Meze describes a shared way of eating, not a single dish. This one-hour session stays at SILO, around a table beneath an indoor olive tree, while a host explains ten small plates and the social idea of parea. It is a seated tasting—not a market walk, cooking class or guaranteed substitute for lunch.

The format depends on conversation and sharing; individual plate size is intentionally smaller than a restaurant course.

The menu moves from savoury staples to sweetness

The published selection includes spinach and cheese pie, olives, olive paste, bread, tzatziki, feta and oregano, followed by honey, pasteli and dried fruit. This is a catalogue of likely tastes rather than a promise that every ingredient will be plated identically. Anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions should obtain a written ingredient check, especially for dairy, sesame and alcohol.

Four drinks are named, but serving quantity is unclear

Wine, beer, ouzo and tsipouro appear in the inclusion list under alcohol tastings. The page does not clearly establish whether every guest receives a separate measure of all four. A recent review specifically reports receiving only one small drink. Confirm the actual flight, request a non-alcoholic alternative where needed and do not plan to drive after drinking.

The live header marks the venue wheelchair accessible, but the complete arrival path and toilet access should still be checked with the host. Reviews praise the explanations and product quality while others question portion-to-cost value; that split is consistent with a tasting whose value rests as much on interpretation as volume. Pair it with a self-guided day using the Old Town guide, or compare a walking meal experience in the three-hour food tour.
