Beachfront Greek taverna with memorable sunsets and generally tasty classics; go for the view and meze, expect occasional slow or inconsistent service and indoor smoking at times.
Restaurant Summary
Set right on the water, Koumparaki feels warm and beachy with tables almost touching the surf. Diners rave about sunsets and the relaxed deck, noting service that ranges from welcoming and homely to occasionally aloof under pressure. One guest summed it up: "We ate with waves at our feet and forgot the time." Cooking leans classic and generous rather than flashy, a traditional Greek lineup of meze, grills, and straightforward seafood. Highlights include crisp honey-feta, mixed grills to share, and simple, fresh salads; when the kitchen is on, flavors pop, though a few diners reported overcooked steaks or cold sides on busy nights. This suits sunset seekers and meze grazers more than fine-dining hunters. Families are well covered with kid-friendly options like pasta and gyros, fries, and grilled chicken. Vegetarians find plenty among meze (fava, greens, dips), while picky eaters can stick to simple plates. Note that prime beach tables book up near sunset, and some guests reported indoor smoking, so sit outside if sensitive.
