Volos Greek Cuisine

Grilled Octopus

Char-marked tentacles with a tender interior and the kind of smoky brine that makes you reach for more bread and wine immediately

Saganaki

Flaming tableside cheese with a golden crust and molten, salty interior — theatrical and delicious

Spanakopita

Layers of shatteringly thin phyllo packed with spinach and feta — a benchmark dish that earns its place on this menu

Horiatiki (Greek Salad)

Classic village salad with ripe tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, and a substantial slab of feta — simple and properly done

Lamb Chops

Herb-marinated chops with the char of a proper grill, served with lemon — best ordered medium-rare

Fresh Whole Fish

Market-priced whole fish grilled simply with olive oil, lemon, and herbs — the purist's case for Volos

Loukoumades

Hot honey-drenched Greek donuts with a crisp shell and airy interior — the dessert most worth saving room for

Taramosalata

Silky whipped fish roe dip with a briny depth that separates it from grocery-store versions — pairs well with warm pita
