$$$$Price: Moderate • Greek • NE Portland
We were so happy to see that Trela finally opened! Glad to have a Greek restaurant on the eastside. Service was great, and we loved the ambience. We started with the scordalia, delicious and garlicky, served with warm pita bread. We loved the marouli salad - super light and refreshing. The saganaki - salty, fried cheese flambeed with lemon - was amazing! The spanokopita was spinach-heavy and had incredible flavor and texture, and the gigantes plaki was perfection. We opted for a nice bottle of Sarris Robola, a tasty Greek white wine that complemented our meal nicely. Our server brought a complimentary apertif to end the meal - a nice touch! Alas, we did not save room for dessert. Next time we plan to bring friends so we can experience more of the menu.
