We ate in Bacchus on our second last night in Kalamaki. It wasn't on my original list of recommendations, but it was across the road from our hotel, so we thought we would give it a go as we weren't in the mood for wandering far that night.  John had the kleftico which he thought was gorgeous and I had a pizza for a change, which was huge and had loads of toppings.  We were so impressed that we went back there the following night for our last meal of the holiday.  Marios assured me that they had the best moussaka in Kalamaki, and this time I was not disappointed.  It was served in its own individual baking dish and was really fresh and tasty.  That night John tried the beef stifado and it was absolutely delicious.  I asked for the recipe, so I will have a go at making it at home.

 

The restaurant really had the feel of a traditional family run Greek taverna, which I thought was rare enough in Kalamaki.  Marios was very friendly and taught us some phrases in Greek, so we returned the compliment by teaching him some phrases in Irish!

 

I really cannot understand the negative reviews of this place.  Maybe it's just not for people who can't get by without having baked beans and chips for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  We thought the food was delicious and the service was excellent and really friendly.

 

From Tipperary, Ireland, Yiammas (or Sláinte!) to Marios and his staff!

Hope to return some day!

All the best,

Jane and John, Tipperary, Ireland.
