Chicago Guide: Andros Taverna

Andros Taverna

Address | 2542 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

I love Mediterranean cuisine and was really looking forward to our meal at contemporary Greek restaurant, Andros Taverna. Spearheaded by Executive Chef Doug Psaltis the setting and the menu did not disappoint. Located in the heart of Logan Square, Andros Taverna boasts a lively scene in an open and spacious room where fresh tomatoes on the vine line the bar shelves and patrons consist of a mix of couples at intimate two tops and larger parties reveling at big communal type tables. The menu offers a mix of Greek mezze and spreads, grilled meats, and octopus and of course puffy pillows of pita. The Sparta Octopus was the star of this meal for me but I really enjoyed every dish that made it’s way to our table. In addition to incredible foods they have a great cocktail and wine menu. The food, the service, and the ambience at Andros Taverna were incredible and I’m looking forward to going back.
