Zaytinya, the seventh Las Vegas Strip restaurant from celebrated chef José Andrés, opened Tuesday in the Forum Shops at Caesars. The highly anticipated restaurant, announced more than two years ago, anchors its menu in the culinary traditions of Greece, Lebanon and Turkey.
“Zaytinya” means “olive oil” in Turkish. It’s also the title of a 2024 cookbook by the chef offering Greek, Lebanese and Turkish recipes, from fried vegetables to spiced seafood to grilled kebabs.
“Zaytinya has always been an expression of my love for the amazing foods and flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean,” Andrés said. “I’m proud to be sharing those dishes and flavors with the people of Las Vegas, which I think is one of the greatest food cities in the world!”
