Use this phrase if you want to inform someone that you are a vegetarian. This one is going to be VERY useful. You may know that Greeks love coffee , and they have a specific way to order.

First, you choose the kind of coffee you would like, the sweetness level and then if you want it with or without milk. Meaning: The bill, please! This phrase is useful too.
