We just had dinner at To Pazari, a restaurant recommended as a place where locals eat .. and that couldn’t be more true. This is a high-end restaurant with the warmth and heart of homemade cuisine—exactly what we love!
My family and I shared a whole red dorado (for three people) and a grilled octopus. The dorado was incredibly fresh (caught that day), with perfectly crisp skin and simple seasoning that let the tender, flavorful fish shine.The grilled octopus (half an octopus) was cooked to perfection.

I'm terrified by the...

On the night we went we were the only customers and we were simply asked ""what do you want" without a menu. The Greek salad actually was actually good but the large portion of octopus was overcooked and tastless. Moussaka was a small portion cut into slices to look bigger and looked/tasted like it had been prepared days peviously. There was no atmosphere, disinterested service and the location is somewhat depressing. From the good reviews we expected much better and decided not to order anything else. Just as well!! It could have been so much better. Really...
