Where we send our friends.

Contemporary Greek cooking with attention to detail. Roof garden overlooking Palamidi and Bourtzi. Large, carefully chosen wine list.

Ask for the corner table on the rooftop. Probably the best dinner-with-a-view in town.

Stone walls, narrow space, wooden tables on the cobbles. Small plates, taramasalata done properly, octopus on the grill. The locals' choice.

Go early or book. It fills up.

Fresh fish and seafood mezze right on the water. Not "the best" — reliable. That kind of dependable middle that's quietly the most important thing.

Sit on the veranda. If it's windy, pick somewhere else.

The best souvlaki in Nafplio. For when you don't want to sit but you want to eat well. Always full, always fresh.

Pork skewer & rustic potatoes. Takeaway works too.

Italian cooking from an actual Italian chef. Handmade pasta, fish, and something of the Riviera you rarely find this side of the Adriatic.

Anniversary, date night, or just a good evening.

Old-school taverna in a restored stable. Meats on charcoal, generous portions, house wine in carafes. Not for the faint-hearted.

Go with a crowd, share plates.

The most ambitious restaurant in Tolo. Modern reinterpretation of Argolid flavours, lovely service, wine list with local varieties.

Try the tasting menu if you're a couple. Book ahead — it's a small space.

Taverna set among olive trees, between Tolo and Drepano. Home-style stews, lamb in clay pot, bread baked on the premises. No sea view — olive view.

Sunday lunch. Order anything labelled "grandfather's".

Our own tavern — running as a family business for sixty years. Mediterranean cooking from our own fields. Open to outside guests too.
