Mythos Meze Bar & Restaurant in Monmouthshire

Bought a groupon voucher to attend here for a surprise Birthday meal, booked a table a week in advance. Arrived to find the restaurant completely closed, there was no attempt from the restaurant to contact me and let me know they were closed. This completely ruined what was meant to be a nice Birthday meal and to top it off I am now out of pocket as we had to get a last minute table in another restaurant and have to wait 2 weeks for Groupon to issue the refund! Definitely do NOT recommend!

Excellent food, service and ambience

Amazing venue with delicious food and super friendly staff. Everything from start to finish was perfect,can't recommend it enough. I hope the business will pick up very quickly,as this restaurant definitely deserves it! X

Authentic Greek restaurant! Great food and experience

Really sweet staff, beautiful food. Huuuuge portions of the most delicious Baklava I’ve ever tasted. Please visit this place, they deserve the custom for sure! The inside looks amazing too, really special. We celebrated my husband’s birthday, we were a group of 10 and everything went smoothly. Meli made us feel really welcome.

Delicious grills. Served by very helpful and friendly waitress. We went on the day following Valentine's so it was very quiet. We could tell the atmosphere would be great when it's a bit fuller.

We dined there last night and we loved the ambient setting along with fantastic service. The food was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended indeed. Ill definitely return.

Never been to a Greek restaurant before and couldn’t have picked a better place to go. Excellent food

Stunning restraunt, great service and really lovely food

Failed to get good out within 3 hours even though preordered. Not the first time we've struggled with waiting times

Amazing food, lovely staff, great atmosphere

The food was delicious. The staff were lovely and friendly. Definitely recommend ❤️

After reading some of the reviews I was sceptical about trying Mythos, but I went last week for the first time and I'd happily go back again very soon! The food was really tasty (I had the vine leaves, lamb chops and greek rosé - all good) and came in large portions, and the service was very good - the waitress who served us was polite, helpful and enthusiastic. I'd definitely recommend it and I'm glad to hear they're opening on more days from now on! EDIT - Since first writing this I've been back a couple of times and while it's a lovely atmosphere with good service, the food is very hit and miss. I've had 2 fantastic meals there and also 2 really poor ones - for one I was served a pork skewer which was really undercooked, which worried me.

What a nice restaurant. Great Greek food! And the staff was working so hard but manage to keep friendly all the time. If you are in the neighbourhood and you like Greek food: GO THERE!

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, but the food is terrible and is the quality you expect from a cheap kebab house, bad quality meat, salad is literally tomato without the core cut out and the feta is very cheap. All in all it was just completely bland and if a Greek or cypriot ever tried there dolmades they would be embarassed. And worst of all they don't sell keo 😞. When explaining to the waitress about the meat she advised the meat wasn't a good cut which is fair enough but why are they serving it ? Will never visit again sadly

Did a great job of preparing gluten free food for my wife. Service took a while but they had to cook it from scratch to avoid gluten contamination

