Boston Greek | The new store is even better than Krasi

🍢 Bar Vlaha: Boston’s Hottest New Greek Spot—Better Than Krasi (Yes, Really) When it opened in March, reservations were impossible. Now, it’s easier—snagged a weekend dinner spot with a week’s notice (pro tip: email if online booking’s full). Worth the hype? Absolutely. More diverse than Krasi, with a richer menu and drinks list—this one’s a keeper. 🍄 Must-Order Dishes Manitaria ($16): 🦄 The star. Fried mushrooms with a thin, crispy batter—light, not greasy. Served with a tangy, slightly acidic sauce that cuts through richness. Everyone raves about it, and for good reason. Order this first. Karavides ($26): 🦐 Crawfish orzo pasta. Tomato-based, loaded with tender crawfish, and the orzo soaks up every drop of sauce. A touch salty, but packed with flavor. Krasi has a lamb version that’s more bold, but this holds its own—especially if you haven’t tried Krasi. Gianniotiko ($10): 🍯 Classic baklava with olive oil ice cream. The baklava is soaked in honey—sweet, nutty, and decadent. The ice cream? A genius pairing: mild, not sweet, with no overpowering olive oil taste. Balances the dessert perfectly. 🐑 The Rest Paidakia (Half) ($34): 🐑 Four grilled lamb chops, tender with minimal gaminess. Seasoning is light (could use a pinch more salt), but pickled onions add a zing. Tasty, but not life-changing—skip if you’re full. 🍹 Drinks to Savor Freaky Greeky Tiki ($18): 🍹 A grown-up cocktail with tsipouro (Greek brandy-like spirit)—hard to find elsewhere. No cloying fruitiness; flavors meld smoothly, with depth and a subtle kick. Their wine list is extensive too—plenty to explore. ✨ The Vibe Stylish decor, beautiful tableware, and a warm, lively atmosphere. Perfect for groups or dates. Price: ~$60 per person (with drinks). Fair for the quality and portion sizes. Bar Vlaha isn’t just “good for Greek food”—it’s good, full stop. Already planning a return. 📍 Bar Vlaha 1653 Beacon St, Brookline, MA 02445 #BostonGreekFood #NewRestaurants #FoodieFinds
