Meze is a warm and cosy restaurant, located on Reykjavík's high street (Laugavegur). Our emphasis is Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, fresh ingredients and service with a smile. WHAT IS A MEZE? Meze is a collection of small plates, served similar to tapas or zakuski. It's popular in the middle east and in the Balkans. The word itself is taken from Turkish and means to ‘enjoy’ or ‘taste’. Meze can serve as a whole meal or be shared among friends, preferably over a nice drink. The dishes are varied and can contain meat, fish or just vegetables, but common ingredients include olives, tahini, salad and yoghurt.
