My personal favorite spot to eat in Matthews, NC. We have regularly eaten here for breakfast and lunch and have always been wowed with the food we ordered. The bistro has expanded to offering dinner and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The owner is an absolute delight to converse with and you can really feel the care and passion behind every dish he makes. A true gem in Matthews.

Yannni Bistro is a wonderful gem in downtown Matthews, NC. I visited today, and it was so much more than I expected. Ashley was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. The salmon salad and dark chocolate macarons were absolutely delicious! The other items I purchased to go: the chicken peri sandwich and fries, side salad, tabbouleh salad and hummus also look great. It is wonderful to find a local bistro using high quality fresh ingredients cooked to perfection and served in a lovely setting. The indoor and outdoor seating looks inviting. This restaurant stands out in a positive manner, and I am looking forward to returning soon!

5 stars on the lentil soup.
The turkey sandwich was amazing. Great service and and was willing to work with my daughter's dietary restrictions.

Yanni is very personable, kind and very engaging. His coffee is the best I've ever tasted and I'm 81 years old! If you like vegan or gluten free, he has a very impressive menu. I've only had his breakfast of scrambled eggs , bacon on a bagel with his amazing cappuccino, but it was all very, very good! My wife and I both enjoy coming to Yanni's!

Rarely do you find a spot in Matthews that showcases a chef’s passion for food but Yanni Bistro is an exception. I eat here for lunch about 4 times per month and greatly appreciate the chance to eat healthy while enjoying food with delicious flavors. For the first year or so, I always thought of it as a high end sandwich cafe and varied my selections from only that side of the menu. It was not until a few conversations with Yanni in early 2024 that I ventured into his pasta and salad selections. Wow- the quality of ingredients, along with the superb preparation of proteins like salmon is unmatched. This is where Yanni Bistro rises above other choices to dine. If you have the chance, and Yanni is not slammed in the kitchen, take a moment and ask him about his culinary background and for insight into his menu. You’ll see why the food tastes so good. 100% dedication to perfecting dishes. Is it the cheapest lunch in town, no, but it is a reasonable price to pay for the level of food you are getting. I always leave feeling full but never like I’ve over eaten like some made to order lunch spots. I would highly recommend Yanni Bistro to all fans of good food!

I was looking forward to this place but was somewhat disappointed. It’s located in downtown Matthews. Has a lot of potential with great location and parking. However, the vegan options are very simple, portions are small and it’s too pricey for what you get.
