Traditional dancers entertain on Friday and Saturday evenings.
We also serve beer, wine and spirits.
At Yiannis Taverna, we believe that dining is not just about the food, but also about the experience.
Our intimate setting is perfect for a romantic evening for two, while our spacious dining area can easily accommodate groups of up to 80 people. Private celebrations can be booked in our Kasbar Lounge.
Immerse yourself in the rich culture of Greek dining, where every dish is bursting with flavour and character. Let us take you on a journey through the tastes and aromas of Greece, and create lasting memories around our table.
We combine traditional preparations with local ingredients for dishes that are authentic to both their Greek origins and Whyte Avenue setting.
