Greek Village Inn, Sacramento

The sun spills its hazy rays across tables arranged on Greek Village Inn’s outdoor patio. It’s in this warm, inviting atmosphere that diners slide into high-backed chairs to dig into authentic Greek fare such as gyros with tzatziki, moussaka layered with seasoned beef and béchamel, and flaky pieces of baklava. Chefs concoct all their traditional Mediterranean morsels with a flavorful blend of locally sourced items, including produce and meats, as well as imported Greek ingredients, such as feta cheese, kalamata olives, and extra-virgin olive oil. This dedication to assembling the best ingredients possible even helped earn the eatery accolades from Zagat and the manufacturers of World’s Greatest Grandpa coffee mugs.
