"Vassiliki Ellwood Yiagazis’s Greek and Jewish pop-up is now a fully fledged cafe, dishing up breakfast gyros (soft scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, fried halloumi, French fries, and creamy tzatziki stuffed into a pita) on Bienville Street. Smoke & Honey has been steadily expanding its menu since opening, adding bagels with whipped feta and cucumber salad and hot smoked salmon on rye toast." - Eater Staff
"After opening in February 2024 with a daytime-only menu, Mid-City’s Smoke & Honey has added dinner five nights a week — and that also means rolling out a happy hour. Martini happy hour runs Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m., a great time to try the espresso martini made with Coffee Science cold brew, creamy and delicious." - Eater Staff

Ellwood Yiagazis is steadily adding more dinner-like dishes, like gemista (baked tomatoes and peppers stuffed with rice), a few vegan and vegetarian options, and cinnamon-spiced pastitsio, a Greek-style lasagna — plus Smoke & Honey’s popular lambeaux. A fish program of sliced lox and smoked salmon is in the works, too." - Clair Lorell

"Pop-up-turned-permanent-restaurant Smoke & Honey is up and running on Bienville Street in Mid-City. Owner Vassiliki Ellwood Yiagazis has the restaurant in a soft opening phase at the moment, serving breakfast gyros, spinach and feta-stuffed bourekas, salads, matzo ball soup, and shaved pork and chicken gyros, plus wine and beer — but she plans to expand the menu of “Greek and Jewish soul food” significantly in the coming weeks." - Justine Jones
