Welcome to Thymári
We are a Modern Greek Taverna in Downtown Swedesboro
Welcome Thymári. Our mission is to bring authentic Greek flavors to your table. We are dedicated to serving fresh, Mediterranean-inspired dishes with a special focus on traditional Greek cuisine crafted by Chef Marco Passante, who was trained in Geneva and Milan, and brings his exacting culinary expertise to each dish. We pride ourselves on using the very highest quality possible. Others say they do, we actually do. We source our essential ingredients directly from Greece. Our Yogurt, all of our dairy products, including our cheeses—to name a few: our Feta, Halloumi, Kefalotiri, and Manouri—are high-end, imported Greek products, and our chicken is top-of-the-line, Purdue Harvestland Organic. We only use first harvest, cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil imported from Sparta. Our lamb comes from New Zealand, Branzino from Greece, and Cod From Iceland. Moreover, our bread, made from only five ingredients and no sugar, is baked in-house with imported Italian flour to create an old-fashioned, Greek country bread. We create meals that capture the essence of Greek culture, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere where tradition, flavor and family come together in every bite.

“This is the 3rd time I have been here and each time has been outstanding in all aspects! The food is fresh, innovative and 5 star delicious! The presentation is impeccable with dishes and flatware that are modern and elegant! The ambience is refreshingly clean, simple, modern and so Mediterranean I feel I am not in South Jersey! I am transported on a mini vacation!”
“First, the place looks amazing! I love the simplicity of it. The tables were spacious and warm. The chairs were so comfortable, you could sit in them for hours. From the unique plates to the flatware. Every detail was thought out, and it shows. Now to the food. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. Every bite of every dish was delicious.”
