Avra is inspired by the seaside tavernas dotted all over Greece’s coast and its more than 200 islands. Our chic restaurants serve unadulterated cuisine where olive oil and sea salt, pristine seafood and vegetables are the stars. Many of our recipes hail from our cofounder Nick Tsoulos and have been passed down in his family over generations. The menu offers endless iterations of fresh fish- familiar favorites such as branzino and black sea bass as well rarer Mediterranean gems like fagri, lithrini and wild branzino. Picking your seafood from our ice display that features in-season catch is a signature part of the Avra experience. Most of the items in our kitchens are from artisanal producers in Greece and throughout the Mediterranean. We travel to family farms in the Peloponnese for our wild-grown oregano and fruity olive oil that’s a staple in almost every dish and rely on cheese producers in the mountains of Greece for our saganaki, halloumi and feta. The search for quality never stops: our founders are always scouting the world to find the highest caliber products available on the market.
