Greek restaurants in New York City

  1. A

    Thalassa

    Owned by a family of passionate food importers, this upmarket, mosaic-laced spot injects some much needed attitude into Greek nosh (there's even a cheese cave in the basement). Ditch sad souvlakis for refreshing dishes like baby arugula with graviera cheese, beets, walnuts and honey oregano dressing, or super-succulent calamari stuffed with Dodonis fetta, tomato and pine nuts.

    The vibe is stylish yet convivial, and the wine list offers the city's best choice of Hellenic drops.

    Kefi

    This homey, whitewashed eatery run by chef Michael Psilakis channels a sleek taverna vibe while dispensing excellent rustic Greek dishes. Expect favorites like spicy lamb sausage, sheep-milk dumplings and grilled octopus. The platter featuring four types of spreads is delicious, as is the flat pasta with braised rabbit. The wine list features a comprehensive selection of Greek vintages (from $22 per bottle).

    Snack Taverna

    So much more than your usual Greek restaurant, Snack Taverna eschews gyros for a seasonal selection of scrumptious small plates to accompany the flavorful selection of market mains. The regional wines are worth a miss, but the Med beers are surprisingly refreshing.
