Dimitri's, Deansgate, Manchester

This is Greek restaurant with more than a nod to Mediterranean food generally. Restaurant was packed out on a weeknight just after Christmas - a good sign. Great surroundings, really atmospheric with frescoes on the wall and high ceilings. On the downside, tables were quite close together and the entrance was difficult to find.

There were 13 items in the vegetarian list of mezze dishes, plus more in the cheese list that would be OK for non-vegans. Aso quite a few vegetarian main courses, but we went for the mezze. The dishes are quite large; don't be fooled into ordering too many: we had three, plus garlic bread and a side salad, which was more than enough. The pastry triangles with cheese in were my favourite, but everything tasted good, looked colourful and was well presented, with the possibe exception of the garlic bread, which I found too soggy, but my partner didn't complain. We had no room for desserts, but there were the usual suspects; banoffee pie, ice cream, etc., and one appearing at a neighbour's table almost had me changing my mind.

I would definitely go there again and highly recommend this place for vegetarians.
