Here’s a look at the small sticker sheet included.
Like previous Restaurants of the World GWPs, we get an exclusive new minifigure. The restaurant owner is sporting a brand new torso with a traditional Greek tunic. I really like the fabric details as well as the blue lining around the corner.
For more Greek flavour, at the back we have a mosaic of a fish, the star ingredient of this restaurant, plus some Cyrillic characters “ΚΑΛΗ ΟΡΕΞΗ” which translates to enjoy your meal. Really love this detail, and wish more of the Restaurants of the World minifigures had more of their native languages incorporated into their designs.
Here’s a look at the completed model which is incredibly charming, and will absolutely make you reminisce about holidays to Greece, or if you’re from that part of the world, a very familiar and vibrant sight.
The set depicts a traditional Greek Tavern with a very familiar white and blue colour scheme that borrows heavily from coastal Greek destinations like Santorini and Mykonos.
The architecture is fantastic, and I really like the stairs incorporated to the side, which gives it a bit of a unique silhouette.
Out the front, we have a stickered sign with TABEPNA, a romanised take on Taverna, as well as the fish logo that’s also on the minifigure back.
Like the previous two restaurants, we have a brick-built sign , with an oversized fish, likely a nod to Grilled Fish being the signature dish.
There’s also a trellis details here with some vibrant pink flowers and leaves.
Out the front we have a bright blue table that has some fish, a cup of coffee and some sunflower seeds.
As anyone that has visited Greece can attest to, there are tons of cats prowling the streets, so of course we get a cute little brown kitten included.
The entire model is tailor-made for the kitten, as there are plenty of fun places and spots to place it such as this tiny archway window here.
Over on the left side, there’s even this tiny little enclave for the cat to live in, right underneath the restaurant’s address/street number.
The back of the restaurant is fairly simple. There’s not a lot of space in here as it’s a lot tighter than previous Restaurants of the World, and here we have a little kitchenette with a stove, olive oil and a slice of orange.
And hanging on the wall, we have a Bouzouki, a popular and traditional Greek lute.
Here we have all 3 Restaurants of the World displayed together. I really like how unique each one looks, and how the design team were able to differentiate how they look with colours and architecture, and this has been one of my favourite Quarterly LEGO GWPs in recent times.
This little street featuring cuisines and restaurants from around the world is fast growing, and we only have one more left, which will be released in the 4th quarter of 2026. Can’t wait to see what we get, and hope that it’s a tribute to Italian food.
Here are all 3 Restaurants of the World minifigures so far.
Really enjoying this series, and can’t wait to see what the 4th Quarter 2026 GWP will be. I secretly don’t want this series to end, and I really hope LEGO continue on with this through 2027 as well, so that we can get a whole massive street of international restaurants!
