Taverna Camille Stefani - Φηρά

One of our favorite hobbies when traveling is trying local food. In Fira, we made no exception, so we tried to find an authentic Greek tavern with a very traditional menu that served homemade products. The chosen restaurant was Nikolás, located on the steep street of Erithrou Stavrou, right in the heart of Fira. This traditional tavern had all the ingredients we were looking for. Whitewashed facade with blue doors and windows. Inside, a fresh atmosphere and tables with checkered tablecloths. Wooden chairs and waiters with a rough appearance, but a friendly tone. As for the food, the menu was very varied, although all typically Greek. For starters, we ordered a salad based on tomato, feta cheese, and crispy bread. We also had some appetizers, I think some kind of tomato balls with feta cheese. For the main course, Vero ordered a kind of Greek lasagna, whose local name I do not remember. The pasta was made of macaroni. I devoured a sea bass accompanied by potatoes and green beans. Everything was delicious and I don't remember it being overly expensive, despite being in the center of the city. If you still have room for dessert, in Greece it is traditional to buy it at pastry shops and enjoy it on the street. Without a doubt, a very sweet ending to a typically Greek meal.

The menu offered a variety of traditional Greek dishes. We started with a refreshing salad made with tomatoes, feta cheese, and crispy bread. We also tried some tomato balls with feta cheese before moving on to a Greek lasagna made with macaroni, bass, potatoes, and beans. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced, even though the restaurant was located in the city center. For dessert, we opted for some traditional Greek pastries to enjoy on the go. Overall, our meal at Nikolás was a delightful and authentic Greek dining experience.
