Is shaped by simplicity and spawned by ingenuity.
Simple, unpretentious foods such as grains, pasta and legumes
are enriched by the pungent, earthy flavors of garlic, onion,
eggplant and artichoke, and by the essences of the olive oil, lemons and raisins.
Greek cooking which is tied to nature and to the seasons,
reflects the simple enviornment of sun-earth-sea.
The cuisine of Greece flourishes because
of this quality. Here at Cafe Athena we strive to serve food
with the same elemental quality. We have refined some traditional
favorites into a repertoire of much lighter dishes by reducing
the fat content while retaining the zest, tempting aromas
and robust flavors that are hallmarks of Greek fare.
Our menu is designed to accomodate both vegetarian and
omnivorous diners. When you visit our Pacific Beach taverna,
we encourage you to enjoy some of the authentic dishes
that our generous menu offers. Included are age-old favorites
such as Dolmathakia and Moussaka, alongside
some absolute surprises guaranteed to tantalize your
adventurous curiosity. The menu includes many heart healthy items
that are suitable for those of you who follow a restricted diet,
yet like the joys of eating and the finer things of life.
Greeks believe that even the simplest meals may become
ambrosia when you are in a happy mood.
We hope our hospitality at Cafe Athena sustains your happy mood
and we thank you for sharing with us the pleasures
of this delightful cuisine.
