Experience Chicago's only Mediterranean Cypriot Cuisine.

Feast on the unique cuisine of Cyprus influenced by Middle Eastern, French, Italian and British invaders. Venus offers what a truly unique dining experience should be as it is a treat not only for the palate but for the eyes and ears as well. Dine in the vibrant Mediterranean surroundings; palm plants, green-shuttered window frames and a bar made to look like an ancient Greek warship.

The preferred menu selection is the 14-course mezes, offering a mixture of traditional Cypriot dishes and including several traditional Greek dishes.

Every Friday and Saturday, live entertainment perfectly tops off the ambience.

About the name Venus:
The word Venus is the Latin name for Aphrodite, the goddess of love, marriage and family life. According to Hesiod, Aphrodite was created from a circle of white foam in the sea. Her name literally means foam-born. She was attended by Eros and Himeros when she was first born and stepped ashore on Cyprus, making Cyprus Aphrodite's birthplace. She was also known as a sea goddess of sailors.
