Sweet and savoury dreams of walking the cobble-stoned streets of Athens while munching on a delicious Greek Koulouria may not be too far off. Instead of the bustling streets of Athens, insert the eclectic roads of Mowbray, Cape Town.
Nestled in the heart of this semi-quiet suburb is a delicious Greek bakery that’s sure to satisfy all of your sweet and savoury dreams. Along with an array of decadent desserts, this charming bakery has a sweet story too. The restaurant is named after Elli Parolis or Yiayia (grandmother in Greek), a formidable woman who loved cooking and sharing delicious meals around her yellow kitchen table. Yiayia’s Table is simply a beautiful homage to this incredible matriarch.
Yiayia’s energy is infused into every aspect of this bakery, especially the food. Grab a few of this bakery’s specialities, including their famed Koulouria. This ring-shaped bread is served either sweet or savoury but is sure to tickle your tastebuds either way.
Other delicious treats include their Kourabiedes (Greek shortbread), Bougatsa (custard pies) and spanakopita, all perfectly paired with their array of coffees, smoothies and fresh granitas – if this is what Greece is all about, count us in!
Delicious food and a sense of family are what makes this eatery so special. There’s no question that Yiayia’s Table is well worth the effort.
Make sure you check out a few of their delicious treats by having a look at their extensive menu.
