Melina Phyllo Bar

Melina Phyllo Bar Review

It may be in the heart of Mile End, but this newly opened phyllo bar looks like it was transported directly from Athens, with food arriving on checkered cobalt-blue wax paper. Focusing on take-out, this charming spot turns out delicious spanakopita, with a perfect crunchy exterior, that's an excellent lunch on-the-go. The menu is brief, but every item is well made, including the Melina sandwich, with its spicy feta spread, kalamata hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes, and graviera (Swiss-like cheese). Another must-try, the bougatsa, is a warm custard-filled phyllo pastry with cinnamon.
