If you spend a long enough time in Greece you will realize that most of the food are pretty similar in the way they serve it, but not in this place! The mixed grill for 2 here was absolutely the best mixed grill we eat in Greece (including other islands) because of the unique way they serve it. 4 dipping sauce, grilled veggies, potato and pita bread.

Very good restaurant in Pyrgos. Delicious food. Tasty beer from local brewery. Really enjoyed my lunch in this restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff. Cosy and romantic atmosphere. My daughter enjoyed playing with the cats. If you plan to visit Pyrgos I will recommend visiting this restaurant to enjoy your lunch or dinner.

I love burgers and try to eat them wherever I go on holiday. This place had some very good reviews for food including a few for their burgers so have it a try. The burger was very impressive! Clearly homemade and was very big. The meat has a lovely taste and was juicy. And it was covered in a kind of cheesy buttery sauce that only helped with the great taste (very messy to eat though!) The black carbon bun looked fun. Tasted like a normal bun, and was amazingly soft inside and crispy outside and tasted really fresh. My wife had the Kontosouvli pork (hanging kebab) served with really nice pitta bread. The meat was cooked nicely but was a bit fatty for our personal taste. Both meals came with really really well cooked lovely soft potatoes. So much better than fries! Was really nice sitting in the shade and the service was good. And they had a nice clean toilet. Would definitely recommend the burger here. Expensive but worth it.

Amazing! Food was just amazing. Only critique would be to clean the material that gives shade above head because the cats have ruined it and it’s a bit gross but everything is amazing staff! Food! Amazing
