Taverna Peinaleon
Traditional dining in a traditional neighbourhood (d; €)
In operation for well over 50 years, the owner can regale you with tales of his beloved native island of Chios as he serves you delicious fava beans and pork with Mastic gum (indigenous to the island) and fennel, to name but a few dishes.
There’s a roaring log fire in the corner, and live Rembetiko (Greek Blues) music at the weekend.
