Face-to-face with the white-washed walls, cave-like ceilings and homely atmosphere of Mythos, it's difficult to believe you're not in Santorini or Mykonos. Situated in the densely populated, skyscraper filled neighbourhood Jumeirah Lake Tower, Mythos manages to take each diner on a journey, both aesthetic and culinary, to the heart of the Greek Mediterranean.
The venue was clearly designed with a classic Greek taverna in mind. The intimate atmosphere is coupled with a winning charm choose between the earthy dining room full of natural light and netural colours, or the cute homely terrace, complete with olive trees and colourful plants, which accomodates those who want to enjoy the fresh air. Mythos has a warm and welcoming charm which keeps regulars coming again and again.
The menu at Mythos is a culinary voyage through traditional Greek cuisine. Its focus is on simplicity and authenticity and it exclusively uses fresh, hand-selected ingredients to create dishes that are true to the Mediterranean lifestyle. Start off with some spicy feta laced with olive oil and a summery Santorini salad before moving onto mains. Indulge yourself with Greek classics like pork souvlaki, chicken gyros and tender beef stifado served with caramelised shallot onions on carob bread. Mythos especially shines when it comes to classic simple tzatziki. Creamy, garlic-saturated and intriguing to the point of addictive, you'll want to put this on everything you order.
Don't stop there. Wash everything down with one of Mythos' signature cocktails - try the Aphrodite's Dream for a smooth almond-infused blend, or Zeus juice if you fancy more of a punch.
When it comes to authentic and delicious Greek food, Mythos is the best in town. If you fancy ordering right to your door, you can browse their deli products on Deliveroo.
