Agree with your choices as we have tried the same places, Many hidden foody treasures to be found both in the center of Athens and the suburbs. Presently on a quest to discover more. Great video! Great presentation! Keep up the good work.
Yes ! The famous Kosta Souvlaki ! There it is 😍😍😍
Not really because the food was different from each other, the name might be the same but not the product.
Wtf this is lokma and döner
Spanakopita is normally made with dough in rural areas. In my island the women making it always use actual dough. In the city they are too lazy and make it with filo dough because its too easy.
3 things I wanna point out:
1. Spanakopita's filling and flavor usually depend on the origin of the maker. Greece may be a generally small country, but its regions are vast and the traditions quite endless. I am greek and sometimes i am amazed as to how different each part of greek cuisine can be. In my house, my mother always makes her spanakopita with loads of greek feta, in other parts of Greece they don't use feta at all.
2. Gyros is a big thing in Greece, and it is almost always a hit or miss, especially in Athens. The old timely, traditional gyros is made with just a few ingredients and sometimes no sauce, whereas the new version has always tzatziki sauce, french fries, with sometimes adding ketchup, mustard, mayo or even spice in the mix
3. Loukoumades is even harder to explain. Each house, if traditionally makes this sweet, has its own way of serving it. I, for example, love it with honey and walnuts, but i enjoy the occasional white chocolate on top. It has endless possibilities and i am sure some people started making the savory version of this. You just can't go wrong with loukoumades hahahaha.
Thank you for coming to my TED TALK. Stay safe and enjoy Greece.!
she is right
@@xasapis7204 i guess i am? hahaha thank u
If you try spanakopita from most towns or villages of mesogeia, it has some cinnamon in the mix, whether it's the regular version or the one without phyllo, called moussounta.
@@Nscizor I have never seen this version of spanakopita, it sounds pretty interesting to be honest.
@@elfhchan With cinnamon? You just sprinkle some ground cinnamon into the spinnach filling and it makes more of a krasomezes (wine appetizer I guess?).
If you mean the version without phyllo (mousounta), here's a recipe pretty close to how we'd make at home www.foodcollection.gr/mousounta/
I lovo greece 😍😍😍😍from spain 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Love you bro
I love Spain! from Greece GR :) :)
Omar Haddach I have some videos about Greece and Greek food on my channel if you want to check it out🙌🏻❤️

