My Big Fat Greek Taverna is a humorous and entertaining memoir about Costa Ayiotis, a former lawyer and United Nations diplomat who abandons the corporate rat race in Johannesburg to pursue an unlikely dream in Cape Town.

Determined to start a new chapter, Costa buys a run-down pub in the picturesque fishing village of Hout Bay and transforms it into Lemoniá Greek Taverna. With no previous hospitality experience, he faces a colourful cast of customers, demanding staff and the unpredictable realities of running a restaurant in a seasonal seaside town.

From strong-willed Greeks and unpredictable Germans to pedantic English customers and know-it-all Americans, Costa navigates the daily chaos with a combination of Greek grit, determination and hard work. His journey is filled with amusing encounters, frustrating challenges and moments that test his patience, often leaving him retreating to the cold room to escape the madness.

Set against the quirky backdrop of Hout Bay, My Big Fat Greek Taverna offers a candid and often hilarious look at entrepreneurship, reinvention and the courage it takes to walk away from a conventional life in pursuit of a dream.

A lively, relatable memoir for anyone who has ever wanted to escape the rat race and try something completely different.
