The décor is Mondrian-inspired, the plating is beautiful, and the setting, is arguably, one of the most spectacular in Mikrolimano’s charming harbour. The wine list here, which boasts Greek and international labels, has been carefully curated to reflect Chef Lazarou’s sublime, yet unpretentious cuisine. Lazarou diverges from his ‘fish and seafood only’ mantra that has guided Varoulko, to introduce some stand-out meat dishes. Insider recommends the peinirli with mince ragout and parmesan, the beef carpaccio with onion mayonnaise and a playful twist on the souvlaki – served in a glass with tenderloin and minced beef sauce with yoghurt! Even if you don’t have a sweet tooth, we’d highly suggest you try the dessert menu – for now we’ll just tickle your curiosity by saying, surprises abound !Now you know why Bites & Wines gets our vote for the best value-for-money waterfont dining experience.
