Anixi

Mediterranean Brasserie

Vegan & Kosher Mediterranean Restaurant

Anixi is a Mediterranean Brasserie that features vibrant flavors from Greece, Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon. Chef Guy Vaknin journeys close to home with this concept, finding profound inspiration in scents, details, ingredients, and textures of the region.

Anixi (Ah-neek-si) means “Spring” in Greek.

After the dark wintery days, Spring comes and new life begins. The fresh flavors and abundance of ingredients that arrive with the season inspired the name Anixi.
