The plates that decide it
- Grilled octopus on fava purée, and the Arcadian-feta cheese pie — chef Periklis Koskinas's pared-back, ingredient-first signatures
- The dorade royale carpaccio, or the grilled fish of the day with wild greens — reliably well done across the menu
- Expecting cutting-edge experimentation — this is refined comfort, not avant-garde
Plan it well
- Cost
- Upper-mid; modern Greek pricing
- Allow
- 1.5–2 hours
