This past Friday (2/7), Zen, Espy, and I (Mousse) went with a few other friends to try out a Mediterranean restaurant on Boylston Street! One of the great advantages of attending university in a large city like Boston is the variety of food and cultures just waiting to be explored. Even unrelated to food, trying new things is a great life philosophy. :)
Anyways, the restaurant Vlora is situated below ground level, marked by a large sign and a tree decorated with purple flower-shaped lights. Its interior is spacious with a very clean setup, and mirrors all around! Before the meal, a small breadbasket is served with pickled cabbage/carrots. Zen and Espy each had a lamb kafta gyro, while I tried the spanakopita (both pictured above). Here is where I tell you that restaurant lighting at night is very finicky, so please excuse the off colors. However, everything was quite delicious! In fairly generous portions, too- so much that we were unable to order dessert. :(
Bread pudding and baklava.....maybe next time? We'll let you know~
