Gastra Restaurant
This popular restaurant is a culinary adventure and destination, especially on Sunday afternoons. The name refers to the old-fashioned way the food is cooked—in a casserole dish (gastra ) inside a wood-burning oven. Regional and chef specialties, such as keftedes (meat paddies) in red sauce or goat with potatoes, are lowered into the fire on pulleys. This method of preparation gives the dishes a wonderfully smoky taste. You get into the restaurant through a garden; you can there, outdoors and under the vines, or in the spacious indoor area.
