• Greek • Radnor
Booked 15 times today
The stunning restaurant, which is the first of its kind in Radnor, will transport guests to the Greek Islands with an atmosphere reminiscent of an inviting Mediterranean home, and a menu of authentic specialties, simply prepared, that represent the best of Greek cuisine. The restaurant specializes in whole grilled fish, which are flown in from the Greek islands, the shores of Morocco, Tunisia and Portugal, and procured from independent North American fishermen. We have created a welcoming restaurant designed with the comforts of a typical Greek home. We used materials such as hand-chiseled Jerusalem limestone floors, hand woven rugs, vaulted ceilings, antiqued stucco walls, wood plank floors and exposed wood beams to evoke the traditional atmosphere. A series of dining areas feature rustic farm tables, dark wood chairs with beige cushions and dining nooks with upholstered banquettes. The homelike ambiance is accentuated with whitewashed walls.

    Review for White House Taine Restaurant From the moment you step into White House Taine, you feel as though you've been transported straight to Morocco. The vibrant decor, the fragrant spices in the air, and the inviting atmosphere set the stage for a truly unique dining experience. The hospitality provided by Mohammed and the entire staff is outstanding. They make you feel welcomed and valued from the very first moment, ensuring that your experience is nothing short of exceptional. Each member of the team shines with warmth and attentiveness, adding to the overall charm of the restaurant. As for the food, it is a flavorful journey that delights the senses. Every dish is crafted with care, showcasing fresh, healthy ingredients that burst with authentic Moroccan flavors. Each bite feels like a celebration, and you can truly taste the passion of the chef in every creation. One of the added perks is that White House Taine is a BYOB restaurant, making it easy to elevate your meal further. If you have any Moroccan wines at home, definitely bring them along to enhance the experience. Overall, dining at White House Taine is a culinary delight that you wouldn't want to miss. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining adventure.
