Excellent-value Greek grill off the main tourist drag; big portions, friendly service, and standout gyros and mixed grills, with some complaints about slow service and occasional tough lamb.
Restaurant Summary
Tucked off the main lanes of Old Town, Hermes feels warm and welcoming rather than showy. Servers are described as friendly and relaxed, plates land piled high, and prices make people smile. One diner summed it up: "Peaceful corner, big portions, honest cooking." The cooking leans classic Greek grill—gyros, souvlaki, chops—executed without fuss. Expect hearty, value-driven plates more than culinary fireworks. Fans praise juicy gyros and the huge mixed grill for sharing, while a minority call out tough lamb or bland fries and note that gyros can be sliced grilled meat rather than rotisserie. Families fare well here thanks to burgers, gyros, fries, and simple salads that kids actually eat. No special kids menu needed—just straightforward, familiar options at gentle prices. If your crew needs seafood or vegan mains, choices are limited to salads and sides.
