Wood-oven dishes and the wider menu
The restaurant highlights lamb with stamnagathi, mutton in cooking paper and staka with eggs. The menu also lists seafood and vegetable dishes. Examples checked on 18 October 2026 include mutton in paper at €15.50 and an Ofto lamb portion of 500 g at €25; these are separate menu items, not a complete meal quotation.
Ingredients and the chosen dish
The mutton description includes feta and garlic. Gemista is listed with yogurt and fried potatoes, and boureki contains cheese. Ask about the actual preparation and any dietary adaptations rather than assuming a vegetable-based title means a vegan dish. Availability follows the kitchen’s current offer.
