About Taverna Mykonos
Taverna Mykonos is a venue in Elmwood Park with a schedule available for Tuesday through Sunday and a Monday closure. Beyond its city and schedule, specific public details are limited, so planning should stay practical: use the hours to decide when it fits, and check the venue's own channels for current menu, pricing, reservations, and service details before you go.
Planning Notes
Without those details, the safest approach is to treat Taverna Mykonos as a local Elmwood Park option whose main planning value is its operating schedule.
That makes comparison shopping useful if your visit depends on a specific format, budget, menu item, or service style. If timing is the priority, Taverna Mykonos is closed Monday, open from 11 AM to 10 PM Tuesday through Thursday, open from 11 AM to 11 PM Friday and Saturday, and open from 11 AM to 10 PM Sunday.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Taverna Mykonos reads like a compact, neighborhood Greek taverna transplanted to Bergen County: a small room, a tight kitchen and an understated approach to Aegean flavors. The writing emphasizes restraint over spectacle, with sourcing and simple preparations taking center stage. Regulars and local community rhythms shape the pace; dishes express pantry staples, extra‑virgin olive oil, hillside herbs and regionally specific cheeses. The result is a quietly authentic, cozy place that favors familiarity and ingredient logic over theatrical presentation.
Best For
This is a neighborhood spot made for repeat visits and communal, down‑to‑earth dining. The taverna’s focus on day‑fresh ingredients and preserved pantry items suits families, local groups and anyone seeking an unpretentious meal anchored in traditional Aegean cooking. It fits weeknight dinners and casual gatherings where the quality of sourcing and straightforward preparation matter. Expect a relaxed, conversational setting where the food’s provenance drives the experience.
Ordering Tips
Order with the seasonality in mind: look for whole fish prepared simply, and ask about salt‑preserved anchovies and avgotaraho (cured roe), as well as regional cheeses like feta and graviera. Favor dishes that showcase olive oil, dried hillside herbs and straightforward cooking; ask staff what is freshest that day to get the most authentic taverna experience.

Restaurant context
How It Compares
Choose Taverna Mykonos when booking ease and a social room matter more than a destination-level dining brief. Compared with Portuguese Tavern or La Fortaleza Lodi, it reads as the lower-friction choice for an Elmwood Park plan, especially when the group wants a lively dinner without overthinking the format.
If the occasion needs a more polished feel, compare it with Cafe 37, Village Green, and Felina before deciding. Those are the smarter cross-shops when ambiance and experience quality matter more than pure convenience.
Value comes down to the brief: Taverna Mykonos is the safer pick for an easy group meal, while Cafe 37, Village Green, or Felina make more sense for diners trying to turn dinner into the centerpiece of the night.
