Charming Old Town Greek taverna with warmly hosted service and standout seafood, but variable execution on grilled octopus and pork souvlaki; best when ordering house specialties and meze.
Restaurant Summary
Tucked beside the city walls, this small taverna feels warm and welcoming rather than touristy bustle. Servers chat through the menu and pour carafes of local wine, and more than a few diners call out the friendly host. As one guest put it, "Dinner on the terrace with a breeze and stone views felt like a little escape." The cooking skews traditional Greek with a focus on seafood, meze, and a beloved house dish of sizzling shrimp. It is classic taverna fare done with heart: dips, horta, grilled fish, and fried calamari when they are on form. Order the specialties and ask for guidance—when you do, the meal tends to sing. If you prefer cutting-edge fusion, this is not that; it is simple, produce-led cooking in a charming spot. Families should do well here: pasta, fries, grilled chicken or pork, simple salads, and plain rice keep kids happy, while adults can share meze and fish. The rooftop view delights all ages, but seating is limited, so ask when booking. If your child avoids seafood, stick to pasta, souvlaki, and Greek salad.
