BATIS seafood Tavern –Nea Lampsakos!: Everything is fresh..try the Pikilia and Saganaki!

by greekcypriot

Batis at Nea Lampsakos is an old Seafood tavern very popular and worth visiting. It is found at Nea Lampsakos, the first village to the south of Chalkida. Everything is fresh here and the seashells are alive, move when some drops of lemon is poured on them.It is popular not only to locals and people from the round area but also from people coming from Athens to have lunch or dinner here. Ask for a pikilia and order some ouzo. What you get is fresh and smells sea!!Pikilia for two cost 15 euro, and it includes octopus, shells, prawns etc.Karafaki which is the small bottle of ouzo costs 7 euro - of course it depends to the quality and brand. Saganaki (prawns in tomato sauce) cost 8 euro, and prawns cost 10 euro. An echinus salad is brought in a small dish with lemon and oil, it is a bit pricy (10 euro) but it is fresh and very delicious. Angelos and Andromachi are the second generation...

PARALIA Taverna: The Chicken Kebab is Unbeatable here!

by greekcypriot

The many lights hanging all over the “PARALIA” Taverna attracts the attention of every passer. The taverna is located at 10 Voudouri street on the promenade waterfront pedestrian road next to the Lucy Hotel in Chalkida. Tel: 22210 87932.Prices vary depending on what one gets.The cheapest are the kebabs which are delicious. Try the chicken stick kebab (1.90). It is juicy and has sweet green pepper in between. The pork kebab (1.40) is nice but the chicken is unbeatable! A mixed salad costs 11.50 which I find pricy, and Cesar’s salad 7.20 euro.Local sausage costs 2.10 and a “pikilia for 2” costs 34 euro. This is a pricy dish as well.Another pikilia called “Bekri” and it is to accompany mostly wine for two persons costs 16 euro, and a kilo of Lamp chops here cost 32.00 euro. Grilled steak accompanied by either rice or fried potatoes costs 12.00 euro.The interior is nicely decorated with...

IL Posto di pasta: WATCH OUT! I cannot recommend it

by greekcypriot

The restaurant is located on the most popular pedestrian street of Chalkida’s waterfront promenade among a number of other popular restaurants. It offers an open area on the pavement and a covered roof to protect from wind or rain. The interior is nice and cosy and the cuisine is Italian. We thought to try this restaurant which is just a few metres from the Lucy Hotel where we are staying. We wanted to try some of the dishes, but what made us order something fast and leave was the bad ventilation of the building. The people sitting at every table all around us seemed to be enjoying smoking more than their food. There was so much smoke all around that we thought to have something quick and leave. In the meantime we had to change a seat and move towards the very entrance where there was less smoke since the door was kept open. We did not feel as comfortable as we wanted it to be because...

XENIA Cafe-bar (Restaurant) in Chalkida: Impressive and Popular!

by greekcypriot

The stylish Xenia café-bar Restaurant is impressive even in winter. Situated in the most idyllic location on the top of the hill just below the Castle of Karababa attracts many visitors even from Athens and it is encouraging how people in Greece check the Restaurants lately through the net, even café-bars that they are planning to visit. The economic crisis in Greece made everyone consider the least penny spent and the Xenia is indeed popular, keeping the price low and quality at the highest point!It was outstanding during the summer visit, but now in the middle of winter when everything moved indoors it is really amazing. The cozy atmosphere, its beautiful ambience and style, the beautiful design makes it unrivalled.The age of its fan followers or customers vary. There are not only youngsters but grown ups as well. The Xenia was not only full but there were people waiting to get a seat,...

PLATANOS Restaurant - Paradisi village: The 3rd generation of Professionals!

by greekcypriot

Paradisi is a very small village on the opposite side of the main highwaygoing to Marmari. We had lunch at the restaurant called ‘Platanos’ and I highly recommend it for its fresh and good quality food offered here.However, it is good to ask for the legal receipt after you pay because we were not given a receipt at first and we had to demand it. It was just a paper with the amount of each item we ordered.The food though, was tasty and the lamp chops I chose were the best quality I had ever had, and the green bean salad was exceptional. Shepherds keep goats and lambs in the area and these animals are known all over the country for their delicious meat.I found the portion of chops adequate and very cheap as I paid only 8 euro for it. The green bean salad cost us 5 euro, bread 2 and a bottle of water cost 1.50. Half a kilo of red carafe wine (home made product of excellent quality) for just...

'O MBATIS' Cafe and Mezedopolio -Marmari: Local cuisine, and fish meze!

by greekcypriot

We had lunch at this Fish restaurant the first day we reached Marmari. We loved the idea of sitting under the shade of trees next to the coast but the afternoon was rainy and when the first drops began to fall we had to move to the entrance of the little restaurant which protected us from getting wet. It was a disappointment at first, but after we had our lunch we did not regret it because both the food and service was excellent.We did not wish to have fish but ordered local dishes.We loved the local vegetable pie we had (chortopita) with spinach and cheese.This costs 7 euro. We also had ‘tiganopsomo’ cheese local fried pie, and some wine.A portion of small‘pikilia’ costs 18 euro and it is actually for 3 persons, salad costs 6 euro, one bottle of small ouzo is at 7 euro, and the speciality of the restaurant is the octopus for 10.5 euro.I liked what we had, and the location and service is...

He had dinner here last night and I have only good comments about it.Saganaki shrimps cost 12 euro, fresh squib 40 euro, salad 6 euro.The beer costs 3 euro and half kilo of local wine 3 euros.(vegetable pie) hortopita costs 7 euro.The view and beach opposite the restaurant are fabulous and I recommend it both for both lunch or dinner.

Thealos Restaurant -Cafe: Ideal for big gatherings -Wedding Cocktail Parties

by greekcypriot

Three weeks ago I visited this huge restaurant in Eretria as a guest at a friend’s wedding party. I was amazed with the surround area, the bride coming to the restaurant by boat, the beautiful premises and the passion of the owners. It is a family business and so they care for the best. The food was tasty and the quality just fine.The premises are ideal for group gatherings, Wedding Cocktail Parties, Birthday Parties and not only!! I promised myself to come back. So last night under a full moon we came here.There was a party gathering this time, people enjoying their meal, children playing at the separate- playground so the area was quiet away from children running and shouting, and couples were enjoying their dinner outing next to the beach. You can even hear the splashing of the waves on the coast. Just perfect!We had cheese rolls and dolmadakia (staffed vine leaves) and some wine. The...

O Yialos Ouzeri -Mezedopolio: Great Location, Excellent Fresh Seafood, and Cheap

by greekcypriot

We visited the restaurant “Yialos” which is by the small port near the fishing boats of Amarynthos in Euboea. It is on the coast next to the seafront.The atmosphere was magic under the full August moon. I asked for one portion of seafood (pikilia) which means a plate with a variety of dishes which included fresh fried squid, crab salad, one huge mussel, olives, fish, and one or two other things which I cannot remember. I was amazed because it was quite big and everything was tasty. This costs just 6 euro. I had a small bottle of ouzo for 6 euro, and my husband had a bottle of beer for 2 euro. Saganaki shrimps (shrimps in tomato sauce with cheese) cost 7 euro here and French fries 2.5 euro. A portion of either chough or chevron costs 6 euro.Out of curiosity I asked the cost of fresh squid and I was told that they cost 35 euro, but of course there are other dishes to choose from if...
