My husband and I dined at Nerai last night and it was a culinary delight. Unfortunately we are dieting so I didn’t get to order some things that I would have like to have tried. What we did order was perfect for us. The Octopus appetizer was outstanding. The Octopus was cooked to perfection, so tender. I had the Langoustine special. You don’t see Langoustines too often on a menu. These were grilled perfectly, such a treat. My husband had the Duck Moussaka and I had a taste of the duck. It was tender and the sauce was amazing. I wish I could have had dessert, next time after I lose more weight. The ambiance is very charming. The service impeccable. Our server Theo was friendly and accommodating and the rest of the staff was very attentive. I look forward to going back, I highly recommend Nerai.

A great restaurant. This was the second time there, but this time we took some friends from Canada. They agreeded that the seafood choices were out standing. The Greek touch makes the menu.

Pretty much opposite our hotel - Hotel Elysee - so very convenient.

We booked a table for two on a Monday night on OpenTable. All good, seated quickly and with out fuss.

Upstairs is nice and quiet. Relaxed but atmospheric.

The food was wonderful; fresh, tasty, well proportioned and presented.

We were there for an occasion and they presented us with an extra little cake! A really nice touch we weren't expecting.

All in all, this is a great little place and an excellent find.

I dined with a friend on Friday evening and the atmosphere can be described as contemporary elegance and the food is outstanding and uses the finest quality ingredients. We started with watermelon feta salad which was fresh, delicious and the perfect summer starter! We continued with the fresh spreads which include tzatziki, feta and eggplant which again were nothing short of fresh, flavorful and wonderful. I ordered the Pan Seared Dover Sole which comes with Beurre Blanc sauce and capers. The meal was phenomenal, a nice large portion and I would give the dish 5 stars. The seafood was fresh and the light sauce paired perfectly with the white fish. A plus and can’t wait to return!
