Bakalaki embodies the merging of Greek traditions and Hellenistic culture, marrying bakaliko (the traditional Greek neighbourhood store full of flavours, scents and colours) with meraki (love, spirit and soul of everything), bringing the rich Greek heritage and culture to Singapore.
Daily specials include the Arnarki Kleftiko ($88.90), which is slow-cooked lamb shoulder in parchment paper with potatoes and Kefalotyri cheese; and the grilled, marinated squid Kalamari Sharas ($30.90) with Bakalaki’s EVOO-lemon sauce. Wash everything down with the restaurant’s unique selection of Greek wines and beers or choose from its range of organic, Greek Bio Herbal Teas from the sunny Chalkidiki peninsula, known for its natural flavourings and relaxing aromas.
Bakalaki is also a deli. It brings traditional ingredients sourced from authentic Greek suppliers and regional producers, such as take-home Greek delicacies including wines, cheeses (like the classic Greek firm cheese DODONI Kefalograviera made from pasteurised sheep and goat milk ($14.90 for 250g), olives, honey (try the Thyme, Herbs and Flowers Honey at $13.80 for 110g), olive oils, and more.
