Each restaurant has been decorated with beautiful souvenirs from the iconic Greek mainland. As a tasteful tribute to Greece, they encapsulate the essence and warmth of the isles.

A gorgeous aesthetic greets you, featuring striking murals of Greek mythology, marble floors, naturally bleached wood (as if salt-washed from the sea), olive trees, and beautiful wall murals (depicting ancient Grecian scenes in swirls of blue, as well as Gods and Goddesses, such as Poseidon and Hebe). Glittering accents of copper and gold are dispersed throughout the rooms.

A striking focal point, found in every Mythos restaurant, is the line of blue and white hand-crocheted chandelier covers, representing those you find on the streets of Greece, made by local artists.

Each restaurant reflects Greece in its own way, but at the heart of it all lies the quintessential character of the Greek islands of Crete, Mykonos, and Santorini, where you can bask under blue skies and protection from evil eyes.

And don’t forget our Greek evenings, packed with fun. You can expect live entertainment, the smashing of plates, and an all-together good time.

Our meze platters, made for sharing, give you a great introduction to the flavours of Greece. So, take a taste tour by ordering off the meze menu at Mythos.

Or order some of our heartier, traditional dishes such as Moussaka (a kind of lasagna, with potatoes, brinjal, mince & bechamel sauce), Kleftiko (slow-roasted lamb shank on the bone), or Pastitsio (a beefy and cheesy macaroni with bechamel sauce). Make sure you leave room for the Baklava Cheesecake, washed down with a strong Greek coffee or fine wine (handpicked from the Western Cape winelands to complement the Mediterranean flavours of our dishes).

Home-style comfort food doesn’t get any better than this!

YIRO:

A yiro is almost like a meat kebab or shawarma (but better). Choose between mouth-watering meat or chicken or vegetarian options such as halloumi or falafel. At Mythos, it is served with tzatziki, tomato, red onion, and a side of fresh-cut chips. If you can’t choose, why not order “The Three Greeks” which consists of three mini yiros (beef, chicken, and halloumi)?

MEZE:

The word meze means a taste or a bite. It is used to describe small plates of savoury snacks.

SOUVLAKI:

Souvlaki consists of large pieces of meat cooked on a long skewer, over a charcoal barbecue. At Mythos, we cut these into cubes and serve them with fresh chips, tzatziki, & pita bread.

MOUSSAKA:

A traditional Greek dish made with layers of brinjal, potatoes, beef mince, and béchamel sauce. Also available in a vegetarian option.

PASTITSIO:

Pastitsio is another traditional Greek dish, made with layers of macaroni, beef mince, and cheese. It is topped with béchamel sauce and then baked in the oven.

EKMEK KATAIFI:

A traditional Greek dessert perfect for a person with a sweet tooth! Layered kataifi pastry with walnuts, almonds, and pecan nuts, and topped with fresh homemade custard and whipped cream. 

TZATZIKI:

If you’re like us, you can’t get enough of tzatziki! Whether it is served with a pita, part of a mouthwatering yiro, or accompanied on a calamari or seafood platter, tzatziki is one of the things we love most about Greek cuisine! Home-style Greek yoghurt combined with grated cucumber and a hint of garlic – be sure to order a side of this delicious dip next time you’re at Mythos.
