Lazarou diverges from his ‘fish and seafood only’ mantra that has guided Varoulko, to introduce some stand-out meat dishes. Insider recommends the peinirli with mince ragout and parmesan, the beef carpaccio with onion mayonnaise and a playful twist on the souvlaki – served in a glass with tenderloin and minced beef sauce with yoghurt! Even if you don’t have a sweet tooth, we’d highly suggest you try the dessert menu – for now we’ll just tickle your curiosity by saying, surprises abound !Now you know why Bites & Wines gets our vote for the best value-for-money waterfont dining experience.
