Choose the ouzeri and heritage setting
Greek Gastronomy Guide’s on-site account traces the café to 1885 and describes its later development into a tavern-ouzeri under the Papadopoulou family. Reported dishes include soutzoukakia, dolmadakia, sardines and bougiourdi. These describe the meze tradition; ask about today’s kitchen selection.

Confirm the entrance and intended service
The public operator page lists dine-in, outdoor seating and Alexandrou Papadopoulou 72. The older report gives 74, so confirm the entrance before travelling through Ano Poli. Current coffee-only service, opening hours and table availability were not established. The retained exterior photograph documents the venue, not current access.

Is Tsinari a confirmed current coffee-only destination?
Its current operator presents an ouzeri/diner. Ask about coffee-only service; it is retained as food and café-house heritage context.
Why do two street numbers appear?
