Our Menu
We offer many appetizers on our menu. On the island of Crete , friends gather at an Estiatorio or Taverna and enjoy long evenings sharing appetizers, wine and conversation; lingering over the freshness. We invite you to sit and embrace this amicable custom while we hand make each dish to order.

Our Ingredients
We believe that great food can only come from great ingredients. Whenever available, we serve fresh, organic vegetables. All of our meats are raised respectfully without hormones: Oregon Cascade Natural Beef, Draper Valley Free Range Chickens, and New Zealand Lambs. The olive oil used is a very fine first press from the island of Crete.

To Your Health
A study of diets of the world reported in Scientific American; concluded that the diet of Crete , with its emphasis on fresh vegetables, olive oil and small amounts of meat, is the healthiest diet on Earth. Eleni's is pleased to share this healthy cooking heritage with you.

Catering and Private Parties
Eleni's also offers catering services, corpo-rate buyouts and private party rentals. Please see server for details.
