Best Dishes at Mavrommatis
Fresh Fish of the Day
MainsThe seafood changes based on what's best at the market. Whole fish (often Mediterranean types) are grilled simply — the kitchen's respect for the ingredient means excellent sourcing combined with minimal intervention. This dish showcases why the restaurant is considered one of Paris's best seafood restaurants alongside its Greek excellence.
Lamb Chops
MainsGreek lamb sourced for quality and age, grilled to medium-rare with a crust. Paired with seasonal vegetables and a refined sauce that complements rather than masks the meat. The simplicity of the preparation allows the quality of the lamb to be apparent — this is cooking built on respect for ingredient rather than elaborate technique.
Langoustine
MainsA standout dish according to multiple reviews — langoustine (Norway lobster) prepared simply to let the sweet, delicate meat shine. Grilled with minimal intervention and finished with citrus and fresh herbs. This represents the level of technique and ingredient quality that justifies Mavrommatis's Michelin star.
Greek Yogurt with Honey and Nuts
DessertA simple but perfect dessert that honors Greek tradition — thick, creamy yogurt (sometimes made in-house) drizzled with warm honey and topped with toasted walnuts or almonds. The richness of the yogurt against the sweetness of honey and crunch of nuts is understated elegance. Many reviewers note this as a fitting, light finale after the seafood courses.
Greek Salad
StartersMavrommatis reimagines the Greek salad with refined plating and exceptional ingredients — this is not your standard taverna version. Fresh tomatoes, creamy feta, Kalamata olives, and a perfect ratio of olive oil create a dish that reviewers describe as inventive yet honoring tradition. The simplicity allows ingredient quality to shine.

Book the Signature Menu at €150 (7 courses) rather than dining à la carte — it's the best way to experience the chef's vision and offers better value than ordering individual mains.
The wine list focuses on Greek wines that work beautifully with the menu — ask the sommelier for pairings rather than ordering by familiar regions.
Reserve well in advance — this is a small, acclaimed restaurant and tables fill weeks ahead, especially for dinner service.
