St. Louis Hills residents will have a new place to grab a gyro when Dados Cafe opens in early November at 5425 Hampton Ave., as first reported by St. Louis Magazine.
Owner Gus Botonis has spent years working in the restaurant industry as a server at The Chase Park Plaza and at a cafeteria his parents owned on Washington Avenue, but this will be his first ownership venture. “It’s a great location,” Botonis said. “We’re looking to attract people who want authentic Greek food.”
That food will be cooked up by native Greek and 30-year culinary veteran, Nick Avouris. In addition to traditional fare like gyros and baklava, Dados’ menu will offer American dishes like hamburgers and salads.
The restaurant will seat 30 inside and eight to 10 outside, but Botonis plans to expand seating in the future.
