Drakoulis Dry & Raw - Butcheries Voula — Restaurant in Municipality of Vari - Voula - Vouliagmeni

We paid 450€ including 15% tip.

1. There is a butcher/raw meat smell down to the restaurant.

2. Very expensive for the quality and for Greece standards.

3. Questionable tactics.

First and foremost water. I clearly said that I want tap water (Athens has pretty good water, no point in paying for bottled one). I guess waitress ignored me and was bringing bottled one (5 euros per bottle) and seemlessly was refilling our glasses.

Wine. We wanted some wine, waitress proposed a specific one without mentioning anything about the price, turns out it was 30-40€ per glass (I could never imagine they could charge so much for a glass of wine, especially like that, I guess the waitress had no problem maybe to bring a 1000$ per glass wine?? Very generous of her. Btw I have been in multiple wineries drinking very expensive wines, did they chose to give us a 500€ wine per bottle?)

Appetizers: very expensive small portions and medium quality. Chicken not well cooked in Cesar salad and gyros was just ok and these at triple the price of a normal grill place in Athens.

Meat: Meat was ok nothing special, we got American Wagyu, but it was very overpriced (makes sense since it is imported). Though for some reason they try to sell you the japaneese Wagyu A5 cuts which whoever knows about Wagyu understands that wagyu rib-eye is too heavy for a meal, and for Australian Wagyu it doesn’t worth to give that much money since at states it is 1/3 the price, and they seemed a bit upset that we didn’t want to get the Jappaneese cut.

Overall the place seemed a bit pretentious with a feeling of trying to make you spend more and more money with sketchy practices and not clear communication of prices etc.

With the price we paid we could have gone to multiple Michelins star restaurants in Athens and maybe a bit more to go to places like French laundry in states with three Michelie stars. If in Greece stay local and try the delicious food of...

We came here for nice dinner in our last day of vacation in Greece. We arrived here by taxi around 10 pm. First we thought it was close, its little darker inside and we couldn't see tables. Looked like butcher, wine store lol I told driver to wait and went to check it. There were few people there, ladies said that they have table for us. We followed her downstairs and that were whole restaurant part was.

It's small but it's really nicely done. Seating there, you getting vibe of some Vip spot or place where "mafia" play cards and drink in the movies lol

Service was awesome. We were the only ones there. Lady took good care of us and explained us everything. We ordered steaks. We went upstairs to choose steak type and size. when it was done, gentleman brought it and cut it for us. It was excellent, the best steak we ate and we ate a lot of steaks. We had French fries for side. They were great also. My Wife had glass of white wine. I had two desserts for myself (my Wife wanted to finish fries and had no more room). I got cheesecake and some.chocolate like lava cake with ice cream. Both were delicious.

Overall we had great and luxurious experience....

Overpriced? No, it was extremely overpriced.... Meat is good but not that much, 300g of Greek meat for 87 euros... what to say except that there is no transparency about price (illegal practice in Europe) and the meat was not worth a filet you will get for 30 euros per kilo in a butcher. Needless to say that the place is not worth it. I strongly recommend to avoid it and to go to a Michelin star restaurant where you can enjoy a real experience. Tartare with French meat ... well charolay is a standard meat in France, please go for salers, aubrac or limousine if you like quality... French wine... such a shame to sell for so much money French wine that are simply basic and not demonstrating the good wineries you can find in France... Unless you have hundreds of euros to spend and you don't know how to spend it...
