Now don’t go confusing Taverna with “tavern”! Taverna refers to a restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine. The Greek word is ταβέρνα and is originally derived from the Latin word taberna (“shed: or “hut”, from tabula ‘board’, possibly by dissimilation from traberna, from trabs: beam, timer). As Greeks have migrated elsewhere, tabernes (plural) have spread throughout the world, especially countries such as the USA and Australia. The taverna is an integral part of of how the world has dined with family and friends.
