Rach experienced a slice of Santorini at brand new restaurant Zues Taverna on Castle Street 😍👏👇

Arriving in the heart of Liverpool as Zeus Taverna officially opens its doors on Thursday, April 3rd, on the bustling foodie hotspot of Castle Street.

Inspired by the vibrant atmosphere of the Greek islands, particularly the beloved holiday destination of Santorini, Zeus Taverna promises an authentic experience with its textured whitewashed walls, turquoise blue accents, and hand-painted depictions of Greek gods and goddesses. 

The restaurant’s décor has been thoughtfully designed to capture the essence of traditional Greek tavernas, creating a welcoming and immersive environment for diners.

The menu features a delectable selection of tapas and small plates, including much-loved Greek classics such as souvlaki, moussaka, kleftiko, and appetizers like tzatziki and dolmades.

Alongside traditional offerings, Zeus Taverna introduces unique seafood dishes, with octopus, prawns, and mussels taking center stage, as well as fresh and vibrant specialty salads.

This is one spot you will want to check out 🇬🇷
