mythos

the food atmythosis delicious. i always prefer the meze selection but the last time i ate there i ordered off the menu and was surprised by the quality of their main courses. the drinks are a bit overpriced in my opinion but the food is quality and the service top notch.

my friends and i recently had the pleasure of enjoying lunch atmythoslast week. i was impressed with the vegetarian options available. i cannot remember the name of the meal i had but it was mushrooms, spinach and feta! the food was fresh and delicious. the ambiance was inviting a glass or two of wine so ofcourse we obliged. for dessert we devoured the macaroons. i love macaroons but many places that offer macaroons usually fall short.mythosdid not disappoint. such a pleasant experience. #tastejoburg

i write this review with a measure of reluctance although i feel compelled to do so: reluctance because i have had many memorable meals atmythosover the years, but i cannot ignore the objectionable service i received on 1 september 2015. i ordered one of my favourite dishes on the menu, garida (prawn) linguine (priced at r115) which supposedly includes 6 prawns, five in the dish itself and one as garnish on top of the dish. when the waiter served the dish, i could not find reasonable evidence of six prawns in the dish: the queen-sized prawn used as garnish was fine, and according to expected standards, but in the dish itself i found either five totally overcooked diminutive prawns (shrimp-sized) or five totally overcooked fragments of prawns which collectively would not amount to more than two and a half queen-sized prawns. when i challenged the waiter about the lack of prawns in the dish, he reported the matter to the floor manager, who ignored me and could not be bothered by the issue. he merely continued to chat with waitresses who were not serving tables at the time. as such, the dish basically amounted to linguine with a béchamel sauce and a few lost and totally overcooked fragments of prawn. a bit steep at r115, i would think.

was our first visit tomythosand definitely not the last 😀😀.

the food was extremely tasty and well prepared. there was enough choices for vegetarians.

service was also quite good. the restaurant has a nice busy vibe 😊. a good idea to rather make a reservation.

are you looking for something completely different? if somythosmight just do it for you. their meza platters to share are great and open your word up to different types of food you don't exactly eat every day.

this is a lovelymythosbranch with above average service from well-trained servers. the decor is lovely and transports you to the greek isles. the food is great, offering all the traditional greek dishes that you would expect. it tends not to get as busy as the other restaurants at the square so it makes for a quieter, more romantic dinner option.

atmythosone can enjoy different types of meze platters, and a host of authentic greek dishes – kleftico being my favorite. the crisp uncluttered decor of white with shades of blue and green compliment the food by providing a serene mediterranean ambiance. 7 different types of combo menus on offer is a great way to enjoy varied greek food at a price which suits ones pocket. the staff is ever smiling and eager to serve.
