Restaurants cuisine du monde Greece

Next to the White Tower, you will find in this Zythos number 2, the same dishes and the same choice of beers as in that of Ladadika. Only the atmosphere is other, perhaps calmer, near the sea.

An address among others that blends into the mass of its competitors on the waterfront. However, you can eat there for a good price and in a very pleasant setting, facing the port, on tables with pretty red tablecloths. The tables are arranged along a small port in the middle of flower boxes, bougainvilleas, small lanterns and on a very beautiful square. Fried fish, boiled herbs and baked eggplants are some of the dishes offered by the house. The menu is translated into French, and the welcome is warm.

Do you miss the simple and family cuisine? This non-stop tavern, open 24 hours a day, is the remedy you need. Vegetable and meat soups (very nutritious with whole pieces of chicken or veal) are the speciality, as well as cheese puffs (tyropita), inimitable. For the rest, the dishes are succulent and prepared with fresh and good quality products. Take a look around the kitchen to choose! Friendly atmosphere. It's the kind of place you always come back to a second time.

Perhaps the best restaurant in Gaios (reservation recommended in summer!). The setting is pleasant and you can watch the boats pass by while waiting to be served. The terrace tables are always full and the establishment is popular with the local population. Mambo offers one of the best grilled fetas on the island, but also excellent souvlakis (chicken), grilled octopus or meatballs. Don't miss some interesting homemade specialities such as squid, zucchini croquettes or stuffed peppers.

In this restaurant, the service is nice although sometimes a little long. But it's worth the wait. The cuisine is simple and revisited. Welcome to a very pleasant tavern with its feet in the water. Giannis, the chef, invites you to discover the traditional cuisine of Kythera with a welcome (small) touch of modernity. The chef, we are told, trained in Belgium. Mediterranean menu and excellent mezze. Among the Greek classics, the stifado is excellent. The decor is pleasant. And, above all, you are right on the beach.

Popular with locals and tourists alike, this small restaurant offers only a few tables, which sometimes creates discouraging queues. And yet, don't give up too quickly because your patience will be greatly rewarded! By an aperitif offered, first of all, but above all by succulent dishes, of incomparable freshness and presented with care, very reasonable prices and a warm and friendly service. It is certainly one of the best restaurants in Rhodes, which has managed to maintain its reputation over the years.

Going down to the old port, between Donzelot Street and Zavitsianou Street, you will find this lovely tavern sheltered by a large patio. Nothing will disturb a meal that only the boats accompany. The place has a warm atmosphere thanks to the colours of the furniture and the hospitality of the waiters. The Greeks mix with the tourists in one of those cacophonies that one gets used to with a smile. Right in front of the port, with a beautiful view, one goes there rather to have lunch and to watch the maritime life.

Treli Garida (the "mad shrimp") is one of the oldest taverns in Preveza. She is highly appreciated and well deserves her reputation. We come here to eat seafood and fresh fish. Fried squid, grilled octopus, gavros and fish steaks are served hot and well cooked. The owner, Zois, is also a fisherman, so you can trust him! Of course, the house specialities are grilled shrimp or saganaki, which means cooked with feta cheese and tomato, then served in a small ramekin.

A magical place and ideal for romantic guests. In a constuite gallery in 1869, and in an intimate atmosphere, you can enjoy meat dishes, beef skewers, pork fillets in wine sauce, and many mezzedes. On weekends, live music comes to animate this plebiscité restaurant by local youth!

Housed in a neoclassical house that has been refurbished in a designer style, this Greek chain is like a luxury bakery that is worth a visit! In addition to the excellent pastries, rolls and pastries to enjoy on the go, you can compose a plate yourself for lunch, with different dishes, ready-made meals and salads that you can then enjoy on the tables set up outside, in a pleasant pedestrian street. Ideal for lunch or to take away if you are renting or staying in an apartment-hotel.

