Middle Eastern cuisine may be one of this year’s hot trends, but the benefits of the Mediterranean diet are well-known on the Greek peninsula, where they’ve been consuming olive oil, fresh fish, and whole grains for thousands of years. At the Oliv Pit in Boca Raton, the dishes are traditional and most of the ingredients are imported directly from the old country. They even grill with olive pit briquettes, which are free of chemicals and carcinogens. So, enjoy the spanakopita, octopus, and souvlaki, drink some ouzo, and don’t worry about smashing a plate or two. (561-409-2049, olivpit.com)
