About

Taverna Raw Bar & Plancha specializes in the preparation of ocean-forward fare, highlighting the freshness of raw seafood alongside the distinct textures achieved through high-heat grilling. The menu emphasizes precise knife work in various tartare preparations, ensuring that the integrity of the primary proteins remains the focal point of every dish. Plancha cooking methods utilize intense, direct heat to sear ingredients rapidly, locking in natural moisture and creating robust flavor profiles. This culinary approach bridges the gap between delicate raw compositions and the bold characteristics of charred, fire-kissed proteins. Patrons engage with a focused menu that prioritizes seasonal accessibility and technical execution. The space facilitates a direct interaction with these varied cooking styles, emphasizing a clean, ingredient-driven presentation that relies on the inherent quality of sustainably sourced seafood and diverse regional produce.

⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? Outstanding & Immersive!
The Taverna Raw Bar & Plancha is a true gem! We have lived in the Hudson area for years & this is by far the best licensed restaurant in the area.
The open concept makes it very intimate & personal. Being able to interact with Chef Jay & request dishes prepared in a custom manner, with Maitre d'D Paul offering an excellent wine selection & Heather covering with mixologist drinks, makes for a truly memorable gastronomic evening. Head Chef Tino ensures a amazing menu of bold flavours & flawlessly fresh oysters, fish & sea food. A must-visit! Jean C

We had been going to taverna for the last 2 years & recently it has declined & the portion sizes have gotten so small. I had the lobster roll & wish I would've taken a picture because it was literally one bite & lacked flavor. Ordered a bottle of Pellegrino & we had to ask the waitresses for glasses…

We chose this spot at the last minute on a Saturday before heading to a play at the Hudson Village Theatre, & we got there just in time before the place was fully booked. It was a wonderful surprise! We had just gotten back from a vacation in the maritimes & walking in there felt like we had never left. Their specialty is seafood & cocktails (but do have other choices) & my lobster roll was even better than the one I had in PEI! (I regret not taking a picture of it for this review). The stunning eclectic bar made us feel like we had walked into a secret speakeasy. The decor was very cool & classy & the bar stools / chairs were really comfortable. Loved their music playlist choices, playing at the perfect sound level so that it was easy to have a pleasant conversation. Paul, the restaurant manager/barman made us feel right at home & had a very refined, & delicate subtle attention to detail. It was also nice to see the chefs working & oyster chucking passionately & at ease in their open-concept kitchen. The Taverna is now our favourite hidden'pearl' in the area, & we look forward to going back.

Friendly, attentive service - even when busy. The varied menu includes tasty gluten-free options, even a cheesecake. The shaded terrace is comfortable. Convenient on-site parking is a big plus. A charming, fun spot for both casual & elegant dining.

Malheureusement, les moules étaient froides. Nous les avons demandé plus chaudes, elles sont revenues (les mêmes) trop cuites. Aucune ventilation, vous devez vous attendre à sentir le poisson en sortant. Pas une super expérience. On nous a offert un dessert que nous avons refusé. Aucune correction à l'addition. Nous ne recommandons pas.
