Dinner At P-Box Athens

I said in my introduction to this blog that Greek food is tasty, gutsy and healthy but not gourmet.
I stand corrected. Last night we ate at the Athenian Restaurant P-Box and had the most wonderful meal cooked by the Michelin starred chef Christoforos Peskias.
The food was truly sublime!
The menu is a mixture of greek dishes with a modern twist and Greek Asian fusion dishes.
We decided to choose dishes from the latter as we were curious.
Starters, smooth, smooth fava surrounded by delicate slices of octapus, the best taramasalata that we have ever tasted served with Won Ton crisps.Then the waiter arrived at the table with a very scary blow torch and proceed to smoke slices of salted mackerel at the table. This was served on a bed of shredded Korean radish with a subtle soy dressing. Then came salmon sashimi Greek style with a topping of crisp dakos crumbs. Next arrived seared fillet of beef that had been sliced wafer thin , with it was a side salad of chopped kos lettuce dill and spring onions. The beef had a delicious sauce , just not quite sure of the ingredients.
For main course we shared a perfectly cooked tuna steak which sat on a bed of aubergine that had a delicious lemony acidity that matched the oily fish perfectly,and a fillet of teryaki sea bass on a sauce of leeks and something else that was truly divine.
To round off the meal, chocolate mousse with a boule of strawberry ice cream.
This is seriously top notch cooking
Best of all the prices are sensible. We will be returning often.
