Mythos

Had a work year end dinner here . Table was set up for us on arrival. Considering we were a very large group service was fair - but could have been better. I struggled to get the attention of the waiters between meals and had to request the same order more than once before it came. A few of our main plates and next plates from starters were not cleared until just before we left our seats to gather for photos. But the food itself was good and wait time for everyone to get their meals was very quick and all at once. Nice aesthetic, good menu variety and decent spot if you’re looking for a yummy Greek spot. Probably have an easier time and better service in a standard group size table.

In the past, we've loved visiting the Mythos Greek restaurant inside Montecasino. With Covid, they closed down. Nikos, another Greek restaurant is now there ... but it's just not the same. Yesterday on our way back from Eastgate, we decided to try the Mythos in Design Quarter. It was around 16h30. My golly, they have such interesting specials! Tuesdays (after 5pm) you can choose 3 starter plates for R159. On a Monday, you'll get R100 off their sharing platters. Check their Sunday prawn special! We really wanted a meze platter to share - what a pity it was Tuesday!!!! But at R399 it was worth it!!!! I had a Greek coffee first and Hein a glass of crisp white wine. Manager Quentin had a lovely chat with us. Love the 'crochet' umbrellas and the artwork on the walls inside. The fake olive trees are gorgeous!!!!!!! I actually touched them to see if they're real or fake. Going to the bathroom - quite a few steps to the next level, but love the decor. Our platter arrived. Looked amazing!!! The prawns were mine - the heads were super juice and the rest just perfect!!!! Dipped them in the white taramasalata dip (all mine, since Hein really doesn't like too fishy stuff). Calamari tubes tender and delicious! The skewers were fab, beef strips salty and saucy! Pita breads like plumb pillows .... and the lamb meatballs - to die for!!!!!!!!!!!!! The chicken livers - oh my - I wanted to just dunk my head into that sauce ..... absolutely fantastic! Livers juicy and tender! Stuffed but happy - we will be back!!!!
