Greek food is all about fresh ingredients, exciting textures and the fusion of different flavours and colours. At Ammos in Weston-super-Mare you will experience all of the above in the most charming of settings. Exposed stone and wooden beams complement elegant furnishings in the dining area, while the bar is all about chunky rustic wood and comfy leather stools. The overall effect is one of relaxation – the perfect setting to indulge in the sunny flavours of ripened vegetables, fresh fish and other Grecian delights.
To start, choose from a selection of hot and cold dishes. Favourites include classic dips of hummus, tzatziki and taramasalata, while peppers stuffed with feta will have your mouth watering. Main courses range from moussaka and kleftiko to the Ammos special – chicken, pork and lamb cooked with peppers, onions and mushrooms in a red wine sauce. The monkfish served on a bed of sautéed spinach with a lemon butter sauce, topped with salmon keta (salmon eggs) is superb. And for those who simply cannot decide, the set meze options allow you to sample a little of everything. Dessert offers delicious options such as gallaktobouriko (vanilla milk pie with syrup).
If that wasn’t enough, there is also a fully-stocked cocktail bar, where in-house mixologists create the best holiday-inducing drinks this side of the Aegean.