@Dimitra Kupraiou thank you and love you bro
It's arab country not european. Do they look like european to you?
Souvlaki and gyros are the reason that Macdonald's failed in Greece! It's definitely healthy and tasty and cheap!!!!!!!!!
Healthy? ΑΧΑΑΧΑΑΧΑΧΑ ΓΕΛΑΩΩ
@@mascho111 Of course it is healthy you are Greek and don't know that?????????
Nope. It failed because of goodys
@@kon_the_bossp989 The popular opinion says that Greeks prefer souvlaki and gyros the most after comes pizza and burgers
and copy from Turkish döner kebab. u guys just change Turkish foods name like adding - i example: Turkish food cacık even the word Turkish but u guys add -i and become cacıki and caling this food belong to you :D another example yogurt even u guys not add -i even the word is Turkish and its Turkish food but u guys saying its greek :D baklava another story baklava is Turkish word and baklava belong to Turkish food. so there ton of example but u guys already know it. full copy of Turkish foods
Greece is so beautiful and that food looks absolutely amazing!!!!! 😍
We hear the islands are even more beautiful!
ジェシカ Jessica Greek food is really delicious😍 I recently made videos about Greece as well if you want to check them out 🙌🏻❤️
@@LukeMartin just wait till u see the colours of the sea
Can't wait to go again in Greece lovely people and food.
they just change Turkish foods name like adding - i example: Turkish food cacık even the word Turkish but u guys add -i and become cacıki and caling this food belong to you :D another example yogurt even u guys not add -i even the word is Turkish and its Turkish food but u guys saying its greek :D baklava another story Turkish world and baklava belong to Turkish food. so there ton of example but u guys already know it. full copy of Turkish foods so if u wanna real food from orjinal place visit Turkey much cheaper than greece and have more place to see.
@@kayacenk4164e word is Etymolgically Persian Farsi actually!!!
Lokum is an ARABIC word, NOT turkish !!!
These foods are documented for Millenia. Greeks even had Yogurt called Oxygala since Antiquity!!!
Traditional Greek Gyro is PORK meat which arab influenced muslim turks cannot eat of course!
turks have stolen every single Cultural & Culinary tradition from Hellenic Anatolia & the Middle East. You can easily see that because they used Arabic Script & now use Latin Script! The Biggest confused bunch that has been told Propaganda for many generations….but we are here to destroy their Propaganda once & for all !!!!
Also, they have Seafood dishes like: Kalamar, Garides, Midye, Istridye, and hundreds of others, with ALL GREEK NAMES !!! But they won’t mention those, they like to mention the ARABIC & FARSI names ones which aren’t even turkish or turkic to begin with, different language, despite their stealing !!!
There are Thousands of Examples, & once someone digs into it, you quickly realize who the FRAUD thieves really are! Thats why the Whole Med & Middle East Arabs & Persians laugh at them constantly…they are a JOKE 😂
You will always be an EMPTY nation, and we will always be here yo EXPOSE YOU for the Frauds that you are !!! 🦃🎯👍🏻
PS…I wont even mention their Copy Paste of Byzantine Greek Dome Architecture, and their 10,000+ Greek words in their dirt Poor Language! 😃
@@kayacenk4164 maybe you change the names....
Μπράβο παιδιά ευχαριστούμε φιλιά απο Ελλάδα 👍
Personally, when it comes to greek pie, I prefer the "strifti" pita because the fyllo is so much tastier in my opinion. You can literally add any filling and it'll taste amazing because the fyllo is just so good! I could literally eat strifti tyropita everyday
Greek food is dope! The best European cuisine if you ask me. Also because im a meat eater so im really happy stepping into a Greek Restaurant.
The Lukamades was it? I believe that the new, without a doubt be very tasty, probably is very different from what it actually should be. I’d like to try both some day.
You definitely got to try it all!
Greece love you from uae
Oh my goodness everything looks so yummy!!
Is anyone craving for a Loukoumades after watching Luke and Sabrina video like me?
I believe you'll try this food someday. Remember me when you do :)
The second version sounds absolutely decadent 😃.
The real winner: the 3 old men singing
Yes those guys are great. We saw them in Athens in 2017 and we were so happy to find them again!
Hello and greetings from London, Ontario! You guys are awesome! Love your videos. I'm of Greek decent and I remember my times in Greece with family. You are making me so hungry! Enjoy your travels in Greece and safe travels back to Canada. Γειά σας Παιδιά! 🇨🇦🇬🇷
Ναι αλλά όταν πήγα στο Harvey's για poutine μου είπαν...sorry we dont take US dollars...I'm like what???
They take them anywhere in Quebec wtf???😂
And i was hungry dude!!😂
Traditional loukomades all the way. I'm missing my Greek fix this year after having to cancel and watching this series is killing me. Still gonna watch it though. 😁
Traditional loukomades? lol its Turkish food Lokum even the word turkish they just making bad copy from Turkish foods and they adding something to name. like Lokum, sarma, cacık, köfte, baklava etc.etc. all of them Turkish foods even their name. they call loukomades , cacık -i , etc.etc. Lokum is Turkish food and called by Turkish delight in the world.

I love Greece and Greek food🌟
Greetings from Greece
Love how the loukoumades at Ktistakis are topped with sesame seeds too. They look great!
Food and Footprints- Greg and Jumi Greek food is really delicious😍 I recently made videos about Greece as well if you want to check them out 🙌🏻❤️
Ktistakis the best . Stavros
@@stalopix We will try it next time we are in Athens!
I like your videos, good video quality, very straightforward and down to earth comments about your food experience. Very original presentations without faking your enjoyment of the food. I also like that you cover mediterranean food/countries.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed! Stay tuned for the next episodes coming soon
A nice sing song between each meal and an afternoon nap, now that's doin it greek style, haha. ARISTON FOR LUNCH and NEW LOUKOUMATHES for dessert, oohh yeahhh. Thankyou Luke & Sabrina
Thank you very much!
I really like this showdown concept- keep it up guys
Ariston has very good Spanakopita for sure. It was my go to place for this traditional pie. For a nice sit down meal for Souvlaki, try out Bairaktaris in Monastiraki. Pre-covid19 days, it was vibrant to sit along its sidewalk for dinner, with Bouzouki live music.
Nicely done guys, always worth watching 👀, never disappoint, stay healthy and safe my friends 😷😷
Hey Luke and Sabrina how are two doing. Your street food tours are always awesome. Mouth watering foods
Awesome!!! You are so close to a million subscribers 🧡😆😷
Great video as always..cool concept in these head to head.. ;)
I moved to edinburgh three days ago and I already miss my country
Souvlaki from Zinonos road is special.I lived in Athens for about four years, and I ate them every day and never had enough 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I gotta give you guys credit for being honest, when your not satisfied. Sometimes when something is over hyped, it really is.
Wow almost 1 million subs. Congrats Luke. You're doing a great job. 👏👍
Athens the great city of the world! Hello everyone from California! Thanks for the wonderful excursion!
You guys are awesome!!
Great video bro love all your travel videos and the food review 🙏🙏👍😍
Wan Anas Mikail Greek food is really delicious😍 I recently made videos about Greece as well if you want to check them out 🙌🏻❤️

