Not sure what to get? Here’s our top 10 Greek Mediterranean dishes you need to try:
Greece is situated along a stunning coastline, so naturally, seafood is a staple in the Greek diet. One of the top favorites among the locals is octopus. A leisure trip to Santorini, and you’ll surely find octopus in nearly every restaurant menu.
At The Black Olive, we serve grilled octopus tossed with fresh red onions and capers. Pair it with a nice glass of wine and you’re in for a relaxing night.
One of the most popular white meat fish in the world, the Red Snapper has a sweet and firm texture that can be cooked in a variety of ways.
At The Black Olive, we serve only fresh whole Red Snapper from the Gulf of Mexico. No need for fancy marinades or sauces for this silky fish, we cook it in the best and simplest way possible — grilled.
A fish native to the shores of Greece, the Whole Mediterranean Sea Bass is grilled to achieve that buttery flavor and firm texture.
Also known as Lavraki, the Mediterranean Sea Bass is low in oil content and loved for its distinct flavor that pairs well with our wine selection.
Craving for a hearty and flavorful soup? The Black Olive serves its distinct fish soup made from the legendary Rascas and flavored with saffron. We add chunks of Wild Rockfish for that bite that you’ll surely love.
A famous Greek street food, The Black Olive elevates fresh calamari by stuffing it with Manouri and fresh feta cheese before delicately grilling the squid for that tender and flavorful dish.
A local favorite at The Black Olive, the Wild Rockfish Fillet is served either grilled or sautéed in organic cornmeal depending on your liking.
