Elysee is an independent Greek room in Fitzrovia that still reads as a find — not on the tourist circuit, and the kind of place a local would send you.

Percy Street Greek — family-run, homely, and under the radar compared to the Charlotte Street chains. Honest Mediterranean cooking at prices that still feel like Fitzrovia value.
