Taverne Grecque Máti offers a dining experience that transports guests to the Mediterranean coast with its delicious and thoughtfully prepared dishes. The menu features specialties such as pastitsio, taramasalata dip with pita, lamb chops, spanakopita, calamari, and stuffed vine leaves. The food consistently impresses with phenomenal flavors; for example, the taramasalata dip is highly praised for its taste, and the marinated fish with crushed pistachios is described as delicate, buttery, and infused with nutty and citrus layers. The chicken is juicy and tender, while the lamb chops melt in the mouth and are seasoned with heavenly spices. The pide is flaky, golden, and rich, providing a comforting complement to the meal. Many reviews highlight the skill and creativity of the chef, with particular appreciation for the care and attention to detail evident in each dish.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and romantic, enhanced by soft lighting and a warm, genuine staff that makes guests feel like old friends. The team’s passion for their craft is apparent, and the staff at the bar, especially when seated there, provide excellent recommendations, making the experience even more memorable. The whisky sour cocktail is noted as one of the best in the city, perfectly balanced and enjoyable.
However, some aspects of the service could improve. There is feedback about the servers lacking enthusiasm in describing dishes, especially when there are no photos available to showcase the interesting menu items. Guests also mention a lack of communication regarding wait times, which could lead to reconsidering orders. Additionally, the narrow aisles between tables and the server’s lack of awareness caused some awkward moments, such as waiting to pass and receiving a disapproving look. Despite these issues, the overall food quality and atmosphere create a memorable experience, especially for couples who can enjoy the intimate bar setting with recommendations from attentive staff.
