| Anyone have any really good authentic Greek leads in NoVa? Ideally Alexandria/Springfield area, but will travel... |
This is the question I've asked many Greek friends throughout the years. The answer I get is that none of the restaurants meet Greek standards.
I've had many good meals at Vaso's Kitchen in Alexandria, though. She has a sister that owns another restaurant on King St called Taverna Creketou. Taverna has a great patio area and good service but the food is not as good as Vaso's. |

Also, I've heard really great things about Nostos in Vienna. I haven't eaten there yet but it's supposed to be excellent.

| I like Greek Taverna in McLean. |
| Plaka Grill in Vienna has excellent food, but it's very casual. They also offer decent and affordable Greek wines. |
+1 -- Nostos is really good. Disclaimer: I'm not greek. |
+1 Their Frappe is just like I had in Greece! |

Amphora Diner and Bakery are good. I don't know about best and not only Greek, but solidly good.

Might be too far out for you, but Katerinas in Old Town Manassas is very good. I studied in Greece in college so I know Greek food.
http://katerinasgreekcuisine.com/ Since it's far from where you live, it might be fun to incorporate it with a trip to the Manassas battlefields or something. Keep in mind they are closed for a couple weeks in August. |
