Besides the deli, takeout options and islands of fresh baked
breads, the Foodies in Metairie is the hot spot for breakfast

bread and desserts as its Metairie sister. Continental breakfast,
lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards and checks. $

GREEK ACROPOLIS CUISINE
3841 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie 888-9046
While Acropolis sticks to its mission of bringing Mediterranean
meals to the masses, the cooks don't shy away from experimenting
with other styles in seafood dishes like the grilled mahi mahi
and the blackened amberjack. But the core of the menu remains
focused on gyros, kebobs, moussaka and spinach-feta pies in
flaky phyllo pastry. Reservations recommended for parties of
six or more. Lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $$
MR. GYROS
3232 Williams Blvd., Kenner 466-6833
Though Mr. Gyros moved to Kenner about a year ago, the Greek
restaurant has quickly carved out a place for itself. Specialties
include the roast lamb, egg-lemon soup, souvlaki (marinated
pork) and baklava for dessert. The Moussaka is a layered casserole
of eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, ground beef, rice and cream
cheese sauce. Reservations recommended. Lunch Monday through
Saturday, dinner daily. Credit cards. $
