Ousia, located in the iconic VIA 57 WEST, introduces a lively vibe to Manhattan’s newest West Side neighborhood. The latest concept from the Livanos Restaurant Group, Ousia’s Greek-focused Mediterranean cuisine brings the dynamic flavors and textures of land and sea to life on each plate and in every glass. Our lunch and dinner menus, weekend brunch offerings, and innovative cocktails come together with premium, locally-sourced, market-fresh ingredients.

Ousia, meaning “essence” or “flavor,” is a unique and welcome addition to the NYC dining scene. Its homey yet sophisticated ambience welcomes all to an equally approachable, up-and-coming residential neighborhood. Both our restaurant and our menus are designed to foster a communal and vivacious dining experience, so you’re never dining alone. Whether you’re grabbing a bite at our large, double-sided bar or sliding into a comfy booth with friends and family for a meal, we’ll make room for you at Ousia.
