I don't eat seafood but saw it being brought in fresh each day so that's also reassuring.
I had cold coffee each morning, and ate here most evenings or lunchtimes. The briam is excellent, and the gemiste too are huge. Betty even got in some vegan friendly desserts for me! If you have a specific diet just ask, they have plenty of options which Betty can tell you.

The owners Betty and Alex (the captain) are really welcoming and the restaurant has a genuine authentic feel with flowers everywhere and traditional music. I would definitely recommend.

  We were almost pushed by a Lady outside of the restaurant to go in , she said stuff like “the food is so amazing that I get goosebumps just by... read more thinking of it” she wouldn’t stop talking and made us feel so uncomfortable that just to make her stop we went in and honestly the food itself was not terrible tasting but it was BASIC, we ordered an entry and they literally brought me some old unfrozen bread with a rancid piece of cheese on top of it, and they charged 4€ for that , also for dinner we had the 4 cheeses pasta and it was basically boiled pene pasta with bottle Parmesan cheese, and it was 12€ for it , NOT WORTH THE MONEY, there are so many cute restaurants in the area to pick from and for the same prices, the zone does has great restaurants, so just don’t waste your money on this one.