We visited 3 years ago and had a really lovely meal and the service and atmosphere was spot on. It’s a lovely building and very well decorated. However we revisited last night and to say it was really disappointing was an understatement. We arrived at 1830 and the restaurant downstairs was quiet. We were seated and drink and food menus were brought over. The waitress explained there were a few cocktails missing and some dishes missing from the menus. We ordered drinks and were left to look at the food menu. 20 minutes later I asked her to come over so we could order food and asked about our drinks. She explained that the bar staff would not arrive until 1900hrs. My short cocktail then arrived with a very long straw.. I asked for a short one which seemed to put the waitress out a bit and she explained she’d have to cut one in half which I said was fine no problem. Starters arrived not to long after and it was lovely, very nice calamari with olives and pitta. At around 1945 we were told that we would still wait for our main due to a large table upstairs and that the chef was on his own. 2025hrs our main arrived. This is a substantial wait for a main, my arrived the lamb chops and it looked nice, I asked for some vinegar which arrived in a small dish, she apologised and said that the pourers were all dirty! my husbands mixed grill was cold. He ate the rather small lamb chop and also found an item missing from his mixed grill. Then kebabs were stone cold. We asked the waitress over an explained and she took it back to the kitchen, she was gone a few minutes and came back and said you’ve eaten most of it so we can re heat the rest. My husband tried to explain that he’d only had the chop and an item was missing and she dismissed him. We explained we were happy to pay for the rest of the meal but not his as it was as described and it was cold. She walked away from the table and returned a few minutes later and threw the bill down and said I’ve taken £10 off. And walked away. I then had to go to see her to ask to see the manager. The manager came over, we explained that we were happy to pay for the rest of the meal however not the mixed grill. She explained that the chef was stressed due to being on his own and they had a large party upstairs and her staff were not highly trained. She explained that the meal would have been reheated in someone else’s juices in their mixed grill and not microwaved. She deducted the mixed grill from the bill which was appreciated. I feel that this could have been avoided, a large pre booked party and also continuing to take booking means you might need some more staff. It’s the little details that make coming for a meal a good experience. 3 years ago this place was great, now not so much. We wouldn’t revisit. Better value for money, and better service else where.

Arrived and waited over 2 hours for meal then when got meal it was dry the venue looks lovely but service was very poor

I had a really lovely meal here last night, with my family. Good traditional menu and all food cooked from fresh ingredients. The tzatziki was there best I've ever eaten. Lovely atmosphere and kind and attentive staff. I would highly recommend.

Great restraunt, great food, great service. Highly reccomend.

Mythos is a terrific restaurant in Chepstow with fantastic food. I've been here twice, enjoyed both times, and would definitely come back here again. As you can see from the photos, the atmosphere in this place is outstanding. The decor is fabulous and it's got a lovely feel to it. The only downside is there is very little heating, so last time I went for a Christmas do it was very cold and freezing. The food was great and the meal warmed us up, but I definitely wouldn't try this place in the Winter again. Customer service was good. Nothing out of this world, but the servers are attentive. Food-wise is where this place shines. I highly recommend going for the Meze for 2 people, where you get a selection of different goodies to try out. It definitely fills you up and is well worth the money. Don't sleep on their Moussaka or Kleftiko, both absolutely delicious dishes that I would be coming back for.

Delicious and excellent value First time and will definitely be back again. Great choice of food on the menu - particularly for those with dietary restrictions. Really yummy cocktails. We went for a meze/tapas approach of multiple small dishes (starters) and shared them between us which proved a really good choice. Overall, exceptionally positive and delicious experience

A wonderful restaurant with friendly staff. The interior is absolutely stunning!

Such a lovely atmosphere and amazing food! We had such a lovely evening there. The building is outstanding and breathtaking

We ate at Mythos tonight and the food was absolutely phenomenonal. The chef was such a lovely guy and did an excellent job to produce brilliant food despite being on his own in such a busy restaurant! The servers were rushed off their feet as it was so busy, but that didn't stop them from being kind, attentive, professional and brilliant. Every member of staff on tonight is an asset to your restaurant, and we will not hesitate to come back soon. We recommend the burger (yes, really! At a greek restaurant!) and the souvlaki specifically, but everything was delicious. The portions are genuinely massive, and even as people with big appetites we struggled to eat it all! Thank you mythos!

Lovely food and a great atmosphere. The staff were friendly and accommodating

Visited this place 6 years ago and promised myself won’t go again. But for my own misfortune decided to visit again in June 2023 hoping it has changed for the better. I was utterly disappointed. Half of the menu was not available. Food smelled bad as it arrived at our table and everything is rather grubby like old people’s home. Either run it as a drinks place or as a restaurant. Please don’t run both half heartedly. The place has huge potential.

It was absolutely amazing experience 🥰 Thanks everyone for your lovely efforts The chef 👨‍🍳 was young and skilful 🥰 The staff were really professional

Really really lovely. Came here with my partner and baby and the staff couldn’t be more lovely and accommodating! Food was delicious and the cocktails were lovely. Can’t wait to go back again soon!

