Prawn and squid skewers. So good I temporarily forgot I used to be allergic to squid and threw caution to the wind by dousing my prawns in the delicious squid ink. I’m happy to report I was just fine! Salt baked sea bass The flesh you get after removing all the salt Lamb cutlets . Extraordinarily crispy and tasty I can never say no to spanakopita. This was a tad too “innovative” (non-conventional) for meSlightly underwhelming and bland lahanodolmades, which is slow cooked stuffed cabbage rolls with finely chopped seabass and crab meat, rice, freshly chopped herbs & creamy egg lemon sauceThe halloumi salad is a must-have. Our party of 4 was practically fighting over the last scraps of this dish Taramosalata (my all time fave), tzatziki and tyrokafteri Pita bread. Simple and absolutely heavenly Greek olives. Enough said The Alati signature bougatsa. My hubby goes, “I’m not even a dessert person. But this is just incredible. Probably my favourite bit of the entire meal!”Loved the 3 bottles of red wine we shared (look, who’s counting) but this rosé was something else. So delightfully refreshing
So first things first. In my opinion, the other contender for the title of “Best Greek restaurant in Singapore” is Fotia.
Now to Alati. It was a friend’s belated birthday celebration that just so happened to fall on the final night that we were allowed to dine out, before the enhanced COVID restrictions kicked in. So we were absolutely determined to have a good time – one last night of extravagance and soaking in all the good food, drink, company and ambience.
Such phenomenal food! It’s difficult to pick favourites when so many dishes stood out for me. While I personally found Fotia’s spanakopita and taramosalata to be better than Alati’s, the latter’s meat and fish dishes more than made up for this. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable evening comprising divine, authentic Greek food.
