Mezen — Restaurant in Volos Municipality

A Must-Visit Tsipouro & Meze Experience in Volos!

During our two-day trip to Volos, one of the must-visit spots on our list was Mezen, inspired by the recommendation of the YouTubers TechItSerious, and it did not disappoint!

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect stage for an unforgettable tsipouro and meze experience. The attention to detail in every dish was evident, with each bite showcasing rich flavors and top-quality ingredients.

Our waitress was the star of the evening. She was incredibly kind and wonderful, despite being run off her feet the entire evening. She was very apologetic for the things that went wrong, but she did everything she could to make our evening enjoyable.

I eventually ordered the blue crabs, which were excellent, but my wife’s order had been dropped in the kitchen (feta meatballs). The new meatballs arrived nearly 45 minutes later and they were very dry. There wasn’t any feta inside, only some on the side (which tasted great).

This place is definitely worth a try. We were just a bit unlucky on the...
