Ink Entertainment and OHS Global proudly announce the grand opening of Melani (μελάνι), a modern Greek dining destination bringing the spirit, culture, and hospitality of the Aegean coast to Uptown Toronto. The name Melani, Greekfor “Ink,” reflects the idea of leaving a lasting mark in memories, in connection, and in the enjoyment of exceptional food and wine. Every detail at Melani is designed to create moments that linger long after a shared experience.

Greek dining at Melani is rooted in the connection between people, ingredients, and tradition.
