Media Release: Every Sunday escape to Santorini: Unwind with traditional live music and a feast of Mediterranean delights and bottomless spritzes

Having recently marked its one-year birthday milestone, Southern Mediterranean restaurant, Sofia on Cleveland, is set to introduce an enticing lineup of Sunday sessions this Summer, celebrating the vibrant tastes and sounds of the South Aegean.

Santorini Sundays, the latest addition to Sofia’s offerings, promises to evoke the laid-back bar culture synonymous with the popular Greek Island.

Launching on Sunday 3 December, guests can expect a curated selection of shared mezze plates, bottomless spritz cocktails, and a transformed lounge area into a ‘Baraki’, where guests can unwind to the tunes of traditional live music and relax with Greek board games.

The menu will be a nod to the family’s Greek heritage and owners Sophie and Con Bousgas have teamed up with renowned chef Justin North from Concept Hospitality, and Sofia head chef Nathan Treleaven to create the menu for Santorini Sundays.

Justin North says: “We are really excited to launch this summer taste of Greece, an evolving shared menu with a selection of our signature and new dishes inspired by our travels through the Greek Islands.”

Menu highlights include; Selection of Greek dips with flatbreads; Grilled octopus with charred chorizo sausage, romesco and chilli garlic greens; Fried manouri cheese in phyllo with Greek honey and sesame; Slow roast Mediterranean lamb shoulder with tzatziki; Harissa roasted eggplant with lemon and feta salad; and for dessert, loukoumades, a popular Greek donut covered in honey, cinnamon and crushed nuts.

The drinks menu will feature bottomless two-hour packages; Fira ($90) and Oia ($120) where guests can enjoy a selection of spritz cocktails and margaritas by Sofia’s mixologist, Jake Gamboso.

One of the highlights on the Spritz menu is the aptly named Santorini Fever, a cocktail incorporating Malfy Gin Originale, Massenez Crème de Pomme Verte, akropolis ouzo, orange blossom, butterfly pea flower and Fever Tree Mediterranean tonic.

Santorini Sundays will run every Sunday until the end of Summer, open from 12pm with live music from 1pm-3pm.
