"Propodes" Taverna — Restaurant in Ioannina Municipality

So I don't know where to start. Let's start with some natural facts about Greece. Greece is a country with an abundance of oil. These guys have used all of it. I can't judge the actual flavor of the dishes since they were deep fried and drowned in oil. It's 2019 and there are cooking shows on every channel but these guys still cook the old school Greek way. As many other reviewers mentioned the prices were Not even close to these of the catalog. Again business tactics from the great Greek school of the 80s and the 90s.

My gf couldn't eat even half of it... Also one of the crayfish appeared to be female with a bunch of eggs on its belly, marking the end of our lunch there... Definitely wouldn't go there again... I might give the frog legs another try at another restaurant, although...

Wonderful restaurant. One of the few without the ugly touristy side to it. Original food and atmosphere. Great house wine. I would suggest to choose the eel and the frog legs.

Regarding those 1-star reviews, it seems like the reviewers don't know where and what they came to eat. You can't go there expecting the mild and uninteresting tastes your delicate taste buds are used to. Also you can't go there and expect the perfect beef or chicken. Their specialty is the fish and other delicacies.

Regarding the staff, they were very friendly and kind. Definitely worth its...
