A lively, bustling Greek bistro that plays the carefree younger sibling to Mazi with a focus on charcoal-grilled small plates and loud, fun vibes.
Ordering Strategy
The menu is designed for sharing; start with the raw section and croquettes, then move to the charcoal grill items. Ordering 2-3 dishes per person is standard.
What to order
White Taramasalata with Homemade Bread
Critics consider this a 'strong contender' for the best in the city. It is 'reassuringly pale' and 'gently fishy,' served with 'thick, properly charred slabs' of bread dusted with oregano.
Whole Grilled Calamari
Cut 'hasselback-style,' this dish is praised for being 'beautifully tender' and picking up a 'nice smokiness from the grill' while remaining substantial.
Metsovone Croquettes with Bacon Jam
A 'double whammy' decadent starter that uses a unique Greek cow's milk cheese similar to provolone, paired with a rich, savory bacon jam.
Armenovil
A rewarding 'speciality of Thessaloniki' featuring semi-freddo ice cream, crushed meringue, and caramelized nuts 'swamped with hot chocolate sauce'.

Good to know
It can get very loud and busy, especially in the back dining room. There is counter seating by the open kitchen for a more immersive experience. Booking is recommended as it fills up fast.
