Greek food on Glasgow’s George Square

Located directly in the centre of Glasgow in the city’s George Square, Elia Greek Restaurant is a convenient dining option with many transport links.

The restaurant combines the warmth of a traditional Greek taverna with the stunning surroundings of a listed building overlooking Glasgow City Chambers.

Authentic Greek food

Owner George Leronymidis presides over Elia’s kitchen which creates Greek dishes made from Scottish produce. Specialities include Kleftiko slow cooked lamb on the bone in tomato sauce and Keftedes, traditional meatballs made with freshly ground beef seasoned with Greek herbs. The restaurant also offers an extensive Greek wine list which includes Agioritiko, a dry wine from a monastery in Mount Athos, and Metoxi which comes from the mountains of Halkidiki.

Elia also offers a range of meze dishes with include dolmathes (rice and herbs wrapped in grapevine leaves), tigania loukanika (spicy pork village sausages cooked with onions and mixed peppers) and naturally, many options including feta and haloumi cheese.

Elia’s focus on authenticity can be traced down to their choice of olive oil which is created from the family vineyards.
