The best restaurants Chios Chora - Χωρα

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.

An appointment by the Greeks at the time of the aperitif, both for the map and the view of the port.

One of the best addresses of Chios is nicely installed in the remains of a historical house in the Kastro district. The atmosphere is perfect, especially in the evening, but beware that tables are scarce and demand is very high in season. To succeed in sitting here in the evening, it is essential to reserve in advance (and in August several days in advance!). The effort is worth it, beyond the enchanting setting, because the quality is there and the small dishes to share are really tasty, to be accompanied by a local craft beer.

This small mezzedopoleio is a gem not to be missed, for the authenticity of the place, the quality and freshness of the mezzes and the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It is far from the touristy restaurants of the sea front, far also from the more trendy attempts of the city center. We come here in all simplicity to share dozens of small dishes, around a bottle of local ouzo. Everything is good but don't hesitate to choose the mezzes of the sea, speciality of the place: you will enjoy fresh mussels, fried fish or marinated octopus.
