Ordering coffee in Greece is easy to do because most waiters and waitresses are able to communicate in English, especially in most tourist destinations.\u00a0If you want to order coffee in Greek though, in this post you will find some phrases that might be useful.<\/p>\n

In some places there is no menu on the table, so you can say:<\/p>\n

I want the menu, please: <\/span>\u0388\u03bd\u03b1\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u03bf, \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03ce<\/strong> (enan katalogo parakalo).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

If you want to order coffee, the simplest phrase to tell would be<\/span>: <\/span><\/p>\n

A coffee, please: <\/span>\u0388\u03bd\u03b1\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u03c6\u03ad, \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03ce<\/strong> (enan kafe parakalo)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

However, this phrase will get you in \u201ctrouble\u201d as the waiter will ask questions such as \u201cwhat kind of coffee?\u201d, \u201csweet or medium?\u201d \u201cdo you want milk with it?\u201d.<\/p>\n

The coffee you can find in a typical Greek caf\u00e9<\/span> is Greek coffee, frapp<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>, espresso and cappuccino (hot or cold), and filter coffee which is called French coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n
