Restaurants cuisine du monde Karpathos

This traditional mezzedopoleio also serves as a tavern-restaurant and is certainly one of the classics of Pigadia. It is open all year round and in the summer the tables fill the street. Here you will find all the small dishes or mezzedes to share that make the diversity and beauty of traditional Greek cuisine: dolmades or stuffed vine leaves, salads, octopus... as well as a series of more hearty dishes, offering grilled fish and meat, in addition to typical dishes of the Karpathian gastronomy

This small, friendly tavern on the quayside offers a good menu of traditional and well-prepared dishes. On the fish side, you can taste small karpathian shrimps, cuttlefish with fennel or the house specialty: small fish known locally as menoules. Otherwise try snails with dill and laurel or cardamom omelette. Don't forget to mention the unmissable Karpathos makarounes, prepared with onion confit and served with local cheese. They're delicious.

This pleasant tavern is the stronghold of Chef Manolis, a restaurateur of the younger generation who has taken up the torch of local gastronomy. Here you can enjoy all kinds of delicious grilled meats, since, admittedly, the specialities are more meat-based... One of the main reasons for coming is to share the assortment of grilled meats, including the famous local lamb chops. Everything is prepared with care, and quality is certainly the order of the day at this Arkassa favorite. A good address, despite slightly above-average prices.

This taverna on the pretty bay of Kato Lefkos, or the lower town, has been delighting its loyal customers for years. The main attraction is the fresh fish, brought here daily by local fishermen. You can choose your fish in the kitchen, taking the time to confirm the price of the animal you have chosen, as the bill quickly rises with fresh fish, and prices are indicated per kilo and not per dish. Alternatively, you can opt for a nice grilled octopus, always a pleasure to enjoy with a view of the sea, in the splendid setting of Lefkos.

Lost in the small village of Avlona, this is the only tavern in the area. Run by a couple of local elders who are still very traditional, Kyria Anna's fresh, ultra-local cuisine is served here. She doesn't speak English, and doesn't offer a menu, just the dish of the day, which you'll discover as you eat. A 100% authentic guarantee, and old-fashioned cuisine prepared with local produce grown in the surrounding countryside. Just a dozen or so people live here year-round, so you're sure to be immersed in a world of yesteryear!
