Nostimo 노스티모

Nostimo is a Greek home-style restaurant on the second floor of 125 Seocho-daero in Seocho-gu. Its name means delicious in Greek, and the menu is shaped by an owner who studied in Greece. Orders are placed at the counter. Ingredients and preparation details appear beneath the Greek dish names, allowing diners to compare unfamiliar items by structure. Horiatiki salad combines large-cut vegetables with house-made feta, bringing watery produce, salty cheese, and olive oil into one serving. Spanakopitakia wraps spinach and feta in thin phyllo pastry. Dipping the crisp, warm shell into tzatziki adds cool yogurt, cucumber, and acidity. Souvlaki places grilled pork beside pita and tzatziki, letting each bite shift between meat, bread, and sauce. Moussaka layers meat cooked in tomato sauce with béchamel, creating a dense, soft main dish. Lemon chicken soup uses chicken stock and butter in a consistency close to porridge, then cuts the richness with lemon acidity. Yemista is served from Friday through Sunday. Tomato and bell pepper are cooked until soft enough to cut with a spoon, filled with finely textured beef and rice, and seasoned with herbs. The three-dip plate may be shared with pita or potatoes, and tzatziki is packaged separately for takeaway. An orange tart contains a generous citrus filling. Strong coffee provides a bitter finish, and Greek wine extends the meal alongside salad, pie, or grilled pork. For two diners, horiatiki, spanakopitakia, and souvlaki divide the table into raw vegetables and cheese, crisp pastry, and grilled meat. Adding yemista on a weekend introduces warm vegetables and rice, while moussaka creates a heavier combination of meat and sauce. The compact room becomes loud when multiple tables fill. Only a few cars fit in front of the building, while public transportation avoids competition for those spaces. House-made feta and tzatziki connect several plates without making them identical. Feta appears as solid, salty pieces in salad and as a mixed filling in phyllo, while tzatziki cools both pastry and pork. The menu uses recurring ingredients in different forms: feta with raw vegetables, feta inside pastry, yogurt beside grilled pork, tomato around rice and beef, and citrus in soup or tart.
