About the restaurant

Since the 1960`s, the Triantafillopoulos family, at its restaurants in Athena, Greece and Jacksonville, Florida have worked with top quality materials showing respect for the food itself and the customer.

As of December 2017, their son Yiorgos and his wife Marilena would like to welcome you to a brand new restaurant in the heart of the city, The Athenian Owl.

Reflecting the heritage and the authenticity of Yia-Yia`s (our mother and originator of the first two restaurants) recipes, we add to her wonderful food our passion of representing Greek healthy cuisine at its best.

Both the food and the service were excellent. The Asian cashew snapper was one of the best tasting dishes I have had all year. My wife had the chef’s signature soup which was delicious. Our server Patrick helped to elevate our anniversary dining experience with professionalism and great interpersonal skills.

About the restaurant

13 Gypsies is a cozy, intimate Spanish tapas restaurant. You can also find the influence of other cuisines throughout the menu. Primarily utilizing Spanish techniques to prepare both creative and classic renditions of Spanish dishes, Chef Howard and Chef Kevan operate a true craft kitchen. The two of them prepare and cook most everything from scratch including breads, cured meats, cheeses, sausages, spice blends, pickled vegetables, and desserts. This practice of making nearly everything in house promotes waste-free cooking and higher quality food. Our wines are mainly from Spain, and our beer is Florida local. We are located in a two-story Spanish-style building built in 1923 by Henrietta Dozier, Jacksonville's only female architect in the early part of the 20th century. You will find eclectic, maximalist religious iconography adorning the walls and original floor tile. We have few tables, so reservations are highly recommended. Last seating is an hour and a half before closing time.

Exceptional food, service and experience. Celebrated my husband’s successful cancer treatment with our first restaurant meal in 4 months and 13 Gypsies didn’t disappoint. Top 3 restaurant in Jax, hands down.

Honestly, the best aged ribeye I've had in 25 years. We were visiting from Tampa, and we have no shortage of high end steakhouses. Impressive wine list and service was outstanding. We will be back for sure.
