restaurant ELLAS
Charleroi, Belgium
The read// why locals go
Despina and her family have been running this Greek dining room in Mont-sur-Marchienne since the early 1980s, and the wood fire is built right into the room. That grill is the whole argument: meat cooked over live flame in front of you, brought out with the mezze that Ellas has made its regional speciality. It is a big, warm, colourful space rather than a precious one, the kind of place where a table of six settles in for the evening and nobody rushes them. Two terraces open up in good weather. Prices stay reasonable, the welcome is a family one, and Charleroi has kept coming back for four decades.
