The Verdict

Recommended — the north Greek way of eating: small plates and a clear spirit, slowly, for hours.

Why go

To experience the tsipouro-and-meze culture of Thessaly and Macedonia — a glass of the grape spirit with each round of small dishes, eaten across an afternoon. The social heart of northern Greek eating.
