Eléa, the modern split-level Greek restaurant, has a sunny and welcoming atmosphere, with a big bar and plentiful tables. Eléa shares design and menu similarities with Kyma, its downtown sibling. Eggplant-zucchini chips with tzatziki dip and fried piquant kefalograviera cheese are an absolute must. From the raw bar, get yellow fin tuna tartare. Grilled lamb chops and creamy seafood orzotto laced with Metaxa brandy shine among the delicious main courses.

The architecturally stunning Via 57 West residential building on the Hudson waterfront houses a dazzling Mediterranean oasis, Ousia. Given that the Greek Livanos family (Molyvos, Oceana) is behind the place, it’s no surprise that there’s plenty of seafood on the menu alongside Greek salad, cheeses, spreads and grilled chicken or filet mignon souvlaki.

Periyali, a Flatiron District favorite, was one of the first Greek bistros in Manhattan to offer refined, gourmet interpretations of Greek classics such as spanakopita, moussaka, and tomato-stewed rabbit. The upscale, whitewashed décor speaks to the number of fresh seafood dishes on the menu, and the noted wine list is considered a pioneer in drawing attention to the award-winning wines of Greece.
