Food is a huge part of Greek culture. It has to do with much more than just flavours and dishes. It has to do with the excellent ingredients, the lengthy procedure involved in preparing the food, and the culture of sharing dishes with others. Essentially, it has to do with bonding with others through one of life’s greatest pleasures. At Mylos, we encourage our guests to dive into our shared plate menu philosophy because the actual sharing of food connects couples and groups alike. When food is passed around or back and forth, it provides everyone with the opportunity for real conversation and a chance to taste everything our restaurant has to offer. Here are our reasons why we think shared plate dining is better than the traditional dining experience. Indulgent and slow paced: A traditional three-course meal is very linear and organized, consisting of appetizers followed by an entree, then dessert. The service style of small plates is much different, mixing and matching food selections, unique to the customer’s taste. Instead of feeling overwhelmed with an individualized meal, small plates give everyone a chance to try something new. Creates Togethernes: The actual passing around of food creates a real social environment, evoking conversation between family and friends versus everyone’s head down in their phones. Shared plate dining provides an experience and a non-committal atmosphere. With every small plate, a story follows, and you never have to be locked into a single entree again.

Enjoy!
