Greek Soul in the Heart of Manhattan
Our Story
Greek Soul in the Heart of Manhattan
Butterflied brings the warmth, abundance, and bold flavors of Greece to 18 West 45th Street — steps from Bryant Park and the Theater District.
Where Greece Meets New York
Butterflied was born from a simple conviction: that the food of Greece — honest, generous, and alive with flavor — deserves a home in Midtown Manhattan. We opened our doors on West 45th Street to bring the spirit of a Greek taverna to one of the world's great dining cities.
Every dish we serve is rooted in tradition and elevated with the finest locally-sourced ingredients. From our slow-roasted lamb and wood-fired proteins to our mezze spreads and exclusively Greek wine list, every plate tells a story of a cuisine that has nourished people for thousands of years.
We are proud to be a gathering place — for pre-theatre dinners, corporate lunches, milestone celebrations, and quiet weeknight meals alike. Whatever brings you to our table, we promise to send you home full, happy, and already planning your next visit.
