Although its namesake may mean “small plates,” Mezé Greek Fusion delivers anything but a small experience. The variety and versatility of the Greek islands are felt in more than just the cuisine of Mezé – they inspire what it means to be a guest at our restaurant.
A prime destination for contemporary Greek food in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter
Only a few steps away from the convention center and major hotels, Mezé offers 7,000 square feet of gorgeous multi-level space with private and semi-private areas and rooms. Renowned as one of the world's healthiest and delicious cuisines, Mezé and its unique twist on Greek cooking will make your experience unforgettable.
We are a family-owned bar and restaurant rooted in San Diego’s popular Gaslamp Quarter/East Village community. Mezé has been awarded “Best Greek,” “Best Small Plates,” “Best Late-Night Menu,” “Best Mediterranean,” “Best Mac ‘n’ Cheese” and “Best Restaurant for Big Groups” by San Diego media and diners.
The food was great and the restaurant looked pretty nice inside. Our waiter Effie was very nice, informative, and welcoming. We had the tomato basil hummus and it was very good. I'd also definitely recommend trying the octopus and lamb chops appetizers. I can't wait to come back here

I came here for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago... and I was super impressed. I'm a SD native, and always have passed by it and finally stopped in... I WISH I HAD BEEN HERE SOONER! Staff was friendly, drinks and dinner was amazing!

Great place for lunch near Petco Park! Just returned from a trip to Greece and was missing my Mediterranean food. Meze did not disappoint. Had the soup and a Greek salad. Their menu was extensive and it was honestly hard to choose what to eat.

This is our favorite restaurant for happy hour downtown. Amazing baba ganoush, hummus, calamari, gyros... priced right with fantastic drink specials, we can't recommend this place enough. It's one of the first places we recommend when people visit San Diego.

Meze is a don't miss if you are in the Gaslamp quarter! Food is great. Atmosphere has a nice SoCal vibe. The staff is amazing! Thanks for your hospitality, Jen!! Get to Meze quick and try the gyro plate with a blood orange IPA.

We've been coming to Meze for years now, and it's honestly one of those places that just feels like home at this point. Jenny behind the bar is a big reason for that. She remembers what we like, always has something new for us to try, and just makes you feel like you're hanging out at a friend's house instead of sitting at a restaurant. The whole bar has that energy when she's working.
The food never misses either. We always get the baba ghanoush, octopus, and gyro plate. I swear they're just as good every single time. It's a real neighborhood spot even in the middle of the Gaslamp, which is kind of rare.
If you haven't been yet, just go in and sit at the bar. You'll see what I mean.
Keep up the fantastic work, Meze, Opa!!

We randomly ended up at Meze while walking around the Gaslamp, and honestly, it turned into the best night of our trip. We sat at the bar, and our bartender, Jenny, was just awesome. She was chatting with everyone, cracking jokes, and giving recommendations. At one point, the whole bar was in on the same conversation, laughing about something, and it felt like we'd all known each other for years. That kind of vibe is hard to find.
She told us to get the shrimp and ouzo saganaki and the lamb chops, so we did. Both were excellent. We ended up staying way longer than we planned and ordered one more espresso martini because neither of us wanted to leave yet.
We'll definitely be back next time we're in San Diego.

I recently tried Meze Greek Fusion and overall had a really nice experience. I ordered the grilled chicken plate, and I have to say — whatever rub or seasoning they use on that chicken is phenomenal. It was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and honestly the highlight of the entire meal.
The Greek salsa was also incredible. Fresh, bright, and full of flavor — it paired perfectly with everything and added that extra something that made the meal feel special.
The service was fantastic from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the location itself has a really nice atmosphere that makes it a pleasant place to sit and enjoy your food.
The only downsides were a couple small things. The rice that came with the chicken wasn’t my favorite — it was a bit too puffy and lacked seasoning, especially compared to how flavorful the chicken was. Also, the soda I received was unfortunately flat, which was a little disappointing.
Overall though, the quality of the chicken, the amazing Greek salsa, great service, and nice location definitely make this a spot worth visiting. I’d absolutely come back — I’d just probably skip the rice next time.

We had such a fun birthday dining experience!! Jenn took very good care of us. All the food was so delicious – from the Sriracha hummus to the baklava cheesecake. The entertainment was really fun with the belly dancer! I have a gluten allergy and was able to eat almost everything at the table. Can’t wait to return!

Had such a blast hosting a work dinner for over 40 people here. The staff is incredible and great with creating a warm and fun environment. The food was also outstanding!
