  I ordered the fava with octopus after seeing so many glowing reviews, but it didn’t live up to the hype. The sauce had a slightly artificial aftertaste, and the octopus didn’t feel as fresh as promised. The spicy pepper meze was bland and uninspired, and the tsipouro was far from exceptional — but hey, you get what you pay for.

  I walked 10-15 minutes from the center to this place! And I'm so glad I did. So glad! It is a family-run establishment. I was greeted by a lovely woman and a man who used to be a naval officer. Lovely and friendly people! Another "highly" rated place I tried going to was closed despite their hours advertising otherwise. It's a Tsipouradiko that only serves fish: the concept is that for every bottle of Tsipouro you order, you get a few Mezes. I ordered two bottles and got three: the best taramasalata I've had anywhere, so creamy and buttery, the black-eyed peas with smoked fish pastirma and grilled mackerel with potatoes 🥰😋💕. Despite the simplicity of how it all reads and looks, it's hard to describe how fresh and unique it all tasted: the sea in your mouth! 👄 Greek Meze culture at its finest: I never truly understood the concept of a Meze. Now I think I do. The aesthetics of the place itself gives the feel of a fishing lodge: it totally makes sense that the husband was a marine officer 😄 😉. The stone walls, the decoration, the wooden grey and white scaffolding. The music 🎶 is a combination of traditional and modern pop Greek 🇬🇷 music, at just the right volume. The poem in the picture translates to: "Τη νύχτα σου 'πα στο καμπούνι μια ιστορία την ίδια που όλοι οι ναυτικοί λένε στη ράδα τα μάτια σου τα κυβερνούσε σοροκάδα, κι όλο μουρμούριζες βραχνά: Φάλτσο η πορεία..." Νίκος Καββαδίας "At night I told you in the cabin the same story that all sailors tell in the roadstead, your eyes were ruled by the sirocco wind, and you kept muttering hoarsely: The course is wrong..." Nikos Kavvadias Ράδα (Rada) means "roadstead" (a sheltered area near shore where ships can anchor). When it came time to pay, I couldn't believe it all only cost me 10 euros. Good, honest people. I can't wait to come back. In Volos, Greece with you, my loves 💕.

  One tsipouro, one meze — true Volos style! Panagiotis (the owner) was very friendly and took the time to explain how to eat and drink like a local. Great experience, highly recommend if you want to enjoy tsipouro the authentic way.

  Taverna is located outside tourist area but not more than 10 minutes walking from center. You can have good and varied meze with our without tsipouro.

  Excellent food, the best of the area honestly!!The chef is an artist who really cares about quality ingredients. The staff is very friendly. All the seafood we had was freshly caught.
