Bustling Greek taverna by the Old Town gate with friendly service, big portions, and fair prices; food ranges from tasty classics to occasional misses at peak times.
Restaurant Summary
At the edge of the Old Town, Nimmos feels warm and bustling without the hard sell you get deeper inside the walls. Staff greet you at the door, often steering guests to the rooftop or garden, and service is usually friendly and fast. Portions are large, prices fair, and reviews mention little touches like a complimentary ouzo. One diner said, "We kept returning because it felt welcoming every time." The cooking leans classic taverna rather than flashy—think moussaka, kleftiko, and plenty of meze. Seafood and grills get most praise when the place is humming, though a few reports mention off-days with reheated meats or bland salads at quieter hours. Expect reliable comfort, generous platters, and crowd-pleasing Greek flavors over fine-dining precision. Families do well here: kids can graze on pita, fries, cheese balls, haloumi, and simple grilled meats. The menu lists several vegetarian and vegan meze, and prices for staples like moussaka (€8.90) and kleftiko (€14.90) help keep a family meal reasonable. Rooftop views charm older kids, and the resident cats delight younger ones—just note that peak times may be busy, so arrive a bit early for the best rooftop tables.
