The Tomahawk Steak (£34.95) and Ribeye Steak (£22.95) offer carnivorous indulgence with rich, robust flavors complemented by expert grilling techniques. Seafood lovers delight in the fresh Seabass and Sea Bream (£24.95 each), with the beautifully grilled octopus (£21.95) a standout for its tender texture and smoky glaze. For a luxurious treat, the Lobster and the tempting Fish Platter for Two (£54.95) are sure to impress.
The sensory experience is heightened not just through the food but also through the vibrant atmosphere. Guests consistently praise the authentic decor and the warm, welcoming environment that feels like a joyous gathering in a Greek taverna.

We had an incredible experience at Mykonos Tavern in Olton. Miranda, the manager, was exceptionally welcoming and made us feel right at home with her warm hospitality. Alex provided outstanding service, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The entertainment was fantastic—Tony’s lively dancing brought smiles all around, while George’s guitar playing and singing added a charming touch. The food was simply excellent, served in generous portions and bursting with flavor. Our evening, from 7:30 PM to 11:00 PM, was filled with laughter, great music, and delicious cuisine. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for such a memorable night. Highly recommended!
