At AVLU, every dish feels like a passport stamp to the sun-drenched shores of the Aegean. The chefs here don’t just cook; they craft experiences. Using locally sourced ingredients and recipes handed down through generations, AVLU’s menu is a celebration of authentic flavours.
Seafood fans can start with the Grilled Greek Octopus, paired with a delicate green bean stew and kissed with extra virgin olive oil. Or try the Salt-Cooked Wild Seabass, where fennel, green olives, and basil oil create a harmonious dance of flavours.
For meat lovers, the Slow-Cooked Turkish Lamb Shoulder melts in your mouth, seasoned with cumin salt and served alongside tender baby spinach. Meanwhile, the Iskender Kebab, a dish of marinated beef dripping in caramelised butter and smoked yoghurt, is nothing short of divine indulgence.
Vegetarians fear not! The Aubergine Millefeuille, layered with creamy Greek Manouri cheese, is a masterpiece of comfort and flavour. Pair it with an assortment of mezze, all thoughtfully drizzled with signature olive oil sourced straight from the Aegean coastline.
