Taverna Adonis — Restaurant in Kassandra Municipality

We ate here on 2 occasions during our holiday in Kriopigi.

The first time we ordered Tzatziki and bread, Kleftico, Honey & Fig Cheese, chips, 2 beers and a Vodka and Limon

The food was really good. As a vegetarian and not wanting a big meal I had the honey and fig cheese which was delicious. My husband had the Kleftico and he thought is was really good. The bill on this occasion came to €58.10

We found the service and staff efficient and friendly

As a vegetarian this is one of the few places that offers a choice of vegan main meals

If wish to order vegan Moussaka then this needs to be ordered in advance-so it may be worth asking the day before if you wish to order a vegan main dish!

We returned a few nights later, this time we ordered Hot Peppers grilled, Tzatziki and Bread, Mixed grill and Mushroom Pasta. A beer, a greek cider and a Vodka and Limon. The bill came to €66.40

As on the first visit the food was really good. We must have been recognised as returning diners as we got a warmer welcome and we were chatted to by the owner, and we were chatting about the produce he grows.

If you are visiting Kriopigi then we do recommend visiting the Adonis Tavera.

Good food and...

I have been using Taverna Adonis on my visits to Kriopighi since the age of 7, 18 years a customer.

This taverna is owned by Tollis and his son Raphael who are fantastic. The service they provide is nothing other than excellent. They are extremely friendly and helpful, nothing is too much hassle.

As a customer for all those years and all the trips to Kriopighi I can safely say that this year the service and quality of food received has improved highly to be one of the very best. Taverna Adonis is truly a gem in the village! The menu is outstanding, offering a wide variety of choices to suit every taste, and every dish I tried was absolutely delicious. The food is not only full of flavour and cooked to perfection but also excellent value for money easily the best meal I’ve had in the village this year.

The service was equally impressive: warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Taverna Adonis combines excellent food with a welcoming atmosphere, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’ll definitely be returning next year.

Give it a go if you...

This is the best place to eat in town. Family owned, hosted and staffed and in a lovely informal plant filled open space. After long chats on our first visit and forensic examination of the menus we now simply let our host choose our dishes and drinks. Works every night!

Vegans aren’t the easiest diners to satisfy as cheese plays such a big part of most vegetarian dishes in other restaurants here. Not at Adonis, or you can mix it up if you get chatting with the host who knows his stuff. We were surrounded by meat and fish eaters who all looked like they were having their best meals in town too and the fish in particular smelled fantastic. Also (nice and quiet) dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Recommended dishes: Spanakorizo, vegan mousaka, vegan stifado and a fab mushrooms earth pasta. Recommend drinks: all their Retsinas are great, try each to be sure which is...