The smile on Sabrina's face after taking a bite says it all!
Oh yeah!!! Facial expressions don't lie!
Yeah gotta love being a fatass
Eric W so rude

Great food choices to try. Love the Greek pie.
Thank you dear. Incredible enjoy yours today episode 👍😊
We hope to like our country!! It is so special for us that you make travels in so difficult situations. Keep going!!❤
I can read Greek: "Alexandra Stamoule."
Bam!
Greece is such a beautiful and underrated European country!
Those Loukoumades look amaaaazinnng. Cant wait to try one day. Might literally die from my arteries clogging up though.
It's worth it hahaha! Thanks Jess :)

Im glad that u came back to greece
Agree all the way- Ariston, Lukumades and Kostas all the way. Been to all the places you featured in this video numerous times. That said, i do prefer the traditional style of honey, cinnamon and nuts which they also serve at Lukumades.
Μαμ and Αριστον !!! You were really very well informed mates,I m impressed indeed.
Just to the point with souvlaki and loukoumades, althought i absolutely prefer Mam s pies in general! You should try the cheese pie with feta!
Great video!!!!
ariston is my favorite pie place! i could eat everything! next time try on the shrimp pie and the mushroom pie!
it is true some many different tastes all well baked with fine ingridients. Stavros
Awesome channel with great informations!!!
I just ate dinner but I'm getting hungry again just watching this
coolasianbro Greek food is really delicious😍 I recently made videos about Greece as well if you want to check them out 🙌🏻❤️
Welcome back guys 💙
OH MY GOSH SABRINA!!!🌷SEEING THAT YUmmy sandwich first thing in the morning made me so hungry!! another great video with great food can't wait for the next one !!! 😋😋😋😋😋
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. The food was so delicious!
Margaret Kaufman Greek food is really delicious😍 I recently made videos about Greece as well if you want to check them out 🙌🏻❤️
First glimpse of Loukoumades and I was like this is Gulab Jamuns sibling. I would have liked if Luke managed to sample all the sauces available for the 2nd shop.
you got me craving spanakopita!!!!!! so so good!!!! can't wait to see more of this adventure from you two
The spanakopita is one of the world's greatest foods for sure! Thanks so much Tiffany!
I loved the music!
Love u guys from Algeria ❤️❤️😍🇩🇿
*And yet another excellent food/tour, Luke you look much better without the stash!* 😷👍🏻
As a Greek who has been living in the UK for the last 3 years, I really enjoyed that video. It just made my mouth watery. Missed this Greek unique food so much as I didn’t visit Greece this summer.
Dear friend, living in England you will miss great greek food. But if you cook yourself you can find great fresh fishes meat, vegetables. It true that english good restaurants are expensive. I found some carvery meat restaurants in great quality oven baked meat. kind regards Stavros.
Love your videos! If you're still in Athens, you should absolutely try tzitzikas kai mermigas, near syntagma square. My favorite restaurant when I visited Greece!
Yes, definitely! My favourite restaurant along Mitropolios
It's a good restaurant, that's true. You can find better ones though! 😊. Thanks for loving my country! ❤️
@@user-nc4pf6vh6i Greece is incredible! And as historic and beautiful as it was, the culture and friendliness of it's people was what I remember most. I research when I have free time, and plan to return someday. What other restaurants would you recommend?
The loukoumades filled with chocolate and pistacio cream on top is an amazing food. It is SO SWEET though, i only go for it if i haven't had a sweet for a while because after you eat them, you won't even be able to think about sweets for 2-3 days.
I love this video!
You are great, guys! Congrats!
Oh man everything looked so delicious, enjoy the rest of your trip 🤙🏾
Thanks so much!
You have got new subscriber from Indonesia 🇲🇨
I love Indonesian food! :)
Lovely video. Thanks.
Perfect video💖❤💖
