I'm writing again because the admin of this place made my first review removed for a reason I cannot understand. I submitted an appeal. The funny thing here is, they ask customers to write reviews but you are obviously only allowed to write positive things. If you don’t, the admin responds to every single review in a sarcastic and partially insulting way (you can check it on your own if you like). These stretch from "your review makes absolutely no sense" to "we understand you have never had fresh octopus before". Sometimes customers get a piece of advice such as "if your budget is small, a snack bar will suit you the best" or "read the menu carefully next time". In an even more hostile example, the customer's behaviour is described as "disgusting" and it is told to "stay away" from the restaurant! Honestly: Why is it so difficult to accept criticism from your customers? They are not meant to destroy your business. If you wanted, you could even get some clues how to better your quality. They praise you in some cases, in other cases they criticize you. Why do you choose to react in such a hostile way to criticism? Now, to your response to my first (removed) review: I had complained about the small size of your salad, grilled sardines and pita. Since I'm a local guide, I had dinner on Thasos on many places and in many other places in Greece, as well. So, I compared these with the ones I ate before. Where exactly is the problem here? I didn't like skordalia and was curious if it really was skordalia. So, I asked a waiter, and he didn't know what it was, which I find quite strange. It feels as if you go to a showroom and ask which car a certain car is, and the seller can't tell if it is a Volkswagen or another car. The admin responds that the waiter couldn't know it because he didn't take my order. But c'mon: I pointed at my plate and asked him: What is it? Is it skordalia? And he doesn't know the things served in the restaurant he is working. How is this even possible? I said the spicy pepper was too hot and I could not eat it. Then, I said the cheese salad was not spicy enough. There comes the admin again and feels obliged to make fun of my comment with a stupid icon, as if what I am saying was a contradiction. It is common sense that only a certain range of spiciness is palatable. Of course, this range changes from person to person. But if your opinion is asked, you certainly give your opinion: If something is too spicy, it is not tasty. If something is not spicy enough. The result is the same: It is not tasty. So, where is the contradiction here? And why mocking the customer here again? I wrote, we paid 55 € and were not quite full afterwards, which was true. Partly because the portions were small, and partly because we could not eat everything because they were not tasty. I did not write an all-negative review: I praised the feta with oregano, the feta with sesame and honey, the female waitress who is fluent in English and the fact that they feed cats with the rest food, which I liked, as I am a cat person. In fact, the real problem here is not the food or something else. The real problem is the attitude. You don't ask your customers for their opinion and attack them if you don't like them.
Friendly advice: Maybe the admin should waste less time on writing mocking responses to clients and invest more time to speak to his chef and his team about possibilities to enhance the quality of this place. I mean no harm. But for this bad attitude, I am downgrading my formerly two stars on one star, knowingly that this attitude does not even earn one star. Last reminder: You cannot tell your clients "your plates came back empty which means that they were not awful". They pay for it and they are hungry. So, they eat it. But edible food is one thing, and delicious food is another one. And you don’t mention the sweet you offer them after the meal as a gesture of courtesy. This is a standard everywhere in Greece, anyway. They don’t mention the tips they give...
Read moreBig disappointment after reading good reviews about this place. Small sized salad after having gigantic salads at Mesogios in Limenas. The same is true for the grilled sardines, size- and taste-wise.
Skordalia tasted like everything else than itself, hardly any garlic to be found in it. When we asked the young waiter what it is, he was not sure what it is and told us that he should ask somebody. I think it is quite strange in a restaurant that waiters do not know what they offer.
The spicy pepper was so hot that it could destroy your entire sense of taste.
The tyrosalata was ok but lacked a bit spiciness. The normal feta with oregano was nice. The pita portions were delicious but a bit too small.
The only really delicious thing we ordered was feta with sesame and honey.
All in all, we paid 55 € and were not quite full.
The English speaking female waitress was friendly and very fluent in English.
The best thing about this place is that they feed cats with the rest food. They ask you not to feed them on your own since they do it for you. But this friendliness towards cats is a...
Read moreI’ve had the pleasure of dining at this outstanding Greek taverna in the Prinos region of Thassos multiple times with my family, and each visit has been nothing short of perfect. The location is charming and offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that perfectly complements its exceptional cuisine.
The highlight of my culinary journey here has to be the marinated gravos. This dish is a true masterpiece – the fish is exquisitely fresh, perfectly marinated. It’s a must-try for anyone visiting.
The traditional Greek food served here is consistently excellent. The variety of fresh fish dishes is impressive, each prepared with care and a touch of authenticity. Whether it’s grilled or fried, the seafood is always top-notch.
In addition to the seafood, the taverna also excels in its traditional Greek offerings. The Souvlaki is a standout – tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
Also worth mentioning is the friendly service which makes this taverna a true gem. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience the best of Greek...
