KOS Greek Ouzeri<\/strong> is little piece of the Mediterranean in the north. The restaurant stays true to Greek tradition, making everything fresh and from scratch.<\/p>\n Start your Grecian escape with <\/span>a Mezedes sampler.

This is a must-try for those who have yet to try the rice-like pasta.<\/em><\/p>\n Tube pasta with roasted cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and fresh herbs<\/em><\/p>\n Layered tube pasta with meat and tomato sauce, topped with b\u00e9chamel sauce<\/em><\/p>\n Of course an authentic Greek tavern will serve the usuals like Gyros<\/b> (pronounced as jiro, <\/em>which means “to turn” in English) and Souvlaki, <\/b>but keep in mind\u2014 there’s more to protein than skewered meats! Don’t miss their Hirini<\/strong> (grilled pork chop), Arnisia<\/strong> (lamb chop), Kotopoulo<\/strong> (roast chicken), and Solomos<\/strong> (grilled salmon)<\/span><\/p>\n Skewered pork or chicken served with roasted vegetables, yogurt garlic sauce and red bell pepper sauce, marinated with fresh herbs and flame grilled to perfection.<\/em><\/p>\n Roasted half-chicken marinated in Greek herbs and organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Kos serves theirs sprinkled with nuts and fruit preserves on the side.<\/p>\n Their desserts go perfectly with coffee which Kos prepares in the traditional way: with a briki<\/i><\/strong>. A briki<\/i> is a steel pot with a long handle in which they put the coffee and water over a gas burner. The coffee is stirred in the briki<\/i> until dissolved.<\/p>\n If you prefer a non-caffeinated and non-alcoholic drink, then go for one of their refreshing coolers\u2014 Orange Lemonade with Ouzo, Greek Cardamom Iced Tea <\/strong>and Tarragon Lemonade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to go far to get authentic Mediterranean cuisine, just head up to Katipunan!
