Meyhouse & Meyhouse Jazz Club Menu

At Meyhouse & Meyhouse Jazz Club (640 Emerson St, Palo Alto), the menu reads like a confident tour through Aegean-inspired flavors-built for sharing, lingering, and pairing with a serious beverage list. I’d start by grazing through the cold vegetarian and salad selections-Atom, Girit, Köpoğlu, Patlıcan Salatası, and Gambilya Fava-then brighten things up with Gavurdağı, Meyhouse Greens, Domates Roka, or Ege Salatası. The hot section keeps the momentum with crowd-pleasers like Türkmen Mantısı, Ahtapot, Pastırmalı Humus, and Yaprak Ciğer. Seafood and beef cold plates-Lakerda, Çiroz Füme, Midye Al Sikbaj, Karidesli Enginar, and Levrek Marin-feel especially on-theme for a night out, while vegetable-forward plates like Cupra and Sebzeli Alinazik round out the table nicely. For mains, the grill (“Mangal”) lineup-Levrek, Lamb Chops, Çemenli Tavuk, Alinazik, and Antrikot-anchors the experience, and the supporting sides (Otlu Patates, Ege Otlari, Limon Patates, Pilav, plus another hit of Meyhouse Greens) make it easy to build a full spread. Dessert is classic and indulgent-Profiterole, Sütlaç, Damla Sakızlı Dondurma, Künefe, and Şöbiyet-with a playful финisher in dessert cocktails like Aegean Fashion, Turkish Coffee Martini, and Armut Likörü. Add in curated wine sections (from 2021 Paloekerisio, Semi-Sparkling Orange Wine to deep “Library” picks) and spirited staples like Efe Blue raki or cocktails such as Bitter Cherry and Cos-Mey-Politan, and the menu ultimately feels designed for a long, jazz-soaked evening: order broadly, share generously, and let the pairings do the talking.
