Eleni's Philoxenia & Estiatorio
Pearl District & Sellwood

Philoxenia (hospitality) Estiatorio (restaurant) offers Cretian-style food with an abundance of olive oil, garlic and fresh vegetables. On the island of Crete friends will gather at an Estiatorio or Taverna and enjoy long evenings of shared appetizers, wine and conversation... lingering over the freshness. In this tradition, Eleni's offers many more appetizers than you would normally find on a menu, each handmade to order.

Eleni's believe that great food can only come from great ingredients. The olive oil used is a very fine first pressing from the island of Crete. Whenever available, fresh organic vegetables are served. All the meat served at Eleni's is raised respectfully and without hormones: Oregon Painted Hills beef, Carlton pork, Draper Valley free range chickens and new Zealand lambs.
