The best restaurants Euboea

A good restaurant near the sea with a nice shaded terrace. You will be with your feet in the water, almost literally, which gives this restaurant with its Italian accents an extra romantic feel. The menu is more Greek than the name of the establishment suggests but does not disappoint: gavros (anchovies), sardines and grilled octopus are on the menu. The menu is in Greek, English and French. There is plenty of choice with quality products. Perfect reception and service, professional and friendly.

Even if the most recommended establishment in the village is a pizza pizzeria, the restaurant remains very authentic. Classic card but homemade pizza cooked in open kitchens. And then, above all, this little view: on the other side of the port, its windows open onto the sea. Beware, it is often stormed!

A 15 minute drive from Marmari, this tavern lost in the land is worth a visit. Direction Paradisi for a stop in a family tavern. Far from the coast, there is little or no fish (a few gavros) and mostly meat dishes, some of which are produced here. Beef, pork and even wild boar on certain days. We especially appreciate the place at noon, for its terrace, and the possibilities of stroll which it offers around. Also on the menu, an excellent homemade pita that we recommend you finish at the hotel or the next day.

This snack bar is obviously an invitation to a snack, such as a pita or a club sandwich. However, we particularly appreciate its free deckchairs on the beach and its great tranquility. On this relatively unused part of the waterfront, swimming while you are being prepared a coffee shake or a fresh soda is a wonderful luxury at a very low price (2 € the coffee with its small bottle of water!).

This bistro has just brought to the city of Chalcis a great touch of freshness and good taste. Fresh salads, paninis, snacks to eat on site or to take away. An excellent choice for a coffee break or a refreshing fruit juice.

Completely renovated since April 2019 and with a new management, this establishment is a very good place to have a coffee, a snack or a small meal. The pastries and pastries are remarkable.

Cosy and elegant tavern on Chalcis beach, with small tables outside for summer. A wide variety of traditional dishes with modern touches. Season menus with, in choice, soup to courgettes, or farfadelles to eggplant and dried tomatoes for example. Eau and homemade desserts.

Close to Kymi Square, this tavern, very popular with locals, offers a wide variety of mezzedes and traditional Greek dishes. Everything we tasted was delicious, with a special mention for the goat stew in red sauce, with spaghetti, if the dish is on the menu. Nikolas, the owner, is very friendly and you might also enjoy talking with him. The rooms are clean and neat, the service is impeccable. Copious meals, simple and generous, with a good value for money.

On the beach, this small ouzerie grows its small tables outside the waves. Try shrimp saganaki (cheese), small fried squid or fresh fish…. A treat!

We tend to think that restaurants with typically Greek names (i.e. incomprehensible at first sight to those who do not speak the language) often have good surprises in store for us. Nevertheless: this restaurant soberly named "Greek Flavours" confirms the rule: fresh salads, small grilled fish, saganaki specialities and traditional sauce dishes, all with a very honest homemade tsipouro. And, above all, it's on the waterfront, above a small beach where you can take a dip while waiting to be served ..

You must speak Greek or have eaten there to validate the name of the establishment. Translate: the "extra" place or tavern. And it wasn't oversold. In front of the beach but under a shaded arbour, you will find here some very classic dishes of the day (fava, gemista, zucchini croquettes, we didn't leave anything!). In the kitchen, you can also choose your freshly caught and perfectly cooked fish. It is a little secluded, very Greek and family but also on the other side of the road to the seaside, facing the sea for a swim between two courses

Slightly set back from the port and in a small alley, the place is very pleasant. The Cavo d'Oro, a quasi-institution, has been operating as a restaurant since 1897. He spreads out his tables outside in a narrow alley where you can enjoy grilled meat to order. Also take fish, casseroles and stews. By the way, feel free to have a look in the kitchen. The portions are copious and the menu varies according to the season. The service is friendly, and the place is crowded... but not by tourists!

Namely: here, there is a real cult to Greek cinema, as evidenced by the decoration that gives pride of place to national glories. Moreover, the names of the dishes also refer to the cinema. This does not mean that the cuisine is not delicious: beautiful salads, meat on skewers or dumplings, stews and some pasta dishes (including spaghetti with excellent crayfish). Pleasant environment near the coast, with a family cuisine and attentive service. A good homemade wine too. In season, watch for musical evenings.

As its name suggests, this elegant tavern is located on the Amarynthos waterfront (at the entrance to the village, 7 km from Eretrie). The tables are by the sea, isolated from the (relative) agitation of the waterfront and offer the possibility to dive into the water before, during or after. The food comes from across the street too. We recommend the fish of the day, mostly not farmed, and you can choose it in the kitchen (by the kilo), depending on your budget.

We come here to meet up with family or friends on the heights. The traveller, on the other hand, will happily stop there when he leaves Marmari or Eretrie. You have to venture a little inland, but the trip is worth it. On the terrace with a view of the bay below, you will enjoy lamb chops, kokoretsi and other grilled meats. In this traditional tavern, which has been open since 1953, the generous feta, honey and sesame pitas are also available.

Before or after the beach, here is a more traditional tavern, ideal for mixing with the local population of retired tavli players and children on holiday. On the lively and lively main square, slightly set back from the sea and shaded, you will enjoy eating a few mezzes and/or a daily special. The gemista (vegetables stuffed with meat and rice) and soutzoukakia (meatballs with tomato) were perfect. Cheap and typical. You can also stop here for your morning coffee or an aperitif with a plate of squid.

The Greek name of the tavern means "the tale of Antonia". Anyway, it gives us a good story to tell. Leaning against a playground, the place and its terrace don't look like much. The mezzes and seafood are excellent, however, with a special mention to the squid offered fresh, with a slight supplement, but tender as you wish. It is the ideal place to stop at any time of the day for a small snack or while waiting for a boat.

Traditional Greek cuisine, fresh products and many dishes in sauce that you can often see in cooking. It is not uncommon for you to see what is preparing for the day. Among the classics: an excellent lamb in the oven.

When he arrived, the small plastic card did not augur well for the quality of the dishes. And yet, what a slap! It's simple and good. Fresh or grilled fish, fresh salads and a small selection of alcohols. The choice is limited, but it is impossible to be wrong, especially when sitting at a table on the beach, with the lapping of the waves and the sunset as the only horizon. As with the rest of this discreet resort, we enjoy being with a mainly Greek and local clientele. The addition increases a little if you opt for the day's fishing, but without regret
