In
Greece, a "taverna" is a lively place where friends
gather
to enjoy drinks, home-style foods, and each other's
company. Plaka Taverna is such a place, owned and
operated by Telly Fatsis, a native Madisonian, who
incorporates many of his Greek mother's recipes into
the menu.
Transformed from the old Cleveland's Diner on E.
Wilson Street (where you still find Telly & brother
Nico serving those delicious
breakfasts),
Plaka Taverna has added Greek
lunches
and
dinners
to the menu as well. Enjoy juicy gyros,
homemade spinach pie, mouthwatering grilled kebobs,
moussaka, hummus, falafel and any of our special
combination platters.
Plaka
features a full bar, with six beers on draft and a
nice selection of bottled beers. Want
the true "taverna" experience? Try one of
Plaka's Greek lagers or a glass of Retsina, the
unique Greek wine. If you dare, take in a shot
of licorice-flavored OUZO. Or for fun...try
one of our creative specialty cocktails, all while
listening to live streaming Greek music!
Once you
try us, you'll be hooked! |

What does "PLAKA" mean?
Plaka is the name of
the old neighborhood in Athens that sits directly
below the Acropolis. With winding streets and
old buildings, you'll be entertained by the unique
cafes, the variety of stores, the museums, and the
eclectic atmosphere.

Most of these posters
adorning the walls of Plaka were sent to us by Zoe, our
artwork source in Athens. As soon as a concert or
other event has occured, she "retrieves" the
advertisement posters, rolls them up and drops them in
the mail to Madison.

Hand-painted wooden signs
like this were common in the old tavernas. This sign
uses the Greek currency that preceeded the Eurodollar,
the Drachma. |
