For a lovely Tuesday at the end of our holiday we couldn't have stumbled onto a nicer and tastier restaurant. Lovely tasty schnitzels and seeing other food and customers who were also equally delighted at the fayre coming out of the kitchen. Complimentary ouzo and salad was a lovely touch. Lovely friendly staff who wanted to talk to us. You won't be disappointed!

It was late, after 10pm and they were still open. The waitress speaks English and she explained all we needed to know about the menu. The whole environment was great! The other clients made us feel welcome as well, showing us where the best tables were placed. The fries were decorated with a thin slice of watermelon what gave the dish a beautiful color. They gifted us with a traditional drink in an exotic glass that we had fun with. Loved this restaurant. Thank you so much! Special thanks to Marjiola, the waitress. You've made our day and gave us unforgettable memories for our trip in Europe.
