Food was great, everything the waiter recommended was tasty and very well done. He was extremely friendly and helpful. In the end we received two plates of local dessert on the house. The price was excellent too. The only reason for the 4 instead of 5 star review is due to the smoking area being inside and so close to the non-smoking one. Whenever someone lit a cigarette on the other side we smelt it too which definitely impacted our experience.

Loved everything about it. The atmosphere, the decor, the food and especially the staff! With a really good selection of both traditional and some more exotic recipes at baffling low prices. My tip? Do not overlook this place. Grab as many friends as you can reasonably find and go have a blast. It isn't called what it's called for nothing. Trust me, it'll be your group's new hangout spot in a jiffy!

Following the amazing location and views outside the restaurant, we were welcomed with a warm and cozy atmosphere inside. A really well taken care of establishment. Regarding food each plate was apparently made with fresh ingredients and cooked to the point. Except for a minor salt imbalance the whole course was amazing. Lastly the staff was really accommodating, coordinated and polite.

I've been here twice already - the service is excellent and the food is divine. The place is seeped in history and tradition. The owner has built a wonderful ambience that transports you back in time. The whole experience is full of intentionality and a deep connection with the nature around you and the history of the town.

Old Town is a really nice Cody restaurant in the Old Town 😂. The food was really good and the value for money is great. We ordered two meat dishes, two starters and 4 glasses of wine and we paid 30 euro! They loose one star for the service. We we the only ones sitting inside and they were really late to see us and take orders and payment

Ok place just opposite the lake. Nice food, excellent grilled lamb chops and pork chop, cooked to perfection! The only thing was that we found the place a bit messy...

A cozy little restaurant in the old town that serves a great variety of tasty food. We tried the stuffed cabbage leaves, smoked mackerel, local giant beans, grilled peppers and a cabbage salad. All were great meze for our tsipouro. The service was good and there is outside seating available for the summer months.

The restaurant Allotino tavern offers delicious food with generous portions. They serve tasty dishes such as fried mushrooms and caramelized almond salad, although it is advisable to ask for the dressing on the side. Located near a busy road, it still provides great value for money. Not only does it boast the best views of Kastoria's lake, but the staff are also welcoming and friendly. The food itself is exceptional, making it a must-visit for anyone in town.
Surprising good. Service is fast and polite, food tasteful and above average, portions big. Overall experience very satisfying!

The food is good and the portions enormous. Try the fried mushrooms or the caramelised almond salad (ask them to bring the dressing apart as Greeks regularly overdress. Pity it's next to a busy road otherwise it is a great value proposition.

Tasty good food, very good service, nice view of the lake, cozy place, i will return no doubt. Cons. Among other things we ordered kalamarakia, in my knowledge thats baby kalamari while they brought us big kalamari rings and tentacules. Not sure if was a missunderstanding or if kalamarakia doesnt mean what i thought, however they were very tasty and i didnt think it was the case to make it a big deal. Recomend this restaurant. Geisha salad is super.

It was recommended to us by the hotel we are staying at, we walked in around 20:00 and received welcoming service, the waitress spoke English very well and understood our requests easily, the menu was small but looked local and tasted delicious, we ordered different things as to taste as much as possible and it was amazing!! We didn’t wait long for the food at all and soon we found the place get filled with people, it was very clear that it was famous between locals, I’d recommend reserving if you are coming around 21:00. As you can see we emptied everything on the plates aside from a bit of pasta since we all were full

What a fantastic find. Our family turned up without a booking on an extremely busy evening (Christmas Eve) and they could have easily turned us away. Instead, we got the best meal of our holiday. Everything we tried on the menu was delicious (the unusual “san sarmas”, a type of deconstructed lahanodolmades proving to be everyone’s favourite). The chef clearly cares and the ladies who work there were super helpful, with a smiley, can-do attitude. Well done and thank you!
