My favourite restaurant on St Armands Circle is Blu Kouzina, a truly wonderful Greek taverna run by co-owners Chef Effie and Dennis Tsakiris, "founded from our family’s love of sharing our native Greek and Mediterranean cuisine with family and friends,” says Dennis. “We want our guests to feel like they are in Greece, but most importantly, we want them to feel like they are entering an extension of our family home." The interior, drawn from the traditional blue and white palette of a beach taverna, is detailed with whitewashed furniture and nautical accents. Serving traditional and modern Greek dishes and using the freshest seasonal ingredients, the menu features Moussaka, Souvlaki, and Roast Lemon Chicken in addition to lighter tapas-style dishes like spanakopita, zucchini fritters and dolmades and entrées including fresh grilled Greek sardines, octopus and a selection of grilled whole fish. By marrying the owners passion for the food of their native Greece, and their warm welcoming hospitality and personalized service, Blu Kouzina is like a bold breeze off the Aegean Sea — a little gem on Sarasotas's culinary scene.
