Kava Neo-Taverna

Over the past few years, Boston's Greek cuisine sector has experienced significant growth, with establishments such Kava Neo-Taverna, which opened in 2016, among others. With menu items like loukaniko, keftedes, and oktapodi, the restaurant has really carved out a niche for itself in the South End. At this date-night restaurant, savvy eaters will leave room for the honey-drizzled Greek yogurt dessert. Reservations can only be made on the same day, but they are strongly advised.

The menu consists of food imported directly from the Mediterranean as well as dishes made from copies of Greek recipes. Expect a broad variety of mezedes, or small plates, as well as imported feta cheese, horiatiki salad, and a constantly-changing menu of fresh seafood from the Mediterranean, such as lavraki seabass and grilled octopus. Along with the standard selection of spirits and craft beers, the bar is stocked with difficult-to-find Greek wines and liqueurs. Along with pastries like baklava, Greek yogurt, and honey (all imported from Greece), there will be classic frappes and Greek coffee.