Beautiful restaurant, fabulous food and excellent, friendly service. Would definitely be coming back

Unfortunately there were only a few diners which was sad. Food and service was good just hope the lack of customers on a Saturday night was a one off, deserve better.

First time at Mythos and won't be the last. Excellent food and wine. Manager lovely. Great night. See you soon. 😊

My girlfriend, John the ghost and I had an amazing meal here for her birthday!

I have full on snowflake diet with a shed load of restrictions most because I am too sensitive, the odd one because its trendy. Eating out is normally a pain, most times its grab some fuel if there is meal that I can eat, sometimes its enjoyable. Got to say Mythos Meze bar catered to all my restrictions easily, with no dramas and I came away with a full belly and big smile. Many Thanks I will be back

Food was excellent. Very tasty and we thought it was good value for money. The decor at the restaurant is lovely and the waiter who served us was very helpful and friendly which really made the experience.

Dire meal, no beers or coffee available, will never return

Our favourite restaurant. Nice inside, food is very good. We always go for meat meze as we enjoy that combo. Service is always good.

Extremely poor service. Food was good. Such a shame. We feel cheated out of £72. Should have gone to Weatherspoons. Would not recommend eating here due to poor service.

Second time visiting as first time was not great so thought give it another chance as many had said it's improved. But for me I don't think it has sorry to say food wise. That said the service from the staff was very good indeed. Some say I'm very fussy that may be true. But I know what I expect or look for. The reviews are very good from so many.

Have been here previously and was okay but went again tonight and wouldn’t go back after the experience. From start to finish the service was terrible, staff are very inattentive even though there were only a couple of tables in. Other tables were having to constantly ask where food and drinks were. We ordered two souvlakis one pork and one chicken, the pork was still pink which we realised half way through eating! Wouldn’t go here again which is a shame as it’s the only Greek restaurant in Chepstow.

Authentic Greek food cooked well. The Meat Meze is good value for money and the Vanilla Milk pie is delicious. Friendly staff and the best place to sit is upstairs. Will be back

Terrible service and the food wasn't up to much, will never go there again.

Amazing experience in Mythos. So much food on the Meat Meze and it was delicious. The two female staff were amazing also though they were short staffed slightly.

Nice place, but food only average

Terrible attitude from the owner and refused to pay his chef

Amazing food and good service 😁😁Restaurant is lovely and very unique. Definitely you won’t find place like that in Monmouthshire. Love it!

We read the reviews prior to our visit, so figured it would be hit or miss... I can honestly say, this place is AMAZING!!! Service was good & very speed, food was very good (Tzatziki proper yummy!), restaurant as Venue is beautiful!!!! Will we come here again? Yes, definitely will. Amazing food, friendly staff and excellent service. I love the decor of the restaurant, feels like an authentic Greek taverna. Really impressed!!!

I read the reviews prior to our visit, so figured it would be hit or miss... I can honestly say, for the value of the voucher (groupon) and the service/food received, we got a good deal! Service was good, food was good (the fries, proper yummy!), despite a few things not available, no problem, bit of improvising = all good.... Will we come here again none voucher related ? Yes, most certainly will. The atmosphere for the restaurant mid-week = real nice, lighting and decor adds to the experience. Going back to the many reviews i read through beforehand, as above, that can be hit and miss in any place. I would recommend giving Mythos a try before discarding the idea based on reviews, as we all know, each is entitled to there opinion :) :)

First impression was pleasing,the decor is rustic, and quirky. Unfortunately it was cold, I struggled to take my coat off. The menu looked inviting, but many of the things I wanted to order wasn't available, including drinks. Poor communication from staff, lack of customer service or care. The food was cooked well, tasty. Overall the experience was disappointing.

Could not fault it.Food good / service.

Amazing food, friendly staff and excellent service. I love the decor of the restaurant, feels like an authentic Greek taverna. Really impressed. Will absolutely be back.

Very nice surroundings, the food was Ace and the Ouzo wasn't bad either.Overall a lovely relaxing dining experience!!!!

