“ The setting is perfect under the pine trees and next to the water. The menu is a bit limited but they do what they do quite well. Service is a little harried and the wine is not so great, better to stick with the ouzo or beer. All said, there aren't many better places to enjoy some fish, a great view, and while away an afternoon. ”
“ Traditional tavern and maybe the only one around the beach, serving mainly with seafoods,nothing special nothing bad.the tables near the seaside is very attractive ”
“ Simple food, amazing view and good service. Simply Greece ”
“ “A real Ma and Pa” fish tavern. The ladies are moving constantly in the kitchen, watching the pans, dressing the fish, cutting up the ingredients for the salad, serving the food… The “man” of the house is watching and coordinating (at a much slower pace), the waiters are running into and out of the tavern with a blank stare, the food is as real as it can be… vegies from local producers, fresh fish caught from local fishermen, and some from hatcheries—take your pick. It is as real as it can get. It is worth the extra mile. ”
“ Limited small menu but great quality. Unforgettable atmosphere over looking the most turquoise waters and plenty of shade from the trees on a hot summer afternoon. ”
“ Great service, accessible location, and a great place to wind down after a day of swimming. Always a preference for me and friends whenever we visit Porto Germeno. ”
“ I love this little Taverna as it is in a perfect location to step off the beach and have a lunch, dinner, beer or whatever you’re after. They have a great seafood menu that gives lots of options. The view is beautiful across the blue waters of the bay and looking up at the mountains. It’s an authentic Greek restaurant so I had to interpret the menu as not in English… easy with google interpret. Highly recommend if after the real local experience ”
