Layers of paper-thin filo brushed with butter and baked around a filling of spinach, feta, onion and herbs. Our spanakopita comes out warm and shatteringly crisp on top, soft and savoury underneath — a Greek classic that has become an Ancaster staple.
Spanakopita is the Greek spinach pie found on every table from Athens to Hamilton. The filling is chopped spinach with crumbled feta, onion and fresh herbs, seasoned just enough to let the greens and cheese speak for themselves. It is wrapped in sheet after sheet of delicate filo, then baked until the pastry turns deep gold and crackles when you cut it.
It works as a starter to share, as a light vegetarian lunch with a Greek salad on the side, or as part of a larger Mediterranean spread with hummus and baba ganoush. We bake it in batches so it reaches you warm, and it is one of the first trays to empty at the catering events we serve around Ancaster.
It is the easiest way to bring something Greek, vegetarian and comforting to the table. Guests who are new to Mediterranean food usually start here, and regulars keep adding it because it pairs with everything else on the menu. Served warm it is a small dish that makes a full meal feel complete.
Order spanakopita online for pickup or delivery across Ancaster, Meadowlands, Ancaster Heights, Mohawk Meadows, Maywood and the surrounding Hamilton neighbourhoods, or eat in with us at 35 Stone Church Road West. Catering trays are available for office lunches, family gatherings and parties.
