A Traditional Greek Taverna - A Hidden Find on Queen Anne

  • Characteristic Dishes
  • Lovingly Crafted
  • Traditional Greek Restaurant

Perhaps the most wonderful thing about dining in Greece is that people linger over their food & drink, talking, laughing & remembering. In traditional Greek culture, dinner is the main event. Linger with us for a while & let us show you what we mean.

In the menu, you will not encounter gyros. Instead, the range of selections offered here represents the true splendor of Greek regional cuisine, characteristic dishes lovingly crafted just as they are in traditional kitchens of all the far-flung towns of Greece. Balancing this rich & varied menu is an equally fine list of Greek wines. Drawn from vintners all around the Hellenic peninsula, these are varieties that will surprise & delight the newcomer to Greek dining. Round off your evening with a cup of Greek coffee & a sweet slice of baklava.
And whatever you do, while you are here with us, please do not feel that you must hurry.

"Favorite Restaurant" by mikaela (42 reviews)
March 20, 2010 - Really likes it - This is hands down my new favorite restaurant. Walking in to the Taverna, you are welcomed by a warm, homey atmosphere, smiles behind the counter, and "Opa" coming from the back room. The service was superb and food was extraordinary. Cooked to perfection, with fantastic different flavors and variety. I cannot rave enough about this place, you just must go and try for yourself. It warms the heart.

"Authentic Greek Cuisine" by mariavucheva (2 reviews)
March 02, 2010 - Panos has always been amazing! Both their food and service are outstanding. Growing up, I spent a lot of time in Greece every summer and it has been hard finding a Greek restaurant in Seattle that can measure up. Their calamari, greek salad and roasted lamb baked in sourdough bread make me keep going back because I truly crave it all.

"Best Greek in Seattle" by mahalie (18 reviews)
September 10, 2009 - Really likes it - Wow. I can't afford to eat here often and I still fantasize about my first experience. The fried feta, the octopus (I didn't think I even liked octopus!). Everything was savory and the service was personal and delightful. This place is an intimate little gem.

Phone mobile review by Sarah Joers (8 reviews)
July 30, 2009 - Likes it - Loved food, good prices too. No a/c so don't go on the hottest day of the year like I did! Friendly staff, good baked feta! Small restaurant so parties over 6 wouldn't do well.

"I Love Panos Kleftiko" by I Like Pie (16 reviews)
June 20, 2009 - Really likes it - This is the best restaurant in Seattle. I went there during the summer and tried it. It is a very good replica of a restaurant that there would be in an actual Greek town.
I Like Pie.

"A refreshing change for those adjusting to local tastes" by Gareth J (14 reviews)
March 08, 2008 - Likes it - Only had a quick one-course pre-show dinner here, which doesn't really do the menu justice as its clearly designed to be eaten mezze style.
Nice simple dishes. Tasty, good quality lamb. Warm, friendly service. Not much of a beer selection.
Best of all, it didn't feel like it had been designed to appeal to a Seattle market - once seated you could be in a Greek taverna anywhere in europe, maybe even Greece!  A real escape.

"Good food!" by Kate (56 reviews)
November 10, 2007 - Likes it - Panos is a great standby in the theatre district of Lower Queen Anne. It's not as small as it used to be: they've opened a back room. Dishes I especially recommend are the tzatziki and the (I think it's called) Kleftiko - lamb, feta, and onions baked inside a sourdough round. Yum. Warning to diners: try to avoid sitting near the door. It is drafty and cold everytime someone goes in or out.

"Panos in my heart" by Diner Diva (25 reviews)
July 06, 2007 - Likes it - I moved away from Seattle recently, and to be honest, I don't miss much. But, I do miss Panos Kleftiko with a passion. What I wouldn't give for their unpretentious taverna food, prepared with love by Panos himself and lovingly served up by his wife. Their place is tiny - about 10 tables - but it only adds to their 'mom-n-pop' charm. Yassu Panos!
