Meet us where Mediterranean tastes are served
When you walk into Grapevine Gourmet Mediterranean Cafe, you’ll be greeted by hanging bunches of grapes and pictures of the warm, blue waters of the Mediterranean.
Grapevine serves top-notch Greek food, including pastitsio, a layered casserole of seasoned ground beef with imported macaroni topped with bechamel sauce, and spanakopita with leaf spinach, green onions and leeks mixed with feta cheese and wrapped in phyllo dough. Get an order of dolmades, grapevine leaves stuffed with ground beef, rice, scallions and leeks topped with an egg-lemon sauce and dill seasoning.
There's also pasta Bolognese with hearty meat sauce over penne pasta and smothered in grated cheese, as well as brick-oven pizzas.
While the food is all about the Mediterranean, but the building is all American. Grapevine retained the building's original steel beams, wood ceiling and brick walls of Nick's, a 1930s restaurant and bar that occupied the building before it.
Grapevine is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday.
Entrees at Grapevine range from about $13 to about $16. A brick-oven pizza is about $13.
Located at 9 W. Hillgrove Ave. in La Grange, Grapevine is just a two-minute walk from the La Grange Road Stop on the BNSF Metra.
