Opa!

Another co-worker was leaving for the bright lights of the downtown financial district. On Friday, we trekked over to Big Fat Greek Buffet for a farewell lunch. On the one hand, a Greek buffet was a nice change from the usual Indian/Chinese ones. On the other hand, this particular location has been a revolving door for eateries of all sorts.

The venue was large, which may account for previous demises. The buffet itself was on the small side, compared to the large ones that dominate the Mississauga/Brampton market. But I was pleasantly surprised by the novelty and variety. There was the usual french fries, pizza, and salad bar. But the interesting items included chicken and pork souvlaki, grilled beef and vegetables, and fried calamari. Venturing further afield, there were meat-balls, stuffed spinach pastries (spanakopita), and a sort of a pasta lasagna called pastitsio. All were calorie-dense but for a buffet, reasonably seasoned and had good flavour. But it wasn't a packed lunch crowd, and I fear for this latest incarnation.
