Savory Saturdays: A Greek Taverna On The Taconic

LAGRANGEVILLE, NY — Athena Gyro in LaGrangeville is one of the most popular restaurants in Dutchess County, and all you have to do is look at the photos to see why every year for the past three years, Hudson Valley Magazine selected Athena Gyro as Best Greek Cuisine in the Hudson Valley.

The freestanding restaurant is right off the Taconic Parkway (Exit 47). It has become a destination restaurant for travelers headed to New England as well as for folks returning from day trips upstate.

Check out the mouth-watering carousel of images above and then feast your eyes on these menu choices.

As the weather gets colder, our urge to eat soup increases.

Try their Greek salad!

Or opt for adventure and eat the spicy feta.

We put the photos of the pasticio and gyro at the top, but this entree isn't a third-place finisher.

To finish it all off, get your napkin ready to receive errant flakes from the baklava.
