[ WHO WE ARE ]

MEZE 119 is a vegetarian bistro located in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg, one of America's Top Arts Destinations. Located across from Jannus Live, and just blocks away from the waterfront parks, museums, and the movie theaters, MEZE 119 is sure to delight your taste buds!

MEZE 119 is inspired by the traditional cuisine of the Middle East and infused with a modern culinary flair. Our all-vegetarian menu features fresh salads, authentic pita bread, and sauces that showcase middle-eastern spices and flavors. We also have a daily selection of savory puff pastry, sandwiches, delectable desserts, and more. Our unique menu caters to vegetarians, vegans, and anybody who loves fresh, delicious food.

MEZE 119 is a unique dining experience that pays tribute to the decor of New York City's neighborhood bistros and cafes, while maintaining a unique vibe that appeals to both St. Pete locals and visitors alike.

Carefully placed colored pillows act as a vibrant contrast to the restaurant's white tables and chairs; trailing black vines with leaves are painted on the white walls. A single, textured, baby blue wall separates the bar from the kitchen and adds the last remaining touch of color.

MEZE 119 is THE destination for modern, gourmet-style vegetarian cuisine. Open for daily for lunch, dinner, and Sunday Brunch, we are thrilled to introduce upscale, vegetarian dining to St. Petersburg.

[reds]

PINDAR RESERVE MERLOT, 2006 north fork of long island, ny
a vintage wine from a vintage year. this barrel select merlot is intense and fragrant, with rosemary, vanilla, red currant and blackberry on the nose. full-bodied with soft tannins and a velvety, assertive finish that is sure to holds its own with big flavors. 26/7
PINDAR CABERNET FRANC, 2007 north fork of long island, ny
long island’s signature grape. fruity, almost jammy upfront with hints of plum and raspberry and a soft herbaceousness. 31/8
PINDAR PYTHAGORAS MERITAGE, North Fork of Long Island, NY
black raspberry, rye toast, and cream aromas with a touch of earth. a well-rounded and juicy entry leads to a dry-yet fruity medium body with tangy raspberry, plum, and delicate spices. finishes with a tasty, fruit and honeyed toast fade. pythagoras is a real crowd pleaser blended from cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit verdot, and malbec. 26/7
LOGAN WEEMALA SHIRAZ VIOGNIER, 2008 Southeast Australia
delightful aromas of red berries and spice with a flora lift while the silky palate has flavors of liquorice, dark cherry, plumbs and rhubarb with a long finish. 34/9
DUCK WALK PINOT MEUNIER, 2007 South Hampton, NY
this burgundian is one of the three champagne varietals. in the usa, duck walk is unique in growing and offering the full varietal bottling of this noble grape. light-bodied and minimally aged in oak provide aromas of raspberry and wood, over tones of currant and plum, with a pleasing smokiness on top. enjoy either room temperature or with a slight chill. 27/7
PINDAR SWEET SCARLETT, North Fork of Long Island, NY
a “user-friendly” off-dry red that is full bodied with a hint of sweetness. served chilled, it makes an excellent dessert wine but also works very well warm paired with tomatoey sauces and soups or spicy foods. 20/6

[blush]

PINDAR SUMMER BLUSH, north fork of long island, ny
this semi-dry blush is made with merlot grapes and features a unique subtle strawberry flavor. also referred to as a white merlot, this wine is perfect for light summery foods. 20/6

[whites]

PINDAR WINTER WHITE, north fork of long island, ny
a semi-sweet and refreshingly well balanced blend of chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, riesling, and cayuga provides delightful floral aromas and a luscious mouthfeel. 21/6
AIRLIE SEVEN, 2008 willamette valley, or
a vibrant and approachable blend of seven white varietals, this wine is designed for enjoyment. a core acidity with notes of pear and grapefruit make this a great sipper and an excellent food companion. 27/7
PINDAR SUNFLOWER CHARDONAY RESERVE, 2009 north fork of long island, ny
grown on a special vineyard site of only 3.9 acres, this limited special reserve was completely barrel fermented in new french oak and has lush vanilla and butterscotch notes, with a palate of apple and pear. refreshing, bright and balanced, it pairs brilliantly with summer salads. 36/9
J. ROGET BRUT CHAMPAGNE, Canandaigua, NY
medium-dry with crisp, fruit flavors. the aromas of apple and pear are balanced with a bouquet of toasty, yeast notes and floral nuances. 7
SEVEN DAUGHTERS MOSCATO, Veneto IGT
sweet with a light effervescence. peach nose with tastes of honey and apricots and the slightest hint of bitterness. quaff to detect the subtle yet delightful cinnamon and key lime notes. 32/8
NOBILO PINOT GRIGIO, 2008 Auckland, NZ
a perfumed bouquet of orange blossom and pear is overlaid with enticing spicy notes. creamily textured and complemented by gentle acidity. flavors of ripe apple, melon and pear linger on the palate in a smooth, generous finish. 31/8

[yoo-neek]

CHOCOVINE. a fine french cabernet subtly combined with a rich dark chocolate from holland. silky smooth and decadent. 32/8
