Tavern The Waters of Agia Varvara — Restaurant in Drama Municipality

We went to this restaurant twice, as a couple of locals rated it highly. We had pasta the first night, which is just pasta with a basic tomato sauce with it. A bit boring. The cheese helped it. We gave it another chance for this restaurant to redeem itself, as we felt like we probably just ordered a basic meal that didn’t suit us. The service was great on this night and the staff were lovely The 2nd night we ordered the tsatiki and that was alright, as were the fried zucchini. The fried cheese was nice though.

Don't let the modest look fool you - this place is a hidden gem. I strongly recommend it for the warm vibes, huge portions, and...

Very good food, especially the meat, very nice location, very polite staff. We ordered soutzoukakia and snitzel, they were very tasty. The only thing I didn't like was the taste of the olive oil in my daughter's salad but it might just be me. It was also pretty busy but it's expected on a Saturday afternoon in August. They brought us sweets as a treat (a very nice custom in northern Greece taverns which I always appreciate) and it was very generous. Here's a photo of the dessert, the rest were devoured too quickly to...
