplant and lentils and topped with a bechamel sauce. Served with a side salad of sliced fennel, baby spinach and walnuts” – The bechamel sauce was sweet and creamy. I think this was a great vegetarian dish.

And the caramel baklava ice cream with bougatsa… Another genious combination of a traditional Greek dish with a twist.

I really enjoyed dining here and would happily go back any time for more.
