About George's Greek Cafe

George's Greek Cafe in Belmont Shore has been a Long Beach institution for decades — a family-run restaurant executing classic Greek cooking with the consistency that only comes from doing the same things well for years. The avgolemono — chicken broth thickened with egg and brightened with lemon — is among the best versions in Southern California. The lamb chops arrive properly seasoned and grilled, the spanakopita flaky and rich. The outdoor patio fills with locals on warm evenings.
