Mythos is conveniently located near Stauffacherplatz, a mixture of business and nightlife district. I discovered the restaurant with my work colleagues while working nearby: it was our favorite in a neighborhood full of alternatives.
Finding a table around noon during working days is a challenge. So be advised: either reserve or go early (at 11:30).
During the warm season there are tables outside. They cannot be reserved.
Greek cuisine is famous for its appetizers. Mythos offers a representative variety of dishes, starting with the famous Greek salad (tomatoes, feta, onions, etc. all with Greek olive oil) and moving higher to more sophisticated plates like “Garides (Shrimp) Saganaki (baked with feta cheese)”.
From the main dishes I prefer the Souvlaki which comes in the usual two versions: on a straw or as a pita-bread wrap. In this latter version, one senses the erratic quality gap of Mythos with respect to similar offerings in Greece. Simply put: in Greece, Souvlaki is often junk food. In Mythos, Souvlaki is gourmet kitchen. Visitors wishing to avoid the traditional version of Souvlaki with pork meat can try the chicken or the shrimp versions.
Mythos offers a superb price quality ratio. It is a great tip for an informal lunch or dinner before going to one of the many bars, night clubs or cinemas nearby.
In February 2018 Mythos expanded doubling its size in the interior as well as for the tables outside.
