Chef Petro, inspired by his mother Anna’s deep love for cooking Greek dishes and her fascination with Ancient Greek mythology, decided to honor her in a unique way. His mother had instilled in him a profound appreciation for both traditional Greek cuisine and the enchanting tales of the gods.In tribute to her influence and her admiration for Hermes, the messenger of the gods, Petro named his new restaurant “Hermès.” The establishment combines the rich flavors of Greek culinary heritage with a touch of mythological charm, creating a dining experience that celebrates both his grandmother’s legacy and the timeless allure of Greek mythology.
Hermes Cuisine Grecque is described as a welcoming, authentic Greek dining experience with warm, attentive service and generous portions that make it feel like a family kitchen. The ambiance is often charming and cozy, with a simple yet elegant decor that reviewers say evokes a Greek village and a riverside setting in a comfortable space. The food receives high praise for authenticity, fresh ingredients, and bold flavors, with standout dishes such as moussaka, gyros and souvlaki delivering hearty portions and good value. A few notes mention meals that felt too fatty or a dish not perfectly balanced, and isolated incidents like temperature issues with takeout, but these are outliers in an overall glowing impression. Overall, Hermes Cuisine Grecque is regarded as a hidden gem on the North Shore, consistently praised for delicious, homemade style Greek cuisine, reliable service, and a dining experience that many would gladly return to again and again.
I went last night for the first time, & from the moment I walked in , it transported me straight back to my childhood in Greece. The flavours are so authentic, so deeply familiar, that I had one of those rare moments where you take a bite, stop, & think: this tastes like home. The food was absolutely declisious !!!!
The quality is exceptional. Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned dishes, & that unmistakable Greek warmth in every flavour. Everything tasted intentional, nothing rushed, nothing generic. It's the kind of food that tells a story, & Hermès tells it beautifully.
& the service? Outstanding. Warm, attentive, & genuinely proud of what they bring to the table. They welcome you like family, not customers, which is rarer than it should be.
I felt reconnected with tradition, with nostalgia, with everything we grew up loving about Greek food.
Just had dinner & If we could leave more starts we would , authentic, friendly , fresh from starter to desserts. This Greek restaurant is the real deal.. can't believe we were looking for similar spot all these years !!

Went for dinner Friday night with no reservations; we were seated right away. Very nice & clean restaurant. The service was great & the food was fantastic! Very fresh & delicious food! Can't wait to go back!
Excellent food; fresh, authentic, delicious,'home-made' in the family kitchen of the restaurant
Excellent location; easy access, beautiful area, parking spaces in front of the place.
Excellent interior; cozy, clean, filled with natural light.
The service is… courageous. One more waitress on duty would have transformed this comment to'excellent service'. But it is family-owned-operated, relatively new restaurant, so it's understandable that they are trying to limit the overhead. That's okay. The quality of the food compensates this shortcoming (& btw, the waitress was a very nice person, despite the fact that she was so overworked…)
The only problem : this is not bring a «your own wine» eatery.
Whoever decided this in the family of the owners, made a mistake there. A wrong calculation.
This could become the sole reason why such a good restaurant may end up having to… struggle. Considering notably the immediate competition, since there are so many - quite good - Greek restaurants, which are «your own wine» type. Which could cut the clients' bill in half, depending on the people who are around the table.
Just cancel that other liquor license, replace it with the one corresponding to the'bring your own wine' formula, & make sure to announce this everywhere you can on the Internet - starting with your website - .
As soon you do that, we shall return, with our bottles of wine (by the way, clients who are drinkers, usually, order more food… while with the price of the bottles that you are selling, they will either not drink at all, or drink much less, & thus, order less food…)
The food was incredibly fresh & absolutely delicious-every dish was full of flavor & clearly made with quality ingredients. Our waitress was so friendly & welcoming.
Update: went back last night & got a few more pork gyros & some fries, gyros are absolutely amazing, one of my favorites. Staff is still super friendly. Fries are good but not my style. I prefer fresh cut potatoes. This is definitely the best gyro on the north shore hands down!
Staff is SUPER friendly, went there last night for take out, took 2 gyro, amazing, in my top 3 gyros, prices are good, didn't have time to try anything else but from what I hear the fries are amazing too, will make a more in-depth review & update mine next time.
