Culinary innovation deepens the impression. Menus favor seasonal brightness, charcoal notes, and shared plates that invite interaction.

Signature Cocktails and Thoughtful Wine Pairings
While the menu sets the tone, Meraki’s bar program completes the experience with cocktails and pairings that mirror the cuisine’s bright, herbal profile. Precision mixing leans on Mediterranean botanicals—masticha, thyme honey, citrus leaf, and rosemary—balanced with clean spirits. Each glass arrives with artistic presentation: frosted coupes, olive-leaf garnishes, and mineral salt rims echoing island terroir.
Innovative ingredients like fig shrub, saffron bitters, and smoked bergamot elevate classics without overpowering the food.
The wine list favors Greek appellations and select European producers, prioritizing texture and salinity.
