It’s not uncommon to hear of Singaporeans flying to the Greek islands for a romantic getaway, but aside from being a holiday hotspot, there’s also been a number of Greek restaurants sprouting up on our little island — in fact, you won’t have to look far to find a spot in Singapore that serves up authentic fare.

In this article, we’ll share some of the best Greek restaurants in Singapore, where you can dig into some moussaka (eggplant-based dish)and spanakopita (savoury spinach pie), and maybe even end off the evening with a glass of ouzo. 

Read on for our pick of the places for the best Greek food in Singapore:

1. Alati Divine Greek Cuisine 

73 Amoy Street
Open: Monday to Saturday (12pm to 2.30pm, 5.30pm to 11pm)
