Summer along the Aegean Sea is a non-stop celebration of life with a stunning shoreline of sandy beaches, glittering blue water as far as the eye can see and an abundance of summer’s finest fruits, vegetables and herbs waiting. In celebration of this sun-soaked season, our Wan Chai taverna Artemis & Apollo is setting up shop for an exclusive three-month pop-up (until 30 Sept) at The Upper House; an ode to sunny afternoons and balmy evenings on the Greek islands – of vibrant lunches spent lounging in the sun and with idyllic views. 

On any given morning in Greece, expect to find the neighbourhood open-air markets, or people’s markets (laiki agora), alive and hopping with the sounds of community members selling their goods and the sight of market stalls displaying the best of the coast – bright fruits, shiny black olives, multi-coloured peppers, soft and creamy cheese, homemade bread, meats and seafood straight from the sea.   

From Athens to the Ionian islands, the exclusive-to-The Upper House menu is a new experience for lovers of our taverna. With a focus on seasonal ingredients, you can enjoy a midday meal enlivened by herbs, zesty citrus and olive oil with a selection of mezze including the signature Greek Village Salad, and seasonal Watermelon and Golden Beet Salad alongside Upper House-exclusives including the Tahini Baby Gems and Roasted Broccolini all rounded out by the classic Spanakopita, a spinach and feta cheese pie made with flaky filo pastry. 

The heart of the menu sees healthy, satisfying proteins like Baked Salmon served with tzatziki or Chicken Kalamaki served on a bed of sautéed chickpeas, before indulging in a choice of desserts from a Lemon Semolina Pistachio Cake or Choc Chunk Cookie making for a lunch worthy of the gods. 

Embrace the Greek way of life this summer and unwind, taking a midday break from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, at The Upper House with a light-hearted, satisfying meal crafted by Artemis & Apollo.
