Χρύσανθος Chrysanthos — Restaurant in Ioannina Municipality

If you want the best food, best view of the lake, best meat (local, organic, natural), best tasting French fries, lamb and beef (I bet you don't even know what beef is supposed to taste like), come here.

Fantastic tavern, make a reservation, but if you want to eat local and traditional meals, instead of modern hipster nonsense, come to a tavern from 50 years ago, with history, family owned and operated, and great local beers and wines.

Prices are fair, there's swings because it's kid friendly, and plenty of street parking.

Don't go to 5 star reviews, go where the locals tell you, our hotel hosts told us to come here, and the lamb reminded me of my dad's village from when...

Chrysanthos Tavern is an absolute must-visit if you're looking to experience authentic local cuisine. The food here is nothing short of amazing! From the fresh, flavorful ingredients to the perfectly balanced dishes, every bite was a delight. We particularly loved the traditional dishes, which were prepared with so much care and attention to detail. The warm and cozy atmosphere made the experience even better, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this culinary gem. Highly...

It was recommended to always call and make a reservation, as you might not find an available table.

Their signature salad is highly recommended. Quite refreshing!

We took a Brizola mosxarisia and chicken filet and both plates were big portions. Served with potato and the chicken had also rice. Both were good and satisfying.

No sweet was served at the end as per Greek traditions but maybe that was because we left immediately after.

Overall this place is pretty...
