Harden's says
Opened in Summer 2023, from the team behind nearby Opso, this contemporary Greek seafood specialist in Marylebone follows a no-waste "fin-to-gill" philosophy, with fish off-cuts, tails and bones either grilled or used to make stock. Expect some meat choices, and plenty of Greek wines.
Harden's survey result
Summary
This “fantastic ‘fin-to-gill’ fish restaurant” in Marylebone, from the Greek team behind nearby Opso, provides a “really interesting” experience. The main event is, say fans, “utterly astonishing: your party chooses a whole fish from the alluring ice display, and the entire fish is then used to prepare your meal – even the bones, used to make a delicious soup, and the head and collar, fiercely grilled to smoky crispness and served with a fabulous Greek salad”. It’s “v. pricey”, and “if the restaurant itself is a little austere, the resulting focus on the food is worth it!”
Summary
This yearling in Marylebone from the team behind nearby Opso provides an “amazing Greek fish experience” with a “great fin-to-gill ethos” – “choose one of the lovely fresh fish and it comes as a carpaccio, chargrilled head and gills (yes please!) and a fillet, again chargrilled”. In his February 2024 review, The Telegraph’s restaurant critic William Sitwell was smitten, hailing it as “a game-changer, offering some of the finest Greek food I have ever tasted”.
