The food is all fresh and delicious, with many tempting Greek specialities that you’ll want to try. With such a large menu, it may be hard to choose but it means more options for picky eaters as well. We recommend the classic chicken souvlaki, it is so satisfying and perfectly seasoned. Don’t skip the baklava! Take a look at Four Season’s menu.  

Forrat’s Chocolates was established in 2003 with a small shop at the Coven Garden Market. It has since grown into a popular chocolate lounge that brings joy to every chocolate lover in the city.
