Food is a huge part of Greek culture. It has to do with much more than just
flavours and dishes. It has to do with the excellent ingredients, the lengthy
procedure involved in preparing the food, and the culture of sharing dishes with
others. Essentially, it has to do with bonding with others through
one of life’s greatest pleasures. At Mylos, we encourage our guests to dive into
our shared plate menu philosophy because the actual sharing of food connects
couples and groups alike. When food is passed around or back
and forth, it provides everyone with the opportunity for real conversation and a
chance to taste everything our restaurant has to offer. Here are our reasons why
we think shared plate dining is better than the traditional dining experience.
Indulgent and slow paced: A traditional three-course meal is very linear and
organized, consisting of appetizers followed by an entree, then dessert. The
service style of small plates is much different, mixing and matching food
selections, unique to the customer’s taste. Instead of feeling overwhelmed with an
individualized meal, small plates give everyone a chance to try something new.
Creates Togethernes: The actual passing around of food creates a real social
environment, evoking conversation between family and friends versus everyone’s
head down in their phones. Shared plate dining provides an experience and a
non-committal atmosphere. With every small plate, a story follows,
and you never have to be locked into a single entree again.
Enjoy!
