What Are Greek Mezes?

In Greece, mezes (or mezedes) are more than just appetizers—they’re a way of life. These small, shareable dishes are designed to bring people together, encouraging conversation, laughter, and a leisurely enjoyment of food. From creamy dips and tangy salads to grilled meats and fresh seafood, mezes are the heart of Greek social dining.

At Mykonos Kitchen & Bar, we take pride in offering an extensive selection of traditional Greek mezes in Sunny Isles Beach, each prepared with the same care and authenticity you’d find in a taverna on the islands of Mykonos or Santorini. Our mezes are perfect for starting your meal, pairing with a glass of ouzo or Assyrtiko wine, or even enjoying as a full feast.

Explore Our Menu: A Taste of Greece in Every Bite

Our menu is a celebration of Greece’s diverse culinary traditions. When you explore our menu, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of mezes, entrees, and desserts that showcase the best of Greek cuisine. Here’s a closer look at some of our most beloved mezes:

1. Classic Greek Dips: The Perfect Start to Your Meal

No Greek meal is complete without a selection of dips, and at Mykonos Kitchen & Bar, we serve them with warm, freshly baked pita bread.

• Tzatziki: A refreshing blend of yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill, our tzatziki is cool, creamy, and bursting with flavor. It’s the ideal companion to grilled meats or as a dip for crispy pita.
• Hummus: While hummus is enjoyed across the Middle East, our version is infused with a touch of lemon and olive oil, giving it a distinctly Greek twist.
• Melitzanosalata: This smoky eggplant dip is made with roasted eggplants, garlic, and a hint of vinegar, creating a rich, velvety texture that’s simply irresistible.
• Fava: A traditional yellow split pea purée, our fava is topped with caramelized onions and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It’s a staple in Greek homes and a must-try for first-timers.

2. Fresh Salads: Bright, Bold, and Full of Flavor

Greek salads are known for their simplicity and freshness, and ours are no exception.

• Horiatiki (Greek Village Salad): A classic combination of ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, red onions, Kalamata olives, and creamy feta cheese, all dressed with olive oil and oregano. This salad is a refreshing burst of Mediterranean flavors.
• Dakos: A Cretan specialty, dakos features a base of crispy barley rusk topped with chopped tomatoes, myzithra cheese, olives, and capers. It’s a light yet satisfying dish that’s perfect for warm Florida days.

3. Grilled and Fried Delights: Mezes with a Crunch

For those who love a little crunch, our grilled and fried mezes are sure to impress.

• Spanakopita: Flaky phyllo pastry stuffed with spinach, feta, and herbs, then baked to golden perfection. This savory pie is a crowd-pleaser and a staple of Greek cuisine.
• Tyropita: If you love cheese, you’ll adore our tyropita. Layers of phyllo are filled with a mixture of feta, ricotta, and herbs, creating a gooey, delicious bite.
• Kalamarakia (Fried Calamari): Tender squid rings are lightly battered and fried until crispy, then served with a side of lemon and our signature skordalia (garlic dip).
• Saganaki: A beloved Greek appetizer, saganaki is a slice of graviera cheese that’s pan-fried until golden and served sizzling with a squeeze of lemon. It’s a must-order for cheese lovers!

4. Seafood Mezes: A Taste of the Aegean Sea

Given our waterfront location, it’s no surprise that seafood plays a starring role on our menu.

• Grilled Octopus: One of our most popular dishes, our octopus is marinated in olive oil, lemon, and oregano, then grilled to tender perfection. It’s served with a side of fava dip and a sprinkle of sea salt.
• Garides Saganaki: Succulent shrimp are cooked in a rich tomato-feta sauce with a touch of ouzo, creating a dish that’s both hearty and full of flavor.
• Midia (Mussels): Steamed in a white wine and garlic broth, our mussels are plump, juicy, and perfect for soaking up with a piece of crusty bread.

5. Meat Lovers’ Mezes: Hearty and Satisfying

For those who prefer something more substantial, our meat mezes are a fantastic choice.

• Soutzoukakia: Spiced Greek meatballs simmered in a rich tomato sauce, these are a favorite among our regulars.
• Keftedes: Juicy herbed meatballs, fried to a golden brown and served with tzatziki for dipping.
• Loukaniko: Traditional Greek sausage, seasoned with orange peel and fennel, then grilled to perfection. It’s a flavorful bite that pairs beautifully with a glass of red wine.

6. Vegetarian Mezes: Fresh and Flavorful

Vegetarians will find plenty to love on our menu, thanks to Greece’s abundance of fresh produce and creative vegetarian dishes.

• Dolmades: Grape leaves stuffed with herbed rice, pine nuts, and currants, then steamed until tender. These bite-sized delights are as delicious as they are beautiful.
• Gemista: Tomatoes and bell peppers stuffed with herbed rice and baked until tender. This dish is a summer staple in Greece and a great way to enjoy the season’s bounty.
• Kolokithokeftedes: Zucchini and feta fritters, lightly fried and served with a dollop of tzatziki. They’re crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor.
