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