Really nice atmosphere and decor matched with amazing food and very good service. Unfortunately a few things were not available from the menu on our visit although the waitress broke the bad news very well and was really good. Can't wait to go back and try the things that were missing!

Food was great, the staff were lovely. The service was poor, my young nephew and niece serve dinner more competently.

Excellent service great food lovely surroundings great place to eat 😋

Food was fantastic! We used a groupon voucher and had a great deal! Lovely atmosphere, service was a little slow but in fairness it was very busy. We will definitely be returning.

I'm really disappointed with this Restaurant!! What should have been a happy occasion celebrating a family birthday meal turned out being stressful awful experience from start to finish. The staff are incompetent and the booking was booked with pre orders meals which was different prices on the night to the pre order menu by a couple of pounds on each meal including starter's. We felt rushed on every course and even when the bill came was asked numerous times if we were ready to pay even though it was a table of 18! And takes time to figure out everyone's order which was confusing as the prices had changed. We had to ask numerous time for our drink which had been ordered but ended up waiting 30 minutes before we received some of them. The toilet was disgraceful and we had to ask a member of staff to clean up whatever was on the rim of the toilet as the ladies toilet had no toilet seat on it. I will Never use this place again!!

Food was amazing but service was a bit slow. One of our party waited ages for her salad main. Food was lovely and looked and tasted amazing.

Lovely tasty 3 course meal. Large portions, alot of choice. Staff very helpful and polite. My only negative thing was it was cold and people had coats on so we asked for the heating to be put on which they did. If I lived near I would go back.

Not a good experience at all!! Out of stock of most of the menu, unfriendly waitresses and the food was cold!! Won't be going back.

The food was absolutely💯 per cent delicious, service excellent

Wonderful food, drinks and service!

Really lovely food and plenty of it...good value for money...nice friendly staff and helpful...recommend...and will be returning very soon...

Very disappointing! The venue seemed lovely and authentic with Greek music but the service was awful. 20 minutes before we were given a drink, starters came some 40 minutes later but one person in our party didn't get theirs for a further 20 minutes after we had eaten ours. The main courses came at different times (there were only 4 in our party) the 1st ate hers, then the second hers, they finished and then we had ours....the meal wasn't even complete! We had the Stiphado but never got the rice. 2 hours and we never received a full meal! The only decent thing we had was the wine. £80 the meal cost with a refund for the poor service....unfortunately the evening was already ruined and what we had wasn't worth the £80. It's a shame because it had the makings of a nice place....I have recently been to Greece and the food was absolutely stunning at the fraction of the price...they could learn a lot from the Greeks!!!

If I could give 0 stars I would The service was awful 3 waitress serving and we were comely ignored 90% of the time. The food was less than mediocre, one meal came out cold, we sent back to the kitchen and asked to be heated, after a 20 min wait it came back and was completely inedible 🙄, the only vegan option on the menu was not avaliable. Drinks were just as bad.. We ordered a coffee which after 30 mins hadn't arrived we asked again and a coffee was bought to the table, it was just slightly coloured water, so weak you could see the bottom of the cup, we asked for a replacement and were told they had ran out of coffee, the guy whom served it took it back to the kitchen and could then be seen sipping it 😱. We are a very understanding family having worked in the catering industry ourselves but the whole experience was awful. We did have the inedible food removed from the bill but over all please don't waste your time and money here. We were one of many tables in the restaurant that complained and whilst we're were there others even walked out without paying.

OK meal and reasonable prices, they do need to make sure they have all stock in and real shame the extensive cocktail menu whittled down to 5. Menu on website and door different to menu at table.

Fabulous food and the waitresses were very helpful.

First time visiting. Booked a Groupon voucher for my birthday. What we ended up paying with the voucher was fair. We wouldn't have paid the full price. Service was great, although a little disorganised. Apologetic and gave a free drink on the house. But the wait for food was ridiculous. Food was good but had to wait a long time for the main, decided to get pudding to go. Would highly recommend the moussaka, best I've ever had. Would go back but not on a saturday. For a Greek restaurant 1 piece of feta in the salads was in my view was very poor and not a Greek salad.

