Parea Greek Taverna recently opened in Maitland, taking over the space that used to be Outpost Kitchen. Parea Greek Taverna is brought to Maitland by the same team behind the well-known Bosphorus Turkish Cuisine in Winter Park and Lake Nona.
This restaurant brings traditional Greek food with a few modern touches, offering a menu full of options for anyone who enjoys Mediterranean flavors.
The Food and Drinks:
We started with the mezze appetizer, which had a good variety of small bites. The standout for me was the caviar dip—strong in flavor and a nice addition to the spread.
For the main course, I ordered the lamb chops, which were cooked well and had a great flavor. It was paired with the charred lemon and potatoes.
To finish the meal, I tried the baklava. It was larger than I expected and clearly made in-house. Unlike most baklava, it wasn’t overly sweet, which I appreciated.
The restaurant also has a creative cocktail menu. The drinks we tried were well-made and paired nicely with the meal.
Atmosphere and Service:
We sat at the bar, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, making it an easy place to enjoy a meal.
Pricing:
Prices at Parea are reasonable for the quality of the food. Appetizers run about $10–$15, and main courses are in the $25–$35 range. It’s a great spot for a casual night out or a special dinner.
Summary:
Parea Greek Taverna is a solid addition to Maitland’s dining scene. The food is well-prepared, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is welcoming. If you like Greek food, it’s worth checking out.
