Four months after Salty Nun closed its doors for good at 2501 Central Avenue, a new restaurant has taken over.
Mythos Greek Bistro opened earlier this month, transforming the casual spot with upscale Mediterranean aesthetics.
Yes, the outdoor swings are gone, but now you can get tableside flaming saganaki in the same spot. And the Nun’s old stage is still set for live entertainment.
Mythos’ menu includes classic spreads and small plates, kebab platters, branzino, lamb chops and Scottish salmon.
Chef Konstantinos “Dinos” Chilias, who co-owns the spot with business partner Daniel Marina, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that he isn’t worried about Baba being just a block away. He said he sees Mythos as being a more casual, family-friendly bistro.
“This is a little bit different,” Chilias told CL. “I’m from Greece…It’s two different things.”
Chilias also runs La Creperia Cafe in Ybor City and previously operated the Crepeway Cafe in St. Pete’s EDGE District.
Mythos Greek Bistro is open Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday 4 p.m.-10 p.m.; 4 p.m.-11 p.m. Thursday; Friday-Saturday 4 p.m.-3 a.m. It’s closed on Mondays. Visit mythosgreekbistro.com or follow @mythosgreekbistro on Instagram for updates.
The restaurant does not yet have its liquor license, but Chilias expects it to be ready in the next two weeks.
