Charming, family-run Greek spot tucked off the main street offering fresh, well-priced seafood and meze with warm hospitality; minor waits at peak times.

Restaurant Summary

Hidden just off the market lanes, Bellot feels like a friend’s courtyard: warm and welcoming, cats weaving between tables, and owners greeting guests by name. One diner summed it up: "They treated us like neighbors and the food tasted freshly made." The little alley stays calm and cozy even when the center buzzes, though waits can stretch when it gets busy. The cooking leans classic Greek and Cretan with care: seafood pasta loaded with clams and shrimp, tender octopus, crisp calamari, and meze like fava, dakos, and saganaki. Prices are strikingly fair for the center, so you can share a spread without worry. Expect straightforward, traditional flavors rather than showy techniques; the owners often guide newcomers through local specialties and drinks. For families, the menu has plenty kids will actually eat: fries, chicken or pork souvlaki, beef burgers, grilled halloumi, and simple salads. Portions are friendly and the atmosphere is easygoing for children, though seating is limited and small tables can feel tight for four. No formal kids menu, but sharing plates works well.
