MP Taverna Greek Restaurant, New York, NY

MP Taverna, Chef Michael Psilakis’s modern interpretation of a traditional Greek tavern, is an exciting staple in the Westchester dining scene, located steps from the Metro North Railroad and a stone’s throw from the Hudson River. Open for lunch and dinner, MP Taverna’s accessible, Greek-inspired menu brings Psilakis’ Greek fare into the American culinary lexicon and is another step towards the chef’s goal of putting Greek cuisine on the culinary main stage.

Chef recommends dining the Greek way which means starting off with meze (appetizers) for the table.  This can include Octopus with a Mediterranean chickpea salad; salads like our Tomato Salad with string beans, grilled onions and feta or one of our signature dips like Eggplant with roasted peppers and garlic. Select an entrée for yourself or continue the meal family style over items like Grilled Branzino with fingerling potatoes, cherry tomatoes and olives; Lamb Shank served with orzo and root vegetables in a lamb jus and Greek Paella, comprised of shellfish, spicy lamb sausage and orzo. Simply grilled options have a place on the menu, as well, and include Chicken, Salmon, Swordfish and a “Fish of the Day.”
