Traditional Cypriot restaurant features tapas-style mezes and live weekend entertainment.

In Short
With a bar shaped like an ancient boat and decor awash in yellow, green, white and red, this restaurant pays tribute to the island nation of Cyprus. The menu features a variety of traditional dishes like hummus, talatouri (homemade yogurt with cucumber and mint), grilled meat or seafood souvlaki. Dishes are available a la carte, but are best enjoyed as a meze, or tapas-style mixture of plates.

Message from Venus:

Experience Chicago's only Mediterranean Cypriot Cuisine. Feast on the unique cuisine of Cyprus influenced by Middle Eastern, French, Italian and British invaders. Venus offers what a truly unique dining experience should be as it is a treat not only for the palate, but also for the eyes and ears as well. Dine in the vibrant Mediterranean surroundings; palm plants, green-shuttered window frames and a bar made to look like an ancient Greek warship. The preferred menu selection is the 14-course mezes, offering a mixture of traditional Cypriot dishes and several traditional Greek dishes.
