Cape Greko (Malahide)

Cape Greko Malahide opened its doors in November 2004. Cape Greko is the first Greek & Cypriot restaurant to open in Malahide. With wonderful views of the marina and traditional Greek Cypriot cooking Cape Greko was an instant success. Our head chef, Demetris, carefully planned his menu taking influences from different regions in Greece and Cyprus and bringing them together for Irish people. Cape Greko is named after the beautiful Cape Greko peninsula in Cyprus. We have taken inspiration from this area and attempt to recreate the beauty and simplicity in our restaurants. Cape Greko’s logo is an amphora. Amphoræ are jars with narrow necks and two handles, used by ancient Greeks for transporting oil or wine.

We loved it from the starter to the dessert. Perfect quantities, you don't feel too full after finishing your meal. Great value for the price. We just found that the service a bit slow.

The restaurant has great view of malahide and inside it has lovely decor but it's quite noisy. One of the main reasons for going was the fact that it was a vegetarian restaurant as my friend is actually a vegan so she was quite happy with her order. I got the Lamb Souvlaki (Kebabs) - siimply gorgeous, but a bit expensive. The service was good considering they were really busy at the time. Recommended.

QB (Connoisseur) Credibility Score: 64%   Visited: 15 May 2010 | Posted: 2 Months ago We went to Cape Greko before and really enjoyed it, however, on Saturday nite the experience felt very rushed and the food was only ok. Our booking was at 6pm and we were told that we had to be out by 8pm which wouldn't have been a problem - but I came out at 7:45pm with indigestion. We picked from the early bird menu but all the items we choose were on the A La Carte menu too and I would have been very upset if I had to pay A La Carte prices for what we got. Based on this experience I would not return to this restaurant.

It was early evening of a bank holiday Monday so the restaurant wasn't full but nice turnover all the same. Decor is simple and the dining room is nice and bright. We opted for the early bird which was great value. Stuffed vine leaves for OH and hummus and pita bread for me. Both lovely...very large bowl of hummus and had to ask for extra side of pita. This starter could easily be shared between two if extra bread is ordered. I had mousaka for main which was very tasty but sadly too filling. Couldn't manage a desert but the menu looked nice with homemade specials being supplemented by standard pre-made frozen deserts as seen on menus across the country! I would definitely return in the future!

I love this restaurant. I was on Crete years ago and being young and fussy didnt care for the food but this is Greek Cypriot and everything is fresh (down to the Calamari). I cannot abide by restaurants who use frozen food - its just not good practice and you know by the taste of the food. Anyway 2 friends shared Meze Platter (a lot of food), one had the hummus plate and I had Calamari. All lovely. My friends all ordered Mousakka (but were full after their starters not too long after!). I had the Chicken Souvlaki (always delicious- I had the mixed with Lamb before but the lamb was a bit tough). I adore the tzatziki that comes with this. For afters there was some ice-cream and a few Bailey's coffees. The staff in here are just so nice and friendly and couldnt be more helpful. Sometimes it can be a little bit quiet in here which surprises me. This is what good service should always be like.

The service, atmosphere and food was excellent. The food has a real home cooked taste. We had the stuffed pepper boats. I had the shank of lamb and my girlfriend had the grilled chicken. The portions were also very generous. Got a free shot of Ouzo afterwards which went down very well :) Will certainly be back again.

Very welcoming staff, great service, fantastic food- what more can one ask for? We ate the haloumi salad and haloumi on pita bread- both were excellent. The garlic potatoes with the salad were really good,t he ingredients tasted fresh and the food was just really good. Well worth going to Malahide just to eat here. I am so glad I stumbled across this place. Joined Jul 08 9 Reviews 0 Hats Off! loading... Daddybear (Foodie) Credibility Score: 47%   Visited: 10 Feb 2010 | Posted: over 2 months ago We've been to CG several times but this was the most disappointing visit by some distance. We were the only people paying full price (the Early Birders leaving us alone in the restaurant) and it's not hard to see why. This is simply not good value anymore. The food was patchy, which is bearable when it's cheap but not when it's overpriced. Greek food should be bursting with flavour but this was largely bland and uninspiring. Decent service but when the staff are re-setting tables for the following night before 9pm, that's hardly surprising. We will not be hurrying back. << First Page < Prev [Results 1 - 8 of 21] Next > Last Page >>
