A Greek-Japanese Omakase Restaurant Lands in the Seaport This Summer
The intimate 15-seat spot, Moro Mou, comes from the team behind Kaia, Bar Vlaha, and more.

Among the Michelin snubs that made us go “hmmm” in November: Xenia Greek Hospitality, and its blockbuster Greek restaurants in and around Boston, from Kaia (we dubbed it the best new restaurant of 2025) to Bar Vlaha (we love its spin on rustic Vlach cuisine). Restaurateur Demetri Tsolakis isn’t letting Michelin’s apparent Greek-food blind spot slow him down: He and the team will open another restaurant, Moro Mou, this summer in Boston’s Seaport, blending Greek ingredients with Japanese techniques for a 15-seat omakase.

Moro Mou is meant to embody hospitality and care; the name is Greek for “my baby.” Continuing in that vein, the menu will be formatted like a love poem—perhaps no surprise for a restaurant group with a moody, mystical cocktail bar, Hecate, where the menu looks like an intricately illustrated book of spells.
While Xenia’s existing restaurants mostly stick close to a purely Greek playbook, from the Greek wine bar Krasi to the Aegean-inspired Kaia, Moro Mou will examine the commonalities between Greek and Japanese cuisine and culture. There’s an emphasis on seafood and fermented foods, for instance, as well as on hospitality: “omotenashi meets philoxenia,” as a Xenia representative puts it in an announcement about this new project.
While we await further details on Moro Mou, catch us departing Bar Vlaha with whole loaves of horiatiko psomi, the Brookline restaurant’s irresistible village-style sourdough, or checking out Kaia’s new winter menu, from caviar pitas to the paella-like cuttlefish kritharoto.
