Fodor's Expert Review Vlassis

Relying on traditional recipes from northern Greece and the islands, as well as gourmet Mediterranean creations, the chefs here whip up some noteworthy home-style cooking in the heart of the city. With a menu that changes every winter and summer, this family-run restaurant, which opened in 1983, always centers on fresh regional ingredients such as fish, seafood, vegetables, cheeses, and meats. In winter, head inside, where large windows look out, and authentic works of art by well-known Greek painters decorate the walls. In summer book a table outdoors and watch the world go by.
