What Do Greeks Eat on Easter—and Where You Can Taste It Without Flying to Athens

 Easter in Greece is more than just a religious celebration—it's a feast of flavors, traditions, and togetherness. From the midnight church services to the Sunday lamb roast, it’s one of the most important holidays in Greek culture. But what exactly do Greeks eat on Easter? And where can you experience these dishes if you’re in New Jersey?

Let’s take a flavorful journey into one of Greece’s most delicious holidays.

1. The Crown Jewel: Roasted Lamb

No Greek Easter is complete without roasted lamb, often cooked on a spit and seasoned simply with lemon, garlic, oregano, and olive oil. The dish symbolizes sacrifice and resurrection, and it brings families together around the table.

While you may not have a spit in your backyard, you can get a taste of this tradition with the Lamb Chops at Aegean Estiatorio—grilled to perfection and infused with that classic Greek flavor that instantly transports you to the Aegean coast.



2. Moussaka: The Rich, Comforting Classic

Layers of roasted eggplant, seasoned ground beef, and velvety béchamel—Moussaka is often part of the Easter feast, especially on Holy Saturday when families break their fast. At Aegean Estiatorio, this dish is a highlight, prepared with respect to tradition and a touch of elegance.



3. Greek Salads & Sides: Keeping it Fresh

Easter in Greece isn’t only about the hearty dishes—Greek salad, roasted potatoes, and lemony greens are staples that balance the meal with freshness and vibrancy. The best part? These are always available and beautifully presented at Aegean Estiatorio, making it easy to build your own Easter-inspired spread.










4. Sweet Ending: Baklava & Beyond

After the main course, it’s time for something sweet. Baklava, with its flaky filo layers, crushed walnuts, and honey syrup, is one of the most iconic Greek desserts. It’s not just a treat—it’s a symbol of celebration. Enjoy a slice at Aegean Estiatorio and let the flavors linger like a joyful Easter memory.
