Brouklis is Open for 2025
Welcome to 2025 summer season
Welcome to our Taverna,
Where our family and Friends have been working for the last 51 years keeping the tradition together with the quality and local hospitality.
The Brouklis Grill Taverna is a small establishment in the center of Arillas. this restaurant is not located on the sea front but tucked away in a side street, its sign hidden by vines, grown not for the grapes but for the shade they provide.
Discerning guests don’t look at the menu but ask the waiter what he has today. Special delicacies are stifado, Mousaka, Bourdeto, Tsigareli, Bifteki and zucchini balls the recipes, which have been passed down from generation to generation, are a closely kept secret.
All dishes prepared in our Taverna are made as if you would have had them in a local home. without any particular efforts to make the food look nice but using pure, local ingredients cooked in the way they have been cooked for the previous hundredths of years.
Snapshot for the menu:
"In our kitchen we do not use a microwave oven, nor stock cubes or other commercial ingredients."
"Our specialties are daily fresh prepared in a limited number of portions."
Table 13
Tonight I sat at Table 13. I am not superstitious, and neither clearly is Dimitris, my landlord for the week, and resourceful owner of Brouklis Taverna in Arillas.
We have had a running joke this week over the fact that only he knows whichbuttons to press on the coffee machine to make it splutter into life and produce the cappuccino coffee I like to drink.
Without Dimitris it’s Nescafe or nought!
I haven't yet spotted a customer suggestion box, but if I do I shall write on a white serviette: Teach your sister how to use the cappuccino machine!
Ukrainian Russian TravelShow
There is a video from the Ukranian-russian travel documentary that came to our Taverna at the beginning of last May,.
The program tells a story about a week-end travel from two perspectives: a wealthy traveller and a budget one.
Two presenters (Ukrainian/Russian celebrities) flip the coin to decide who goes with “unlimited” budget and who has $100 for the same purpose.
“Heads&Tails” project has been created by the team of Teenspirit LLC production in 2010 and since then is a leading TV travel project in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Poland. Moreover the TV-show has a Russian speaking on-line audience in more than 42 countries and over 800 000 fans combined on Facebook and vkontakte social networks (www.facebook.com/OrelReshka and vk.com/orelireshka).
. Guess who had the best time!
