The 19 Best Restaurants of 2025—Salt Lake
Chef Manoli and Katrina Katsanevas have showcased their culinary creativity and care for stellar service in their James Beard-nominated restaurant, Manoli’s. Serving up a variety of Meze, it is a fine dining destination. In 2024, they opened Paréa, a spin-off of the gyro pop-ups they hosted occasionally at Manoli’s. More of a deli/market style experience, Paréa translates to “a close group of friends who gather purely to enjoy each other’s company.” And what great company you will enjoy! Serving up their famous gyros, you can also find to-go salads, take-and-bake mains and ready-to-eat dips and stuffed grape leaves.
