Athenian Restaurant Taverna Ermou Is Coming to London

"The group is bringing its Taverna Ermou brand to the capital and opening a 120-cover restaurant in Marylebone this March, making it the first time it's been taken outside of Greece. Culinary Director Panagiotis Xanthis has said the menu will be inspired by Greek culinary traditions and focused around what the team describes as a "fish soul"."

"The menu will feature a selection of cold and warm dips, meze plates, salads, classic Taverna Ermou pot and grill dishes, pastas, and signature desserts, with seafood featuring pretty extensively throughout the offerings."

"There's been a steady wave of Greek openings in London over the past couple of years and with this, and another Athenian taverna from the Mazi team coming soon, it looks like it could be cresting again."

Ergon, a Greek hospitality group, is expanding internationally by opening Taverna Ermou in Marylebone, London, marking the brand's first location outside Greece. The 120-cover restaurant will open in March 2026 at 38-40 James Street. Culinary Director Panagiotis Xanthis designed the menu around Greek culinary traditions with a strong emphasis on seafood, described as the restaurant's "fish soul." The offering includes cold and warm dips, meze plates, salads, traditional pot and grill dishes, pastas, and signature desserts. This opening reflects a growing trend of Greek restaurant openings in London, with additional Athenian establishments expected to launch soon.
