Taverna Votsalo — Restaurant in Municipality of Nea Propontida

The food here is always delicious – truly fresh and tasty, and that keeps us coming back. However, it’s clear they really need more staff to handle the crowds. The waiters are constantly rushing around, doing the work of several people just to keep up with the full terrace. Because of that, the service quality suffers: the staff barely has time to be polite, and dishes often feel like they’re being dropped off in a hurry rather than served.

It can get so crowded that it almost feels like a fast‑food “all you can eat” spot, which takes away from the otherwise great atmosphere. Another challenge is that the person taking orders speaks only Greek, so it’s quite hard to ask questions or clarify anything beyond just saying what you want to eat.

Prices are reasonable – not the cheapest, but fair for what you get – and the portion sizes match the price. Overall, the food remains a highlight, but better staffing and a bit more attention to customer interaction could really take the experience to...

Fries? Greasy. Chicken? Still clucking. Sprite? The paper wrap had mold freckles. Nice touch.

The service? Forgetful, not just slow. Orders didn’t come out wrong—they just didn’t come out at all unless you reminded them repeatedly. “Hey, you forgot the souvlaki.” Wait. Ask again. Wait some more.

Staff spoke English like they learned it from a bootleg anime sub. Every simple request turned into a confusing blank stare from mr waiter.

And let’s circle back to the mold—because yes, not only was it creeping across the Sprite label, but a bathroom ceiling corner looked like a science fair gone wrong- i'm concerned it might also be the case in their storage area because of the Sprite bottle. Clean dining area, sure. But once you step into the washroom area? Welcome to Mold Country.

Zero stars. Bring snacks—you might wait long enough to starve. And maybe a hazmat suit or two- for the...

This place was full so we thought it must be good. That was our first mistake. I still don’t know why so many people go there. The service was subpar. We got menus and water pretty quickly but then waited very long to order, as several waiters passed our table and ignored us. After waiting so long we considered leaving, but we didn’t (which was our second mistake.) Eventually we ordered and the food that arrived was the worst food we had in Greece. Some of it was cold, some of it was tasteless, some of the ingredients didn’t seem fresh. We only tried a couple bites before giving up. We wanted to pay and leave and had to remind the waiter several times to bring us the check. Our whole family felt sick later that night. Please don’t repeat our mistakes...
