WHERE TO EAT The best Moussaka in the world (according to food experts)

Naoussa

FiraGreece
Next to the Central Orthodox Cathedral of Fira Town
Recommended by Fodor's Travel and 8 other food critics.
"A fisherman's spaghetti, with big chunks of lobster, is a seafood specialty, but many of the mainstays are meat oriented, including (what some say is the island's best) moussaka and a succulent veal stifado, simmered with fresh local vegetables."

"A Greek food favorite from the Ottoman Empire, moussaka is like a Greek-style lasagna made from layers of eggplant, cheese, ground beef and a top coating of crispy bechamel. Yum."

"This is one Greek restaurant where you'll want to lick your plate instead of break it, with a signature lamb, eggplant and yogurt moussaka as rich as the Pacific Stock Exchange."

Arcadia Restaurant

AthensGreece
Makrigianni 23-27
Recommended by The Chopping Block and 1 other food critic.
"I had never tried moussaka before, but this one from Arcadia (near the Acropolis) was incredible. Moussaka is typically layers of ground beef, eggplant, and béchamel, but this one was wrapped in eggplant and had chunks of lamb inside – hearty and delicious."

"It’s got a crunchy and soft, melt in your mouth taste. We know that real Greeks don’t eat moussaka very much so it’s a bit touristy to have it, yet still, it’s a fine example of the dish all the same. The dominant tastes, the cheese, the beef, the eggplant, all come through at the same time, which they should. The texture is varied, moist but firm and everything holds together well. I’m loving all the different tastes, flavours and smells of this meal. Crunchy, herby, saucy, fresh, each bite is delicious.”
