Plateia Mediterranean Kitchen — one of Des Plaines's strongest mediterranean spots. Good energy here, especially on weekends. The recipes feel handed down, not invented. Champlingss: "The octopus is tender with the perfect char and citrusy balance" [$$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Des Plaines classic in summer.

Plateia is a very nice restaurant serving a good selection of Greek food with friendly service. I had the pork and chicken skewers and the beet salad which were both delicious.

음식을 주문하자마자 빵이 나왔는데 갓구운것처럼 따뜻하고 맛있었어요. Beet salad도 좋았어요. Grilled lambchop과, 같이나온 grilled vegetables도 맛있었어요. Octopus quinoi를 한입먹었을때, quinoi가 따뜻해서 새로운 경험이었어요. 보통 차갑게 serving되는 quinoi만 먹어봤거든요. 다시 와보고싶은 곳입니다.
