Vori is a modern Greek taverna in leafy Holland Park, family-run by three brothers who have built something genuinely special — a neighbourhood favourite that reviewers are calling “a modern taverna done right,” nailing “that rare balance of substance and soul.”
The menu travels every corner of Greece, cooked over charcoal with the finest seasonal ingredients — free-range meat from neighbouring Lidgates Butchers, sustainably caught fish landed daily, sourdough from St John Bakery and island specialities from Maltby & Greek. Plates are designed to be shared and served in waves, just like eating at a Greek table at home.
By day, the Dekatiano brunch (Friday to Sunday, 9am to 2pm) brings the Greek breakfast tradition to London with saganaki cheeses, traditional island omelettes and sweet bougatsa. Weekday Souvlaki Lunches channel the energy of Athenian street food, Street Food Thursdays honour Athens’s vibrant souvlaki scene, and every other Wednesday the dining room fills with live Entehno melodies for the Greek Music Night Series.
The all-Greek wine list — unique in the UK — champions a new generation of indigenous, organic and biodynamic winemakers, with every bottle available to take home. For private dining, the semi-private Cyclades room seats 14, or the whole taverna can be hired for up to 40 guests.
