Mythos Greek Souvlakis

Mythos Greek Souvlakis brings the authentic flavors of Greece to Christchurch's vibrant culinary scene. Established by a Greek-Kiwi family with deep roots in Mediterranean culinary traditions, Mythos offers a genuine taste of Greek street food adapted to New Zealand's fresh local ingredients.

The restaurant's name "Mythos" draws from Greek mythology and storytelling, reflecting the owners' desire to share not just Greek food, but the rich cultural heritage and traditions surrounding Mediterranean dining. The interior features a contemporary take on traditional Greek tavernas, with blue and white accents, rustic wooden tables, and an open kitchen where diners can watch their souvlaki being prepared to order.

At the heart of Mythos' menu are their signature souvlakis – marinated meats grilled to perfection, wrapped in warm, fluffy pita bread, and garnished with fresh vegetables, house-made tzatziki, and other traditional Greek sauces. The restaurant takes pride in their authentic preparation methods, with meat cooked on vertical rotisseries and skewers over open flames, just as you would find on the streets of Athens.

Beyond souvlakis, Mythos offers a range of Greek specialties, from crispy spanakopita (spinach and feta pastries) to fresh Greek salads topped with locally-sourced ingredients and imported Greek feta. The restaurant maintains a commitment to quality and authenticity while adapting to local tastes and dietary requirements, including offering halal options for many of their meat dishes. This dedication to both tradition and innovation has made Mythos a beloved destination for both Greek expatriates seeking a taste of home and Christchurch locals eager to experience the Mediterranean's renowned flavors.
