Welcome 2018 with this amazing greek cuisine dining in Singapore! The restaurant is decorated prettily and well lit and captured my attention as it is blue and white for the interior design! Well, what blue and white mean to you? It means Greece for me! Since Greece is still a bit far from grip now, let me have a sweet appetizer first before I meet you in person! I will be there and I promise it, Greece, one of the top country that I would like to travel to! 💓💓
I ran across this restaurant during my visit to Tiong Bahru for crab delicacies! Do visit my blog here for the crab delicacies. So I was aiming for crab dishes in Singapore back then that's why went to Tiong Bahru. If you have seen the post, you will know that I am craving for crab chinese delicacies that time and I have satisfied my hunger over there! While I walk around the vicinity of the No.3 Crab Delicacy restaurant, I came across this Greek restaurant called Bakalaki Greek Taverna. I told myself that I will come back to this restaurant in some days. Truly glad that we made it in one of the beautiful weekend of 2018! It has the feeling like dream comes true anyway, haha. So I was super excited that day, just like a small kid! 😁
This restaurant is opened from July 2017 and hence is a new restaurant. Thus, please remember to book this restaurant before hand or if you have forgotten to do so, do walk in early. Like us, we walked in around 6pm and not long after the restaurant already full house. Strongly recommend folks to book here, especially if you have big parties for meals that day! We were welcomed by the handsome Greece boss, which I believe is the owner of this restaurant. Then were then welcomed to be seated in the bar area as the big tables are all fully reserved or seated. There are many waiter and waitress in this restaurant and the bartenders are also fully trained. They are professional by the way they shaked and prepared the drinks for you! And they are friendly too!
So when you are blown away with the interior design of the restaurant, you will be blown away with a great varieties of food choices too when you take a look at the menu. And, so do the price.. It is above average and in our opinion, is more to expensive ranking. However, Bakalaki has secured Tripadvisor rating as no.2 here! It is rated as no. 2 restaurant among a total of 9686 restaurants in Singapore during the time we visited in January 2018! The interior design of the restaurant also costs more than million dollars as it is specially designed and well detailed!
What we have for the dinner over here? We ordered fetasaganaki cheese as appetizer/ dessert, grilled prawn and chicken with pita breads as main course, and lastly Greek yogurt as dessert! Oh can't forget also we will get complimentary breads while waiting for our foods to arrive, so you won't be so hungry, nice and warm touch! See below for foods photos.
 |
| Complimentary breads! The breads here is baked hard and crunchy, with sea salts on top and sprinkled with herbs. |
 |
| Fetasaganaki cheese. You can see the texture inside is very dense and it is very very cheesy till it smells a bit goat at the end? Personally we not really know to admire this dish, but the honey and sesame are nice thou. |
 |
| Grilled prawn with assorted vegetables. You can only one grilled prawn here plus one slice of lemon for you to squeeze lemon juice on top. You will get a plate of carrots, potatoes and cucumbers as vegetables as well. The portion is small, however the grilled prawn is quite nice, or maybe it is because too little? 😂 |
 |
| Chicken with pita breads and french fries, together with lemon and tartar juice. The portion is better. Pita breads are like pizza hard tossed skin and you can eat it together with the grilled chicken. Taste wise is not bad as well. |
 |
| Greek yogurt as a nice finishing touch to this Greek cuisine! It has the same type of honey used with fetasaganaki cheese. You can find walnuts here as well! The yogurt is quite nice when mixed with the thick honey as well. Personally we prefer this over fetasaganaki dish. |

Visit here for a try on Meditteranean Greek cuisine in Singapore! It is certainly an unforgettable dining experience. This restaurant is prettily decorated and ambience is good for family, friends and lovers out there! Certainly, it is quite romantic however because it is heavily packed with diners and quite noisy, hence the romantic feeling is a bit gone. However, you get yourselves nice Greece musics and songs played inside the restaurant and temporarily immerse yourselves in Greece feeling and certainly it is insta-worthy as it boasts a super high ranking in Tripadvisor as well! Recommend to visit here to try out the dish and just enjoy the environment together with your loves one!
