GREECE: Divine Food

Greece is home to many legendary things, from intellectuals, mathematicians, and politicians, to architects and philosophers - the Greeks have achieved it all. To add on to all that glory, the authenticity and richness of Greek cuisine was my favorite part of the trip!  Below are some images of the best food I tried in Greece. I wish I took more pictures of the food, but it seems I was too busy devouring it!

Even if some of the images are not "Greek" food per say, they did it better than anything I tried. Enjoy :)

BEST BITES: Midori Sushi

The Pearl, in Qatar, is now home to yet another spectacular Japanese restaurant! In Midori Sushi, it's all about hitting the right flavorful notes. Although they do not have a very large variety of sushi, they have perfected those available. I also tried their noodles, and they were, by far, the best I ever had.

The feel of the restaurant is very modern/casual-chic. The staff are friendly, and the pricing is moderate.

The restaurant doesn't have very high rating on diningindoha.com, but I think they should be ranked 5 stars for food!

Let me know if you try out Midori, and be sure to order the Shrimp Tempura!
