The Special Tavern (To Eidikon) - in Piraeus, Greece!

in #foodphotography6 years ago (edited)

Hi everybody!

Today I would like to share with you one of my all time favorite taverns that is located in the vicinity of Greece's largest port, Piraeus, where thousands of visitors pass through every day to catch a boat or a ferry to one of the country's many lovely islands. It's a tavern well worth visiting . . . as it's just so "Special"!

The moment you step through the door of the Eidikon Tavern you know you have entered another world! The atmosphere is of bygone days with memorabilia displayed on the shelves and walls; some dating back to the 1920's!

The owner, Mr Apostolis, is always there to welcome you with his wife Maria, who often disappears behind the main counter to prepare really basic home style food . . . which is always fresh but oh so delicious!

When I’m asked what you should order at this tavern, I always say: “Make sure to try the pan-fried meat balls (keftedakia - seen in 1st photo above) as they are about the best in town . . . . and enjoy them with top notch fries or a yummy tomato salad with olives and onions.

If you don't have a cholesterol problem, order their fries topped with 3 fried eggs or the Strapasada (scrambled eggs with tomato and cheese - photo below). Other items on the menu include fried liver, spicy sausage, cheese and Fava; all served without frills, the old fashioned way!

I also recommend you try the home produced Retsina. It's actually one of the few places in Greece where I wouldn't want to drink anything else!

The place is open daily from lunchtime until 11 pm and on Saturdays, if you are lucky, you can enjoy a couple of guys who come by and play their bouzouki and guitar and sing old classic Greek songs.
