March · Montrose
A Montrose tasting-menu restaurant that rotates its focus every six months to a different Mediterranean region. A recent Spain-focused season featured bluefin tuna tartare in a vegetal piperrada broth and deep-fried cod throat, with the whole menu rebuilt each time the region changes.
Niko Niko's · Montrose
A family-run Greek takeout counter in Montrose operating since 1977, known for lamb kebabs and gyros served over seasoned rice with crispy fries on the side. It is a long-running, no-frills spot for a fast, filling Greek plate in the middle of the neighborhood.
Empire Turkish Grill · Memorial
A Memorial Turkish restaurant open for over 20 years, built around mezze platters and grilled kebabs, with a pleasantly gamey fried calf's liver served alongside fresh, thinly sliced onions. The long menu of small plates makes it a good choice for a shared table.
Agnes · Rice Village
An all-day Rice Village Mediterranean café serving a freekeh salad with parmesan alongside flatbreads stuffed with spiced lamb kofta, in a chic, casual setting. It works for a light lunch, a coffee break, or a relaxed early dinner without much fuss.
