I like to think of moussaka as the Greek version of lasagna: layers and layers of comfort. And the one at the airy Gardens of Salonica does a bang-up job for a winter warm-up with its mushy strata of eggplant, sweetly spiced ground beef, and bechamel on top. You'd do well to cut through its rich creaminess with a bowl of lemony avogolemano soup and a glass of Greece's famous resin-y wine, Retsina, too.
