Zeus Taverna will launch on April 3 in the former Boots store, Castle Street, in a bid to bring a taste of the Mediterranean to Liverpool.
The restaurant will be decorated with turquoise blue and whitewashed walls, aiming to create the atmosphere of a traditional Greek taverna.
There will also be images of Greek gods and goddesses on the walls, floral decorations, and a cave feature to reflect the volcanic island of Santorini.
Zeus Taverna will serve small plates of traditional Greek dishes, including souvlaki, moussaka, kleftiko, tzatziki, and dolmades.
The restaurant will also serve some unique seafood dishes, such as octopus, prawns, mussels, and sardines.
The opening of Zeus Taverna will also create more than a dozen jobs, including managerial roles, bar staff, and service staff.
A spokesperson for Zeus Taverna said: “It’s really exciting.
“We have spent weeks and months working on Zeus to make sure our customers feel like they’re in Greece or Santorini when they’re visiting or enjoying our food from the moment they step inside.
“We don’t want it to be just another restaurant.
“We want it to be like being abroad at home, an experience that will take people back to their holidays with great music and food, the best service, the best atmosphere, and a really warm welcome.
“We’ve worked really hard to make sure we have captured the essence of Greece.”
The team behind Zeus Taverna has more than a decade of experience in the hospitality industry.
The spokesperson added: “We feel privileged to be able to announce that we will be creating eight full-time and eight part-time opportunities.
“To us, Zeus Taverna is not just a business but a new journey, with the chance to develop new jobs especially for young people who might want to start out in hospitality.
“While we are looking for experience with our managerial positions, we are happy to train people for some other roles, and that’s exciting too.”
