Beautiful garden setting serving modern Greek plates with standout seafood and lamb; excellent service and cocktails, prices higher but justified for quality.
Why it gets an A for overall quality
1912 Restaurant stands among the region's finest dining establishments through exceptional food quality anchored by standout dishes like lamb shank and octopus, paired with genuinely attentive service and a romantic garden setting that elevates the experience. Occasional consistency variations on busy nights prevent a higher grade, but overall execution delivers grade A-level dining with thoughtful modern Greek cuisine and strong wine guidance that justifies premium pricing for discerning diners.
Restaurant Summary
The courtyard feels warm and romantic with twinkly lights and lush greenery, a pocket of calm at the quieter end of Pefki. Servers are genuinely attentive, sharing stories behind dishes, and a complimentary melon liqueur often ends the night on a charming note. One diner summed it up: "Golden hour in the garden made dinner feel special." Cooking leans modern Greek—recognisable flavors with thoughtful twists rather than theatrics. Starters shine: octopus with fava, feta in phyllo, and tomato fritters get raves, while lamb shank and sea bass anchor the mains. Expect clean seasoning, bright acidity, and elevated presentation; a few guests noted pacing hiccups or a lukewarm plate on busy nights. Families are welcome. There is a real children's menu with pasta, pinsa margherita, chicken bites, and fish fillet, plus fries and simple salads. That said, the main menu is creative Greek, so picky eaters may prefer kids' options while adventurous teens will enjoy the starters.
