Cynara Restaurant & Lounge

Online reservations are available for parties of up to six, or up to eight for Friday and Saturday dinner. For larger groups, please call us and we will arrange your table. Please book for your full party, as changes to guest count require a new reservation. Happy hour is bar seating, first come, first served. For private dining and events, visit our Events page at cynaraolympia.com.

Cynara Restaurant & Lounge opened in the fall of 2020, named for the Greek word for artichoke and the ancient ideals it nods to: harmony of body, mind, and spirit, reciprocity, and beauty. A scratch kitchen built around Mediterranean flavors, with French and North African influence, drawn from Pacific Northwest ingredients like wild sockeye salmon and Washington beef, in the heart of downtown Olympia, just steps from the farmers market and Percival Landing.
