About
As good as Norwegian food is, the foreign palate needs to take a break from time to time. This is the best of the Greek restaurants in Trondheim, and at least some of its business comes from Norwegians who remember their long-ago holidays in Greece with nostalgia. Set inside the cellar of a white-fronted masonry building across the river from the railway station, it has two dining rooms, each outfitted (in blue and white with lots of paneling) like a Greek tavern somewhere in the Peloponnesus. All the Greek favorites appear on the menu and are admirably prepared, including an especially tasty moussaka, curried shrimp, a meal-size portion of Greek salad, various kabobs, roasted lamb aromatically flavored with herbs, and, our favorite, pork souvlaki. All of these dishes might be preceded with a tantalizing assortment of mezes (small, bite-size dishes intended as starters).
