Hervorragendes Essen, sehr raffiniert abgestimmt und von bester Qualität. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam und bestens geschult. Das Ambiente im schönen Garten war traumhaft. Wirklich die beste Adresse, um in Agios Nikolaus einen wundervollen Abend zu verbringen!!! Wir kommen sicher wieder!! Vielen Dank an das gesamte Personal!🫶

Πολύ ωραίος χώρος, εκλεκτές γεύσεις, ταχύτατο service και προσεγμένο μέχρι και την τελε ταία λεπτομέρεια (σπιτικό παγωτό, ελαιόλαδο δικιά το ς παραγωγής). Δεν εχω λόγια...

Excellent experience for my boyfriend's birthday. Attentive and professional staff, elegant yet relaxing atmosphere with great music. The food was outstanding - the Shrimp Saganaki was EXCEPTIONAL! Highly recommended if you want a special dinner with a beautiful view over Agios Nikolaos. A nice change from the usual menus, but with a true Greek soul. Absolutely worth it.

Really nice restaurant.. They can be reached by the stairs and to our surprise they have an inner garden ( with a secret wine cellar) which is really nice to sit. The service was great with a good recommendation on the (red) wine. Good quality food. This is a restaurant away from the real tourist places where your can enjoy piece and quiet over a good dinner.

Separate from the restaurant, our bakery is a place where every morning begins with the crackle of fresh sourdough and the scent of buttery pastries. Using authentic methods and the purest ingredients, we craft bread and sweets that warm the heart and awaken the senses.
