Sister restaurant of Kokkari, Evvia has been serving authentic rustic Greek cuisine since 1995. Our fresh fish, savory roasted meats and grilled and roasted vegetables are perked up with a squeeze of lemon, a splash olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs. There is perfection in simplicity.

    So. Great. Best restaurant meal I've had in a long time. I don't mind pricey as long as it's fabulous - and it was.

    Food was excellent! We were there for lunch with an old friend we hadn’t seen in a long time and stayed over 3 hrs. There was no hint of wanting us to leave despite that we were the last. We only had salad and the lamb riblets which are always delicious along with wine that the waiter recommended. He let us try it before serving it. We also had dessert which was delicious chocolate cake with sour cherry ice cream and also hazelnut honey ice cream which was also delicious.
