History

Established in 2011.

MP Taverna, Chef Michael Psilakis’s modern interpretation of a traditional Greek tavern, is an exciting addition to the Long Island dining scene. Open for lunch and dinner, MP Taverna’s accessible, Greek-​inspired menu brings Psilakis’ Greek fare into the American culinary lexicon and is another step towards the chef’s goal of putting Greek cuisine on the culinary main stage. Psilakis opened the first of three MP Taverna restaurants, his modern interpretation of a traditional Greek tavern, in May 2011 in Roslyn, NY followed by a second location in Irvington, NY a year late. In April 2013 he opened the third restaurant in the historic Hellenic epicenter of Astoria, Queens.
