Bistro Sofia
616 Dolley Madison Road, Greensboro.
Phone: 336-855-1313. $$$$. ABC.
I swoon over mostly everything about this little part-French, part-Eastern European, part-Asian restaurant. The menu changes frequently, but I particularly liked lobster croquettes with red pepper vinaigrette, toasted coconut lime ice cream, and another version in roasted banana on top of warm chocolate cake and guava sauce. The early evening prix fixe is a good deal.
Ollie's Bakery
300 S. Marshall St.
Phone: 727-0404. $. NS.
Does Ollie's technically count as a restaurant? No. Does it mean you shouldn't go there and try every type of deliciously-crafted foccacia, pain au chocolat, bread, broiche, bun, brownie, cookie, cake and tart possible? No.

Think Greek food is all moussaka and s panakopita, souvlaki and tzatziki? Try keftedes (meatballs), sKordalia (potato dip), pastitsio (macaroni and cheese), galaktoboureko (milky custard pastry) and melitzanosalata (eggplant puree). Opa!
