Snack Taverna - New York, New York

This was such a cute spot to walk into on a week night. We went around 7pm on a Wednesday and the restaurant was at about 20% capacity. The food was good and the vibe was chill and great for talking. I like this spot for girls nights as well as a more intimate date.

I truly feel I found a hidden gem in this restaurant that’s located in one of my favorite neighborhoods in New York. This restaurant is absolutely fabulous! It is also very reasonably priced. Our waitress was ver kind to us. I’m always on the lookout for a restaurant that serves brunch because I love having breakfast and brunch. When I read the menu that it serves oatmeal I absolutely had to come because it’s very hard to find a restaurant that serves great oatmeal. The dish is called Oatmeal “Cappuccino”. I thought it was very creative to put steamed milk on top of the oatmeal. I loved it! The Pullman bread was very delicious served with seasonal jam and apple butter. That’s also something I’ve never seen before as well. I’ve never seen a restaurant serve apple butter. My friend ordered the scrambled eggs with home fries and salad. She loved the vinaigrette on top of the salad. She thoroughly enjoyed her meal very much. I will definitely come back because there are other things I really want to try. I’m so happy I discovered this restaurant. I highly recommend it to everyone.

The best branzino I have ever tried. Lots of healthy options and a great ambiance. Portions are big and that I really enjoyed!!! The sampler was delicious as well. Cappuccino was delicious. Would be back soon!!!! Highly recommending!!!!!

A quaint Greek eatery in the west village that is great for a casual dinner. The “whole shebang” and lamb triangles are two items I highly recommend from the whole menu. The service can be slow when they are busy, but no rush at all, they are attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back!

We tried Snack Taverna for lunch and enjoyed our visit. There were very few guests dining at the time we visited so we got right in. We started with the hummus which was good. The pita bread is great! I had the shrimp soulvaki which I really liked. I only wish it came with a few extra shrimp. My husband had the Chopped Salad with Chicken and he thought it was great. I tried the diet cola which I wasn’t a fan of as it tasted super sweet. However, it was from a local company so I think it’s great that they support the local community. The server was great which I feel is difficult to come by in NYC. He was attentive and checked on us after our food came out. We would return.

It is a very cozy and quiet place. All dishes were incredibly tasty and large. You can easily fill up on healthy Greek cuisine

These two dishes were exquisite. The depth and complexity of the flavors, reflect the abundance of spices that went into them. Also the bread was warm. 9/10.

1. lamb triangles (spiced lamb, capers, graviera cheese baked in phyllo)
2. muhammara (red pepper, pomegranate, walnuts, harissa and peasant bread)
