The best restaurants Fri

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.

This tavern is the fiefdom of Chief Sophia Makrygiannaki. She cooks local specialities: succulent stuffed vine leaves (dolmades), makarounes with onions and local cheese, sitaka. The menu is limited, and even if the menu displays many dishes, they will not all be available on the day of your visit... It is an unpretentious restaurant, which has been serving good homemade food for years. You will be pleasantly installed on the port of Bouka, in a soothing setting with a view of the church of Saint-Spyridon.

Giaeli is located on the small port of Bouka. It spreads out its tables right in front of the church of St. Spyridon and has a slightly more modern interior than the other establishments that have been on the island for decades. Try the honeyed feta puff pastry as a starter and try a non-vegetarian variation of the traditional makarouns, with minced meat and sitaka. If you order in advance, you can also try the lamb with paspara stuffing: a mixture of rice, onions, tomatoes and spices with liver. Good house wine.

This tavern is a delightful option in the narrow streets of Fri, set back from the port. You'll enjoy delicious home cooking, prepared with the freshest ingredients, including vegetables from the owners' garden. If possible, opt for the dish of the day, which is always delicious. You'll certainly have the chance to try some of the island's specialties, such as the local squid ink risotto known as soupiopilafo in Kassos, or skate fillets (rare in the rest of the Greek islands), accompanied by skordalia, a garlic sauce.