Absolutely beautiful meal and beautiful restaurant

Amazing food and great service. Would definitely go back and recommend.

Went with my family in July 2021. Food was awful. Chicken was rubber and not cooked all the way through. Waitress failed to attend to drinks. Whilst we were served a drink on arrival; that was it. We all returned our food as it was inedible. Extremely disappointing experience. Not recommended under any circumstances. Avoid and go somewhere else is my strongest recommendation.

No record of our booking so they "slotted us in" as they've been having issues. Very short staffed and we got forgotten about. Asked for a second drink twice, then water (which never arrived) and then dessert which also wasn't bought out! We saw other tables getting frustrated with the delay. We left without dessert (as we needed to get back for babysitter) which we were told hadn't been ordered. We asked to speak to the manager and told he was busy in the kitchen. We were assured he'd ring to talk it through. He never did ring. It was my wife and I's first night out in 2 years and was a bit of a disappointment. The starters were fab but mains a bit greasy. Service and dealing with complaints extremely poor.

Disappointed by the lack of drink choices. Couldnt even provide a bottle of prosecco or decent bottle of wine. Most choices of wine were unavailable so likely some financial issues. Also some customers with groupon offers so they are aware they wont get repeat custom at this level of service so are trying to increase revenue elsewhere. Budget and average food and wine for a premium price. Overboard on oregano and salt, chicken souvlaki didn't come as described, and lamb served anaemic. Just wouldn't go back. Pity the staff working there. Such a shame as beautiful decor.

Beautiful interior design as you walk into this restaurant it's like been transported to Greece for a brief moment. The staff were blinking lovely very helpful with the wine choice. Couple of things missing in the menu and the lamb I had was a bit chewy could of done with a steak knife to cut it but the rest of the food we had was stunning so tasty and delicious the chips I don't know how they cooked them but I was gutted when they were all gone. Lovely place I do recommend it.

Not bad food . Toilet facilities leaves a bit to be desired though .

Very good service,and food was excellent

Could have been good, decor is lovely, however... Spent a while rechoosing orders and most things were not available. Service really slow, off duty employees or mates of employees seemed to be hanging around the kitchen and dining area chatting. Felt watched, judgy and rude, very uncomfortable atmosphere. We had to ask multiple times for drinks orders etc. as they kept being forgotten. Hoped food would make up for it, unfortunately not. Lamb served on mixed grill was off, smelt rotten a mile off. Sent it back and asked the chef to check, hopefully they didn't serve to anyone else. Heard nothing back, no replacement or apology goodwill offered. Noticed a 'chef required' sign scribbled and stuck outside on the way out so maybe that explains the bad experience and food poisoning we left with.

Absolutely outstanding food, drink and service. Just like being in a Greek taverna.

Absolutely brill from the minute we walked through the doors till the time we left. The food was excellent so we're the staff . We will return soon

Great food, decent and friendly service. Apparently worth getting a Groupon discount 24 hours before, although I wasn't aware of this before I booked. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Went for lunch yesterday. The food is beautiful. The staff are friendly. The decor is nice. Can't fault this place. We left there fat, full & happy.

Great food and excellent service! The place was very quiet for a lunch time but can imagine after lockdown is relaxed more that place will be packed. We ordered a gyros which was delicious like the real thing from Greece. While the young lady who served us was quick and polite.

Cannot fault the food, however completely let down by the service. Arrived and there are only tables with bar stools to sit on, which are not suitable for a lot of people (elderly, medical reasons or with children) which was not stated at booking. The pints we were served smelt rotten/like poo, when we ordered wine instead, the glasses arrived covered in lipstick, our table was not cleaned before we sat down so was covered in dirt/stains (this is during covid too where cleanliness should be of high importance) and a few items after we ordered were not available. The lady serving us was not very friendly, nor was the lady on the phone when I called to book (I'm not sure if it is the same person). The menu was printed incorrectly making it impossible to understand. The food however was lovely and the wait was not too long. A lovely restaurant but the service experience was not great at all.

