Wild Poppies: Pan Asian flavors and exotic after office drinks at Stadium

His first birthday will celebrate these days Wild Poppies, who easily won the heart of those who love both exotic tasty trips and wild parties. The site also justifies “historically” this success – here was formerly Far East Kitty Cat and Dybbuk – and the fact that it is a project of the Pitsilis brothers and the team behind Poco a Poco and Forte was a clear indication that things will go very well from the beginning. CORVERSE In the kitchen ramparts is the award-winning chef Spyros Mavroidous big fan of panasian flavors, who is here from day one and has determined the taste profile of Wild Poppies and consequently the personality of the restaurant as a whole. The food here includes various interesting dishes from sushi rolls to noodles, buns, spring rolls and curry, all “fixed” to serve the concept of the bar food, i.e. by pinching delicious drinks. But even if you don’t want to stay close to the bar, but enjoy a regular dinner, there are also the largest dishes that you can share with your company – that is their philosophy after all. CORVERSE We, the night we visited Wild Poppies we tried almost the entire catalogue, but we distinguished the acid-balanced ceviche mill cutter with yuzu leche, kumquat and kaffir lime and the exemplary baked gyozas with pork, mushroom, kizami wasabi and ponzu. We dared to move on more spicy paths with the tuna rolls with kizami mayo, avocado and jalapenos pickles and then appreciated the freshness of thai salad with crisp green beans, fish sauce, chili and mint. Of the main ones, our vote was won by short rib with yuzukosho and padron peppers, while we did not say no to thai noodles with juicy shrimp, lots of garlic, pak choi and soy sauces. We have closed the chapter “eat” with chocolate moelleux, a chocolate souffle with crème anglaise and peanut ice cream, which is also the best seller and with matcha tart with monté coconut, confit pineapple, namelaka matcha and coconut sorbet, which in our opinion is much more interesting and certainly closer to the exoticism of the rest of the menu. Do not hesitate to accompany all of the above with any of the options of the strong cocktail list. It is divided into three sections, the spritz/after office, the non alcoholic, and the signature. From the last category we loved Pomegranate Hug , a “pirified” paloma with tension and characteristic pomegranate aromas and cool Garden Elixir based on gin, cucumber, lime and ginger beer. Let us say, at this point, that alcohol-free cocktails are particularly delicious and appropriate to the intense flavors of the catalogue’s dishes, which we were pleasantly surprised at (a difficult encounter of something worthwhile in this area that does not seem hopelessly refreshing). After we finished our food we were left to the rhythms of music. Her intensity is gradually rising, as the arcade fills at night. Just before the party started for good we learned that every Wednesday, Chef Spyros Mavroides will dedicate his kitchen and all his art exclusively to an Asian country, with an ephemeral day menu that will cause us to taste explorations, often with 4 hands surprises. This means that well-known Greek chefs will every now and then make an unexpected guest appearance in his kitchen, while their names will be revealed shortly. So if you were wondering where you would go out on a daily basis to eat delicious, see people and dance Wild Poppies in your Stadium has the answer.
