Meze Panamá - Restaurante Griego — Restaurant in Bella Vista

Nice atmosphere but the food is nothing like it is in Greece. The appetizers were made earlier and brought from the refrigerator.

And yes, we had (in some cases,) close to authentic Greek food and with traditional flavours. This is not your deep fried joint. Be curious, be open mind and try other food that is mostly HEALTHY...
