Ergon is the new restaurant-come-deli from Greece, just off Oxford Street, at 16 Picton Place, planning to re-establish our love for Greek cuisine.
The menu, created by executive chef Dimitris Skarmoutsos (formally of French Laundry and a judge on Greek Masterchef) and chef de cuisine Dimitris Katrivesis (who honed his craft at El Bulli), has been meticulously crafted to offer diners authentic recipes with a twist. Gone are the typical village meze offerings and in their place contemporary and unique creations await customers.
These range from black tzatziki flavoured with squid ink to fava topped with truffle oil and caramelised onions – and that’s just for starters. For the main event, slow-cooked lamb that effortlessly melts off the bone and the fresh catch of the day succeed in treating taste buds with every bite. Signature dishes that have got customers in Greece talking include: Gruyere cheese rolled with oats and drizzled with syrup and fried egg with staka cream which makes the perfect dipping alternative.
With every dish made for sharing, the best way to immerse yourself in the delicious and moreish menu is to sample a host of plates, dips and sides (prices starting from £5) and drinks from homemade pink lemonade to wine sourced from Crete, Rhodes and Thessaloniki. Or a playful take on classic cocktails, a Tsipouro martini and Bloody Maria.
The London restaurant follows the huge popularity of the brand’s six outlets that have opened in Greece since 2011. The stripped-back décor of exposed light bulbs, white-painted brick walls and stainless steel features taps into an industrial chic aesthetic.