This Ladadika ouzerie has a huge menu, with a thousand choices of mezzes, ouzo or tsipouro (traditional strong alcohol made from grapes). Fried squid, grilled sardines, pastourma (a type of pastrami from the Thrace region), eggplant caviar... The atmosphere is friendly, the waiters are particularly efficient and friendly, and the decor, imitating old Greek grocery stores, is very charming. Every evening, the large terrace is packed to the rafters, and that's only to be expected: it's good, cheap and the art of sharing is very convivial.

For the past 25 years, Thessaloniki's youth has been gathering at Elia Lemoni, Olive et Citron, especially in the evenings. People come here to share a cheap dinner in a festive, 100% local atmosphere: a DJ regularly enlivens the evening in this tastefully refurbished two-storey neoclassical building. Here, you can enjoy classic Mediterranean cuisine, without fuss and at low prices. However, if you can't stand the noise, it's best not to go, or at least prefer the quieter terrace.

Nestled on the wild beach of Tarsana in Ftelia Bay, this beach bar-restaurant is the favorite of the bohemian hippie chic population of Mykonos. No "bling-bling" in this small paradise, but earthly colours, pretty light wooden tables and a small limited menu of very good quality. Here too, we are not looking for the fusion style typical of southern beaches: the menu offers classics of Greek cuisine skilfully made from delicious products (squids, meatballs and tomatoes, etc.). Refinement in simplicity.

On the road to Nimborios, with a splendid view over the whole bay of Gialos, this establishment offers deliciously prepared traditional cuisine. It's one of the port's best addresses for local specialties and Greek classics. The place has been renowned for many years, and regulars never miss an opportunity to visit: don't forget to make a reservation! At midday, the hustle and bustle of the port seems far away, and in the evening, you can enjoy a romantic atmosphere with garlands of lights by the water's edge.

This traditional tavern promises a pleasant break under the beautiful pergola that shades the courtyard. The cuisine offers classic dishes that are genuinely fresh, unlike many of the touristy restaurants in the area. The menu is limited but tasty, and you can sample some fine local wines. As this is a very popular address, it's best to book in the evening, especially in high season. Opt for the tables on the street to watch the world go by, or for the inner courtyard if you're looking for a little peace and quiet. Good value for money.

This family tavern located in one of the streets behind Mandraki is a very traditional establishment. Outside, on a shaded terrace, you can eat simple and delicious dishes: homemade stuffed meatballs, local cheese, delicatessen, red beets with garlic... No pretensions here, we are maintaining the good old-fashioned recipes of yesteryear and that is fine. A tavern that offers dishes, without fuss, like at home. The service is also straightforward, simply pleasant.

Are you tired of Greek salads? Try an Italian incursion at Claudio and Paulo. These two Italians are preparing excellent pizzas and importing Italian wine. Beautiful pasta card, meat and fish also.

The oldest restaurant in the city. Local and international cuisine in this somewhat déconfit place.

On the seafront by going to Livadi, the establishment has existed for over twenty years. The terrace is in the shadows and in summer additional tables are set up near the water. Fresh fish, salads, grilled… Traditional Greek cuisine and a vegetarian menu. Andreas welcomes us with a little French and usually offers the aperitif.

A little out of the way, on the heights of Chios, this small tavern, a little hidden in a beautiful courtyard, is one of the best addresses in town. And one of the oldest: it opened in 1882! You will find here unique dishes inspired by local products and classic dishes of Constantinople cuisine, such as beans cooked with mandarin puree. Fish is not his specialty, but the meats are excellent. Wine "by the kilo" and excellent ouzos. Reservations are recommended.

The restaurant offers local dishes and fresh fish. The evening meal on the beach is a marvel with a sunset and beautiful colors. On the menu: souvlakis, tzatziki, tarama, moussaka, zucchini fritters, gemista (eggplant or peppers stuffed with rice or minced meat) and other fish. The base, that is. But the dishes are prepared with care and the view of the beach is sublime. The owners, Nikos and Maria, also offer, in the same place, some studios and apartments. Good value for money.

