For the last ten years, Mezzé Restaurant & Bar has been a destination praised for its savory fare and innovative concept. Offering an array of upscale dishes inspired by the Mediterranean, Mezzé’s menu changes with the seasons, showcasing fresh, local ingredients.

Conveniently located on Lakeshore Avenue, the eatery features an intimate dining room bedecked with warm hues and candlelit tables amid a bustling kitchen backdrop. Best enjoyed in the company of family and friends, Mezzé’s electric atmosphere lures diners to revel late into the night with hearty portions and generous pours.

Small plates such as the eggplant relish and burrata and yellow fin tuna tartare are ideal for sharing while popular entrees—such as the Moroccan lamb shank tagine and Greek chicken casserole—satiate the greatest of appetites. Conclude a memorable meal with a decadent dessert like the warm chocolate croissant bread pudding, served with vanilla bean crème Chantilly.
