This is a lovely Greek eatery with amazing options on the menu catering for all tastes from seafood to meat dishes to vegetarian options. The service is always attentive and they manage to handle big groups well. The only drawback of this restaurant is the parking of the parking lot on the corner is closed.

Line fish was amazing! Everything was amazing! Fresh and delicious. Our table had line fish, prawns, calamari, falafel, calamari, brinjils, roast potato & veg. Tracy served us with a smile and had some good suggestions. We will be coming back for sure! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Potatoes

Authentic Greek cuisine, apparently this is exactly how it is in Greece 🇬🇷 😅 I can't say much about that but I can definitely say that the food is to die for, great for a date night, a night out with friends or just a sole date. Ask the owner for recommendations he knows his menu like no body 🤌🏽 10/10 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 350–400

Always wonderful. Good service and delicious food. Mainly the grilled octopus, and the whole fish. Relaxed ambience, with no pretentious vibe. You just rock up

We’ve been wanting to go to Parea for the longest time after many foodie friends raved about the fresh grilled fish, which they have become synonymous for. After a year of planning our Greek friends finally got us to commit to a date to have dinner with them at Parea. The best part of going with Greek friends is that you let them choose the dishes and surprise you as opposed to ordering what you know. And I’m glad we did! Meze and dips are always great starter options to break bread and savour the array of flavours. Our host chose an assortment of meze and dips for starters. After scanning the myriad of options in the glass counter, I also chose one of my favourites - Gigantes - giant butter beans marinated in olive oil, parsley and onion, which was outstanding. The dolmades comes with a generous portion of tzatziki, and were sublime. The next dip was a beautiful surprise and just too yummy for words. Melitzanosalata – finely chopped brinjals in a garlic dressing. A definite must try. We had fresh pita bread to mop this all up and was scrumptious. The Taramosalata – fish roe, olive oil and lemon dish was excellent, and is a firm favourite if fish roe is your thing. So as if this was not a lot of starters, we still had a divine Greek salad with amazing Feta and olives. And the final starter dish was the delightful, Brinjal Special – grilled brinjals with Pomodoro tomato, topped with crumbled feta. Another must try dish. Half way through our starter, our host had indicated to our efficient waitron, Thandi to get the fish on the grill. The whole grilled Red fish was certainly the pièce de résistance, with its firm white flesh, delicate flavour and enhanced with a generous squeeze of lemon. Now I could see what the fuss was about grilled fresh fish and Parea. Golden crispy chips went very well with the fish, as did a dish I’ve tried for the first time, and definitely not my last - the Horta – boiled wild spinach blended with olive oil and lemon juice. Chips, Horta and fish – an ideal mix for a main course – light and tasty. We rounded off the lovely meal with yummy homemade Baklava and semi-sweet Greek coffee. What a wonderful Greek meal with beautiful friends in a taverna setting with an island feel in the heart of Illovo. With such an extensive menu, we will be back to savour the other offering and would love to dine on a day where we can experience the belly dancers, live music and plate breaking! OPA!!

A must visit for an authentic Greek experience. From the warm welcome, decor, delicious food to the Greek dancing & plate breaking (Fri, Sat after 21h30) and belly dancing, it was a most memorable night. We enjoyed the vegetarian meze platter for two as a starter. However all five of us couldn't resist it. Definitely worth a 2nd visit.

So surprised to find this little bit of Greece on our doorstep here in Johannesburg. We enjoyed a lovely fun evening with good authentic Greek food, a festive atmosphere, friendly service and even some live entertainment. Having just returned from a holiday in Greece this definitely made us long for more. We will be back to Pare Taverna.

Authentic Greek taverna food. Ask for Nic. There is no need to look at the menu, and he'll serve you the best of the day. When the belly dancer arrives, you will be transported to a far away land Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 500+ Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Various Meze

Really lovely place. Very cosy and the staff are friendly. My partner and I went her for our anniversary. You could taste the prawns are super fresh. I love prawns and their prices are very reasonable. I had prearranged for management to do something special for dessert and put happy anniversary along the plate. My partner had chops and he was very pleased with his meal. The dessert did not taste very fresh and that is the reason I am not giving them a 5 star. I will definitely return to this restaurant and I would highly recommend this restaurant if you like seafood.
