I'm very pleased that Bakalaki Greek Taverna in its Martin Road location, set up outdoor tables in February and began to welcome pets. I've stopped by this convenient location for a few times now. Choya is happy here too, but yes, fans are a must. Otherwise I'd just melt.
The only issue with the al fresco area, there isn't a fan at all. This corridor isn't a wind tunnel, so the unrelenting humidity doesn't ease up in the evenings. Lunches here are practically impossible. Be prepared to sweat or bring your own portable fans.
The taramasalata is always superb. We had it as a full portion, then we also had it as a platter that also included the eggplant dip and hummus. The only problem with dips — they fill us up pretty quickly if we don't have a full table to share them with. With pita bread, these literally become a main.
The grilled sea bream was lovely too. I'd totally just order this as my one main. The seafood here should be expectedly excellent. We had the beef here as skewers, which came with fries, tzatziki, onions and tomatoes and pita bread, and also had it as slow-cooked oyster blade beef in a claypot with tomato sauce and orzo pasta. The latter was robust and perfect to end the night with.
Thanks to Choya's cuteness, we got complimentary dessert twice. Ahahah. No lah. The servers know us and would like us to return; they're really sweet. We also ermm had bottles of champagne. So it's just fairly decent hospitality going on.
