O Platonas Greek Taverna is a neighbourhood restaurant at 10 Hampden Square in north London. Its relaxed dining room, warm hospitality and programme of live music nights recreate the sociable spirit of a Greek taverna for couples, families and groups.
Meze encourages the table to share several flavours, with dips, salads, cheese, vegetables and grilled or fried starters arriving in a leisurely sequence. These smaller dishes can begin a meal or form the centre of the experience when ordered together.
Larger plates draw on Greek home cooking and charcoal grilling, with meat, fish and vegetable choices accompanied by herbs, olive oil, lemon and familiar Mediterranean sides. Traditional sweets and Greek drinks provide an appropriate finish.
Tables can be reserved directly, and weekend services extend from lunch into the evening. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should discuss the latest menu with staff, particularly where dairy, wheat, nuts or shared grill preparation may be involved.
Address: 10 Hampden Square, London N14 5JR, England
