On a trellised lane by the harbor, Euripides Tatsionas's restaurant, the best in Tinos, turns out to be no more expensive than a taverna. The name means "between us," and a friendly air prevails. The decor is traditional -- pale yellow walls, wooden furniture, high stone arches -- and the staff is welcoming. From starters to desserts, the food is homemade, but with a haute-Athenian flair. For a starter, try deep-fried sun-dried tomatoes or hot eggplant slices wrapped around cheese, mint, and green pepper. Among the main dishes, the spicy lamb cooked in paper is especially succulent; the beef fillet with peppers is also exceptional. With a fireplace in winter and an air conditioner for summer, this place stays open year-round.
