10 Things You Should NEVER Do in a Greek Restaurant (That No One Will Tell You)!

TRANSCRIPT

Food is very important in Greece, and Greeks take it personally when it comes to Greek food. If you’re planning to travel to Greece and want to try Greek food, do it like a local! There are things that Greeks do in a restaurant that are a little different from other cultures.

Today I’ll show you the 10 Things YOU SHOULD NEVER DO in a Greek restaurant! And no one will ever tell you!

Let’s get started!

❌ 1. Don’t Order for Yourself – Share Your Food! 🍽️

Greeks rarely order a “personal” dish for themselves.
Before the waiter comes, talk with your friends and decide the dishes you ALL want. When the dishes come, put them all in the middle of the table so that everyone can share everything! This way, after all, you can taste from all dishes!

❌ 2. Don’t Pay for Yourself 💰

Greeks rarely pay for what they personally ordered.
When the check comes, split it by the persons you are with. Everyone pays equally. If your friend drank a little more ouzo, it’s ok, everyone pays the same.

❌ 3. Order Randomly, NOT by Category 🥗
