CRETAN MEZE, GREEK TAVERN, NYC

An authentic Greek taverna that brings the charm and the warmth of the Mediterranean to the vibrant streets of New York City. Inspired by the rustic beauty of Greece’s coastal villages, this project blends traditional elements with contemporary design to create an inviting space where food, culture, and community come together.

The interiors feature natural textures like wood, and woven materials to evoke the essence of a seaside taverna. The open kitchen concept creates a lively atmosphere, while handcrafted tiles, greenery, and cozy seating areas transport guests to the Aegean coast. The design seamlessly integrates modern touches creating an ambiance that’s both chic and casual, while staying true to the timeless simplicity of Greek dining.
