Mamakas Taverna
Toronto, ON
Mamakas is an elegant 85-seat Greek taverna on Ossington Ave. Owner Thanos Tripi brings a fresh, authentic approach to Aegean food, offering classical Greek dishes against a contemporary canvas. Each plate is thoughtfully crafted to evoke the way Thanos? grandmother cooked, inviting guests to explore the Greece he grew up with through food, art and music.
Meant to mimic an open market, the room is built of white concrete blocks creating an effect similar to the stucco seen throughout Greece. Mamakas is a nod to heritage, history and family memories ? the daily trip to the market for ripe and fragrant tomatoes. Visiting a trusted butcher for fresh paithakia, and the local fish monger for the daily catch. Recipes passed down through generations. Honest Greek fare with a modern twist. Designed to share. Everything just as Thanos? family has done through the ages.
