Taverna To Kalo Pigadi — Restaurant in Skiathos Municipality

Ouzeri "To Kalo Pigadi" is 2 minutes walk from my apartment so it was convenient for a lunch or evening meal. When I went for lunch it was frequented by locals, a good sign. It's possibly the most authentically Greek taverna I ate in all week. But evenings it seemed closed as far as I could gather. However there are plenty of other eateries open nearby, within minutes. Prices seemed reasonable - I paid 26 euros for lovely fresh Greek bread, a larger than usual portion of taramasalata with pita, a plate of freshly boiled shrimps, a large beer (very well priced at 4 euros) and half a litre of Retsina. It's shaded by a plane tree, just off Papadiamantis. Ambience was relaxed. Service was fine. I liked it. Check...

We went to this tavern because it had amazing reviews and we indeed were impressed by the quality of food. However they offer small portions for salads (10 euro greek salad and the portion was so small) and fish while the price offered is pretty high, example 13 euros for some grilled sardines.

The taverna is pretty simple, basic, old design from the 90s far from the center and everywhere there are cats that stare at you, including a mutant monster cat without nose that stays next to you. So you can imagine that the cleanness is not that high.

At the end when we payed (50 euro) the papou said he will get back to us with some sweets, as they do at greek tavernas, but we waited and waited and papou...

Kalo Pigadi, YOU have to go! Amazing sea food and the most hospitable, kind and smiling hosts, even under high pressure and at 45°C!! It is located in the heart of Skiathos town, in a quite area. Since we visited it, we kept going almost every day during our vacation. It is better to put all the dishes in the middle of the table, to share and taste everything. We loved the cheese balls with the home made marmalade (different every time), the salmon balls and all kinds of fish, the boiled vegetables and of course the Greek salad. And the prices are very reasonable too. I highly recommend it...
