Ethos Greek Bistro

Ethos Greek Bistro takes its name from the Greek word for character, and its cooking looks to the island of Crete, which the restaurant calls the birthplace of the Mediterranean diet. The restaurant says its dishes are modern takes on family recipes handed down through generations, in a lighter style that leans on vegetables and seafood.

The menu is built for sharing. Small meze plates are meant to be passed around the table, and a group can make a meal of several. Its chain-wide menu includes spreads such as tzatziki and hummus with warm pita, spanakopita, grilled octopus, lamb chops, gyro platters and lemon chicken soup, with homemade baklava to finish. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are available.

The Wilton Manors bistro has indoor and outdoor seating. It doesn’t take reservations, which it puts down to its small, intimate space. Parking is across the street at City Hall. Ethos also has locations in Fort Lauderdale and Coconut Creek.
