Food is at the heart of the experience and the new menu collects the finest Greece has to offer, made from the best, freshest ingredients. Our guests will be served with a traditional meze followed by the iconic Greek salad of fresh cherry tomatoes, cucumber and feta. For the main course, we’ve taken Greece’s famous street food to delicious new heights with our souvlaki-grilled lamb and chicken or vegetarian/vegan option of grilled cauliflower. A sumptuous Greek orange cake -or portokalopita – is perfect to round off the evening. For our vegan guests we will be serving traditional loukoumades, delicious dough balls accompanied by a sweet fig jam.

MAMMA MIA! THE PARTY is set in a taverna on the beautiful Greek island of Skopelos, where most exteriors of the first MAMMA MIA! film were shot. Nikos and his wife Kate run this exotic and wonderful restaurant together with their family and friends. Told through dialogue and timeless ABBA songs, a warm, romantic and funny story evolves and unfolds during the evening, taking place around the guests as they sit at their tables enjoying a gourmet Greek meal. The evening ends with a 1970s disco, where audience members are welcome to stay to sing and dance to ABBA recordings.
