Yiayia

About

Byzantine cuisine, inspired by the recipes of nomadic Greeks.

For Greeks, "Yiayia" is a term of endearment for grandmother, symbolizing love, care, and wisdom. Just like visiting a beloved grandmother, here, guests receive a generous portion of hospitality, hearty servings, and treats for the journey. The restaurant's unique feature lies in its connection to tradition, honoring the past while embracing a modern perspective and utilizing contemporary techniques. It's a handcrafted restaurant, reflected in the wall paintings, the carefully selected tableware sourced from the markets of the Bosphorus, the wooden décor that complements the interior, and the prints on the pillows and textiles. Located on the "zero kilometer" of the city, with a view of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the restaurant is a true oasis in the heart of a bustling metropolis, boasting its own blooming garden, a vineyard, and a fountain.

Yiayia is a restaurant specializing in Byzantine cuisine, evident in the blend of cultures and the fusion of Near Eastern, Caucasian, Mediterranean, and Greek dishes and beverages.
