ground, Not much more
than slapdash fast food out-
lets and culturally bankrupt
mercantile efforts as far as
the eve could see.

A place in dire need of
some passion and poctry.

Mythos opened in August
of that year and never looked
back.

Bazouki music and hot-
blooded Mediterranean ener-
gy invigorated a cultural dead
zone.

It was another Greek
myth in the making with a
neighborhood of willing par-
ticipants whose ranks have
grown with the passing vears.

And why not? the waiters
dance, the fireplace crackles
and frontman Angelo A
treats one and alll like persen-
al guests to his own living
room.

And that is what Mythos is:
4 good approximation of a
warm Greek household.

The restaurant’s decor
avoids the more garish
extravagances of Greco-
Canadian kitsch, sticking
instead to a more sophisticat-
ed combination of wood and
tile.

Internal warmth is provid-
ed by a gas fireplace, a large
open bar and small details
such as fresh carnations at
the table.

The Mythos menu, mean-
while, sticks more to tradi-
tional Greek dishes and
avoids sideways detours into
pizza and lengthy pasta fist:
ings.

Entrees (S12 to $19) fea-
ture adventures in Limb,
chicken and seatood that
remain at the core of Greek
cookery (Lamb Chops, Lamb
Spinach Chickpea Casserole,
Roasted Flalf Chicken,
Salmon Skaras).
