We had already decided to give this place a try but were quickly pounced upon but the staff rounding up custom- this was very unlike the other more laid back tavernas nearby. The bread was quite dry and processed and I suspect charged for. We had dakos, which was fine, and meatballs, which were a bit dry and processed and then an uninspiring moussaka and a single stick of souvlaki. The beer in a boot was amusing and we ordered a carafe or wine and were then given a free one which was generous but we really didn't need it! The service was super quick, in fact too quick as we were then left with a cafare of wine to drink after finishing! We couldn't help but wonder if this is a tactic to keep the restaurant busy...
We had been under the impression this was a cheaper place to eat but managed to run up the largest bill we had in Plaka! I suspect there were hidden charges but we didn't have the chance to check. Overall the experience was all a bit of a let down and we quickly stuck to other options in the village that were better service, food and...
Read morePerched at the top of a windy hill, this spot really does feel like a hidden reward once you get there. The climb might be a bit of a workout, but trust me, whether you’re coming up just for a drink or settling in for the evening, it’s worth it. Or just drive and enjoy the town square. The vibe is amazing, relaxed, welcoming, and full of character. The staff couldn’t be lovelier; they treat you with such warmth that you instantly feel at home. Honestly, the people here are half the reason you’ll want to keep coming back. And I’ve got to mention the owners’ daughter, she’s an absolute gem. Hardworking, kind, and the kind of person who makes the whole place shine even brighter. Theodosia is truly an angel. Ask her anything even questions about walking tours and she will smile and answer, If you’re after great ambiance, heavenly service, and that “glad I made the trek” feeling, this place is it. Plaka is not just a word for joke it’s a little slice of food haven...
Read moreWe went here a week ago at this point. We got it as take-away and the food was decent. Not too bad but nothing special. As I was leaving, the man offered me two free bottles of wine in water bottles (looking back this should've been a red flag). But it's Greece; my group of 6 didn't think much of it. Well, at 2 AM I woke up puking, along with 5 out of the other 6 people in the airbnb. The only one to not get sick did not have any of the "free" wine. We were all sick for the next 18 hours. Note to self: never drink wine out of a water bottle again. But yeah, I would never eat here if I were you. It's not worth it. Don't let questionable health standards ruin your trip. Just skip past this place.
If you have to eat here, don't accept the wine unless you see it opened in...
