Since its opening, Myth Restaurant<\/a> has established itself as a culinary, evening destination along King Street West in the heart of Toronto’s trendiest neighbourhood. Myth features 5,000 square feet of dining experience, with 150 seats inside and 60 seats on its Terrazas. Myth\u2019s design is carefully crafted to emulate the ambiance of the Cyclades Islands and be a space for escapism. <\/p>\n

\u201cMyth is deeply connected to our roots,\u201d commented Matty Uniq, Co-Owner of Myth. \u201cIt is a place that allows us to share Greek culture, through the synchronicity of food, culture, ambience, and celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pyrgis was flown in from Greece to work with Myth on the next evolution of their menu. Born in Athens and based in Mykonos, he runs Meraki, a Greek restaurant with four global locations in Mykonos, London, Riyadh, and Port Cervo. He studied at the world-famous culinary school of Paul Bocuse in Lyon, France and worked at Michelin Star restaurants Nobu, Gallery at Sketch and M Restaurant. After his global restaurant experiences, he returned to Greece and has made Mykonos his home.<\/p>\n
