Fine Dining in a Mediterranean Grove

Tonight, the dining room at Royal Brock Retirement Living was transformed into the Olivaia Elysium (Peaceful Paradise) of Greece for a Mediterranean Olive Grove fine dining event. The evening began with Kristine and friends from “The Wine Shop,” who led a delightful wine tasting session in the afternoon, featuring selections from the Niagara region.

For dinner, residents savored the cool, refreshing Τζατζίκι (Tzatziki) served with warm πίτα (pita) and lemon-marinated Καλαμάτα ελιές (Kalamata olives), setting the stage for a truly Hellenic feast. For the main course, residents chose between tender, garlic and oregano-infused Αρνί Ορεγανάτα (Lamb Oreganata) and hearty, traditional Μουσακάς (Moussaka), each accompanied by roasted Mediterranean vegetables and zesty λεμονάτες πατάτες (lemon potatoes). The evening was sweetly concluded with strawberry shortcake, featuring layers of vanilla pound cake, custard, and fresh strawberries.

After dinner, we were entertained by Joseph Knadzady on the baby grand. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the culinary and dietary teams for a summers evening filled with delight and the πνεύμα (spirit) of Greece.  Opa!