Wow. Booked this on a Groupon offer. What a great place. Four courses with prosecco and wine £39.00 for 2. Proper Greek cuisine. Hearty portions. Great staff. Very quiet when we visited at 6.30pm. Apparently gets really busy late at night with drunken revellers but we had such a nice quiet night. Def worth a visit ☺️

Booked online for a time that showed green on there website and got e-mail saying you will get confirmation shortly. 3 hours later and nothing. When I called I got told you need to book at least two weeks in advance. Pity the website did not show no availability or they could had sent a unavailable e-mail. Dont waste your time booking on there website. Not impressed!

I went to this restaurant yesterday, finding the experience great. It was a meal for my partner and mother ( delayed Mother’s Day present) using the groupon voucher. Having read recent reviews, I was a bit nervous, however, to put things in perspective, found the food was great and the staff brilliant! Yes they are young, busy and the cocktail prices have increased, but the value is great for the price. I regularly pay more for two elsewhere. If you don’t want to pay on top of your allowance, stick to it! Simple really. The staff were great with my disabled mother, very attentive and the chef also came to the table to check our experience was positive. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great evening team👌👍

Excellent food and service, love this place

Really good food and service. Nice surroundings too. They do Groupon deals although we didn't use them for our visit. Will definitely visit again.

Booked for my husbands Birthday through Groupon. Although service was slow and staff forgetting small things e.g. Jug of water, the food was very good. Unfortunately, when I got home I vomited 3 times. Unsure if it was the Moussaka or the Mythos dessert. Such a shame as husband enjoyed his grill very much.

Apart from a few teething issues regarding the booking and trying to make an alteration over the phone where the booking could not be found, I cannot fault Mythos. We went as a group of 6, arriving as 2 separate parties. We arrived 2nd and our party was found and we were seated with them. It was fairly busy when we arrived, with all but one table seated. As a result, the orders took a time to be taken, but as they were busy, this was easily forgiven. Beautifully decorated inside, pretty simply with lots of wood and white linen. Very Greek style. The waiting staff were efficient, polite and courteous . The orders were taken with a minimum of fuss. The starters arrived surprisingly quickly and were well presented and tasty. Mains followed once our table had been cleared, and were hot, fresh and once again very tasty. Drinks flowed all night, and as an apology for the mix up on the phone, they gave us a bottle of prosecco and glasses with strawberries in by way of an apology. This was a complete surprise, but very welcome indeed. Thank you Mythos for that. Pudding had almost all run out by the time we ordered them, but the cheesecake and milk pie were very enjoyable. Overall a very enjoyable night, reasonably priced for the food. Would very much recommend. 5/5

Food beautiful. Staff very unwelcoming, not very helpful and quite rude.. no people skills at all...

Amazing place. Superb food and staff. Love this place

Visited whilst on holiday, the food was amazing, really recommend the ‘Mythos Fillet’ absolutely stunning as were all the traditional Greek dishes we tried. The service was really good, attentive staff and personal from the chef to end the meal was a really nice touch.

Until we can travel to Greece again, it doesn't get much better than this. Food that brings back sweet memories of holidays in Gre3ce.

Food was excellent. Beyond our expectations for delivery during lockdown. Every dish was flavourful and well seasoned. The portions were large. The lamb was simply divine, tender and succulent. Highly recommend!!

Ordered delivery from here, paid, waited over an hour to find out they are now closed. No food arrived

Great food and exceptional delivery service.

One of the prettiest places i've dined in for a long time, lovely decor, lovely staff and excellent food, will definitely visit again, could not fault anything

Had Gyros and pitta wraps here and they were amazing. So much flavour and reasonably priced

Can't recommend it enough, very nice atmosphere with beautiful Greek music in the background, very tasty food and perfectly cooked finally what can I say about the staff very helpful and nothing is too much for them ,the only thing I regret is that I didn't get the name of the waitress who served us as she was a star 🌟 and she deserve special mention, if this is help to identify her we were family of four dined on 17/10/2020
