Kafeneion to Steki - Greek Restaurant in Edinburgh

Kafeneion to Steki is a small Greek restaurant in Leith where the host and waitress are themselves Greek, a detail reviewers cite as proof of an authentic table. The menu is built for sharing, with guests ordering several dishes each: grilled octopus and fries, Greek salad and fried phyllo pastry stuffed with feta come up repeatedly.

With a 4.9 rating and mid-range pricing, it suits couples and small groups who want a long, unhurried meal, and it also works for a solo diner at lunch or dinner. Expect a warm, neighbourhood feel rather than a formal dining room.
