""I thought you said you weren't hungry," I teased her. She leaned in and whispered, "I'm not! They just keep bringing out food."
It turns out, Mezes welcomed both my sister and me with open arms, serving us 4-5 large bowls of food for free. A gentleman, who I believe was either the owner or the manager, engaged us in conversation, explaining the dishes, their origins, and graciously answering all our questions. He shared stories about how the restaurant got started while also asking about our lives and travels.
I was truly amazed by their generosity, as giving away so much food is certainly not a typical practice. The experience left me feeling uplifted; they simply took us in, fed us, and sent us on our way with warmth. We couldn’t help but sneak some cash into the tip jar when no one was looking, especially since they refused to accept any payment for the incredible food. And let me tell you, the food was outstanding—not just because it was free!"