It was in an 1830 building that the first generation of Archontoula began to serve its customers. The Miliens love this establishment and meet there as a family, on the rustic terrace, in the shade of the bougainvilleas. You can opt for the vast and spacious interior room, which retains the 19th century charm with its cement tiles, high ceilings and old village pictures. On the menu, a generous and copious traditional cuisine: mountain lamb, pork tenderloin with honey, grilled vegetables, local cheeses, mussels with saffron..

A recently decorated restaurant located on the central square of Fira. From its open kitchen, you can see the numerous Greek dishes made home, mainly with meat and vegetables. It also makes it possible to put water in your mouth and choose more easily what you want. Good value for money.

To eat well in Olympia, you have to know how to get away from it all. Direction Floka, not far, on the heights. Honestly, a very good restaurant a few minutes from Olympia and far from its tourist taverns. At Théa (which means "the view", because you can enjoy a pleasant panorama), it is customary to start the meal with a particularly garlicky tzatziki or an eggplant salad. Especially ask for the excellent pasto, pork marinated in wine, orange, tomatoes and chopped omelette. A delight to enjoy on the terrace. And the prices are reasonable.

This choice tavern overlooks the port of Bali, and Greek dishes are served in the shade of the beautiful terrace overlooking the bay and part of the port. As the décor attests, fish and shellfish are king here. The octopus salad is very successful, grilled squid or swordfish as well. A pleasant way to gain height and admire the sea while accompanying a glass of raki or a cold beer with some of the dishes on offer. The prices remain reasonable despite the tourist boom.

With a bit of luck, you will find a table with a view of the Caldeira here without making a reservation, which is still difficult because there are a lot of people. Fanari's major asset is its panoramic and plunging view on the Caldeira from one of its 3 terraces. On the kitchen side, you will of course taste local specialities such as stuffed tomatoes Santorini style or lamb kleftiko, but also grilled fish or spaghetti with lobsters. If you type, Loukas, the chef and owner, loves Paris.

Small family tavern held by an expert in Cretan cuisine in a small courtyard planted with trees. She's on the edge of the road, but it's more quiet than on the harbor. For a quiet evening.

The exceptional setting at the edge of the port and the octopuses drying in the sun will make many salivate. The welcome remains very warm for this institution in the small port of Ammoudi, below Oia. Fresh fish purchased directly from local fishermen on the quay, lobster, Greek salads. A delight to eat with your feet in the water with an exceptional sea view. The place is also famous for its terrace on the first floor and its aperitifs at sunset. Just be careful with the bill if you catch fish by the kilo. Prices are rising fast.

This is the restaurant of the Caravella Hotel. It is a fish and mezze restaurant, which overlooks the sea from its blue and white front. Two brothers are the owners of the place and they are the ones who fish with their boat off Paleohora, a family tradition (as shown by the family photos in the back room). You can choose your own fish in the kitchen among other dishes, including vegetarian ones. Ask for the price per kilo in order to avoid a bad surprise at the time of the bill: fresh fish is always more expensive!

The restaurant has a large shaded and pleasant terrace in summer. The establishment is a member of the Greek National Tourism Organisation. Here you can taste real Greek specialities at affordable prices: moussaka, pastitzio (pasta millefeuille cooked with béchamel and minced meat), stuffed tomatoes and peppers, and all kinds of meat. The staff is very welcoming and the owner is full of resources: if necessary, he also serves as a guide for the climbing or will give you the necessary information!

The Avli restaurant is a small oasis set in the courtyard of an old house: one appreciates the setting, above all. It offers very good Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, at very reasonable prices, hence the rush that can explode in high season: we recommend booking in the early evening. Otherwise, it's better to get there late to escape the well-informed crowd. Try a traditional dish, such as lamb stamnas, cooked for several hours in the oven. Take a look at the long list of wines to taste Greek grape varieties.

