A family that loves hospitality
Chef Patron Dimitrios looks after the kitchen. His wife leads front of house. Their son Olympios is learning the family trade.
Alongside a close team of family and friends, they welcome Stratford locals and visitors from around the world — whether it is lunch for one or a banquet for sixty-five.
Make an occasion of it
From a birthday table for two to a private feast or a full tour group, El Greco makes shared occasions feel personal and easy.
Tell the team what you are celebrating and they will decorate your table. You are welcome to bring a cake.
A characterful beamed room on one long table, with no additional room charge.
Flexible spaces and tailored menus for families, companies and tour parties.
Going to the theatre?
