Quick info
About El Greco
Set on Bellevue Terrace in Southsea, El Greco is a family-run Greek restaurant where the owner and chef cooks each dish to order. The menu leans on traditional Greek kitchen staples, from souvlaki and moussaka to slow-cooked lamb and fresh seafood plates. Walk-ins are taken throughout service without a booking, and the front-of-house staff work the small dining room in a relaxed, quiet manner. It sits a short walk from the seafront, and the same family has run the kitchen for years.

“We had a delicious meal here. We ordered some traditional Greek items from the menu and everything was just as we experienced on our recent holiday to Crete. It was quiet, so we were given great attention by the owner and the food was all cooked fresh by the chef. A very welcoming place to enjoy some Greek food. Highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to try Greek food or just be reminded of the delicious flavours of their holidays to Greece!”
