๐ฌ๐ง Is Gaia in Mayfair Worth the Hype? A Honest Review
Gaia has been the talk of London's Greek food scene last year ๐ดโyou couldn't scroll through foodie feeds without seeing those viral seabass carpaccio shots! ๐ Finally got to try it, and here's the real deal: ๐ Starters ๐ Complimentary dips with bread: The eggplant one tasted suspiciously like Chinese braised eggplantโdeliciously unexpected! ๐ ๐ Seabass carpaccio: Pretty but predictable. Three sauces (lemon, chili, truffle) didn't elevate it beyond "decent". ๐ธ Instagram > palate ๐ Watermelon salad: Summer on a plate! Sweet melon + creamy feta = refreshing combo. ๐ง Feta fans, rejoice! ๐ฆ Tomato prawns: Salt bomb alert! ๐จ Skip for the meatballs instead. ๐ Mains ๐ Seafood "pasta": More like sweet risotto disguised as pasta. Loved it, but sugar-haters beware! ๏ฟฝ ๐ Dessert ๐ฅ Yogurt with honey & walnuts: SHOWSTOPPER! Even yogurt skeptics (me) devoured it. The warm cinnamon donut pairing? Pure genius. ๐ฅ Order this or regret forever. ๐ Gaia Mayfair 50 Dover St, London W1S 4NY (Green Park station, perfect for post-meal royal garden strolls) ๐ก Pro tip: Book ahead! Their daily seafood specials (see pic 11) look worth returning forโmaybe the grilled fish next time? ๐ฃ #LondonEats #GreekFoodLondon #MayfairDining #FoodReview #HiddenGems #WeekendBrunch
