I think most Greeks get their Greek breakfasts at home, and it’s a treat to go out and try a North American-style brunch.
Most Greeks I know personally (from the islands, in my case) don’t really eat breakfast. Mostly coffee and some toast, paximadi or koulourakia (similar to simit).
I had not ever heard of strapatsada (Greek eggs with tomatoes) until I went to Greece with a friend whose roots are on the western side of the Peloponnese. Her family eats a bigger breakfast.
The amazing brunch at St George Lycabettus is created for travelers I think. I love it. It’s a lot like a good German or Swiss hotel breakfast spread, but with more regional Greek stuff.
