With sunny yellow walls, wooden floors and sky blue tablecloths the dining room has a light and easy-going ambience ideal for fun catch ups with friends and family. The menu at Sokrates Tavern features flavours from Greece, Cyprus and the Middle East, and we love the king prawns saganaki ��� a Greek Islands specialty with ouzo, white wine, feta, garlic and chilli; Sokrates' signature mousaka ��� layers of potatoes, minced lamb and aubergines topped with b��chamel; and the delicious Greek yoghurt cheesecake. Sokrates Tavern also has an excellent selection of red, white and rose wines from Greece and Cyprus.

Used to visit this place many years ago but after a couple of average meals it dropped off our radar, but due to the decline of Viva Espana we decided to give it another go and we are so glad we did. From the moment we walked in the staff were friendly and attentive, the waiter bares a striking resemblance... More

Myself and the wife go here once every few months. The food is always fantastic. Not got a bad word to say about the place. We always order the meze purely because of the variety and value that you get with it. Desserts are also done in an authentic Greek style. Highly recommended

Not been for a while tho I was a regular when I had a job. Great Cypriot/Greek food. They also have special nights and feasts - veggie or meaty for two which are excellent. Very friendly staff, who can't do enough for you and always have a chat. Thoroughly recommended.

Family meal on a Friday night in Sokrates. Lovely welcoming from attentive staff. Had the pick of the place at 7pm but by the time we were leaving the restaurant was filling up. The food is really good, Greek Cypriot in style. An excellent vegetarian selection, with enough choices for folks who are less adventurous too. Good reasonably priced wine... More

The atmosphere is great, the food is great value, particularly the meze which you can have as much of as you like :) the staff are amazing and really helpful, and the owner (if you stay late enough) will have a cheeky little drink with you! :) if you've never eaten...
