About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Dametra Cafe is a casual Mediterranean restaurant. Here, diners can expect high-quality healthy food delivered quickly in a relaxed atmosphere. The decor and styling of the dining room is distinctly Greek, specifically like one of the many coastal cities that the country is known for. Between that and the hearty portions and prompt service, Dametra Cafe sits nicely between an upscale restaurant and quick-service places.Dametra's Cafe features primarily Greek cuisine, with some Italian and Spanish thrown in for good measure. Appetizers include hummus with pita bread, fried calamari, grilled jumbo prawns and steamed mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce. The meals are split between sandwiches, pasta and entrée offerings and features dishes such as shrimp and crab ravioli, a salmon burger with red onion and tomatoes, lamb shish kebab and a Greek style lamb shank with rice pilaf and fresh vegetables.

    Underrated spot, you won’t regret it. Staff are welcoming, friendly and will take good care of you. The food was great, the live music was a pleasant surprise. Definitely returning when in the Monterey/ Carmel region.

    The service was prompt and professional. The food was very tasty and there was a good range of choice on the menu. It was busy so it is clearly a popular place to dine.

    Such a special restaurant! The food was delicious and the staff was very warm and attentive. We love the food at several restaurants in Carmel, but the staff at Dametra takes it over the top for a great experience. I also love how there is a little live music but not so much that it overshadows the opportunity to converse with your friends and family. It is truly a delightful experience to dine at Dametra!

    Enjoyed an amazing meal, with excellent service from Amir, and fun entertainment. We enjoyed the Greek Combination Platter, generous serving of Gyros, Chicken Kabab and sides. Will certainly be going back on my next visit to Carmel

    Food is mediocre. If you have food allergies be sure to tell them at the beginning - the menu is not marked and the staff won’t tell you
