I’m a chef and I review restuarants when I travel- This place is iconic and more younger tourists should have it in their list! The food: They serve quality, and also very generous seafood served the classic way, highlight TENDEREST calamari I had in my life! The atmosphere: it’s like a Time Capsule to the 70/80’s and their servers are very attentive!