With its terrace overlooking the port and opening onto the sea, Mylos is a tavern appreciated for its traditional cuisine for years. You will find all the classics of Greek cuisine with souvlaki, mezzedes and fish but also the most typical dishes of Kassos. Try lobster spaghetti spaghetti, very successful and really tasty. Big appetites will enjoy the generous portions. In the evenings in season, the tavern fills up quickly and the atmosphere can become festive when a guest or friend passing by goes to the lyre.

A charming couple welcomes you in this small restaurant located in the main square of the pretty village of Kritsa. Traditional Greek dishes are served here: souvlaki, mixed meat, fried meatballs, cheese puff pastry, kebabs... all accompanied by dakos (toasted bread with tomatoes, feta, oregano and Kritsa olive oil).

Located in the centre of the old town, this traditional tavern has had its hours of glory. Since then the owner has changed but the kitchen is still quite good. Cooked dishes, fish and all kinds of grills are on the map.

The Vergiotiko restaurant is certainly the best address of the city. Hidden next to the Byzantine Museum, it warmly welcomes you in the freshness of a small shaded courtyard in summer and winter in a romantic room. We advise you on the days that change over the seasons, such as cooked beef cheeks with papardelles or wild boar, but also stuffed grape leaves, and delicious beef ribs that you can ask for (quite rare in Greece)!

Family tavern owned by Nikos Platanakis. Traditional cuisine is prepared here, using melting vegetables from the garden. The owner, will make you taste the best homemade paximadi of the region. The son, who is very charming and speaks excellent French, will perhaps show you around the kitchens so that the women who officiate there will lift the lids of all the pots of the day: green beans in tomato sauce, lamb or rabbit stew....

Here is a friendly and unpretentious place for those looking for something other than the caldera. The establishment and its rooftop have just been renovated. It serves fresh products, Greek dishes of course, but also pasta, meat, salads, fish. Many organic products, grown in the owners' garden. It is copious, very correct in terms of prices, and the staff is very friendly. The owner makes his own olive oil in his childhood village. Many black and white photos of Santorini are on display.

The address, always lively, is frequented by many Cretans of all ages. With its terrace on the promenade of Sitia, Me-raki is the nice address to taste freshly cooked Greek mezzedes (dishes), as well as delicious home-made raki: seafood or shrimp and saffron risotto, shrimp pasta with tomato sauce, delicious grills, various salads, zucchini fritters, fried salted cheese(saganaki), tzatziki, grilled meat platter... The decoration in blue and white is simple but original.

Roasted octopus specialities and octopus specialities. Good tomatokeftedes.

You have to walk all the way to the end of the pier but it is worth it. You will recognize this restaurant by the statue between the restaurant and the sea. Hurry to be at the water's edge! Facing the green statue of the port, a little sheltered from the passageway, a few minutes from the square, this restaurant with terrace offers a magnificent view. And on the plate, a superb varied cuisine at a very reasonable price. Perfect for an octopus salad or just to have a drink. And apparently, many boat crews seem to have a habit here!

It's certainly one of the oldest restaurants in Kos town, and it's easy to see why it's still in business: a pleasant terrace, old-fashioned decor, music from the 1920s and, above all, good traditional cuisine, which is maintained year after year. Indulge in the house tsipouro with anchovies, kavourdisti (fried pork) and other tasty dishes. It's all about taking your time, and relaxing, as the tavern's name suggests, "Jamais le dimanche" if translated into French!

Entirely renovated in 2015, this restaurant owes its reputation to the dishes made from fresh fish that arrive every day from the islands of Kalimnos and Kos in Dodecanese. Even if Mikrolimano is saturated with fish restaurants, it stands out: excellent service, beautiful decoration and delicious seafood. As far as decoration is concerned, he likes to be inspired by retro images of our Côte d'Azur. Good-looking, then. Ask the waiter for the fresh fish of the day or let yourself be tempted by the famous astakomakaronada (lobster pasta).
