Places to Eat in Parga
Chicken with Red Wine Sauce: This dish combines tender chicken meat with a special sauce enriched with wine, and has a balance of Aegean flavors and mild spices. So much so that the first bite creates the feeling of “how can I carry this recipe home”. An elegant yet simple choice for dinner.
Fresh Red Snapper fish from the sea is taken to a whole new level with a light garlic sauce. Not too intense, not too light - a burst of flavor in moderation. It is delicious with grilled vegetables or potatoes with olive oil.
As unusual as it may sound, one of Parga's most elegant dishes that combines the sea and the land is Sea Bream with Celery. The lightness of the sea bream is balanced by the fresh aroma of celery. It's perfect for those looking for a light but characterful dish, especially at lunchtime.
Parga Kebab, where marinated meat is blended with tomatoes, onions and spices and cooked on the barbecue, is a good example of Greek-style “grilling pleasure”. Hearty, full of flavor and served with homemade pita bread, it's a feast.
Souvlaki is a timeless classic of Greek cuisine. Prepared with skewered meat cooked in embers, souvlaki is a street delicacy and a favorite on restaurant menus. Lemon, olive oil and herbs are the secret.
Pilaf with mussels is a favorite dish for seafood lovers. Plenty of mussels, mild spices and the harmony of rice with olive oil... You should try it especially in taverns by the beach, because it is a different taste when combined with the smell of the sea.
It would not be wrong to call gyros a Greek doner. Served in pita bread with doner-style meat, fresh vegetables and tzatziki sauce, gyros is a quick but satisfying option. It is a flavor that is eaten by hand while walking on the street but leaves a mark on the palate.
Dolmadakia: With olive oil or minced meat... Prepared with rice wrapped in thin vine leaves, dill and spices, this traditional delicacy offers the warmth of home in every bite. Great as a cold starter.
Sardines wrapped in thin vine leaves and cooked in embers leave a crispy aromatic taste on the palate. Served with lemon and a little arugula, it's done.
Saganaki, fried hard feta cheese. Golden on the outside, slightly melted on the inside. Served with a few drops of lemon and fresh herbs, it is an appetizer feast in itself.
Motley Coffee Sweet is a light but satisfying summer dessert where coffee-flavored ice cream meets biscuits. It is a favorite especially for those who can't do without coffee.
Kurabiyedes, a traditional Greek cookie with almond and lemon flavors that melts in your mouth. It is very suitable for tea times. It deserves the first place among light desserts.
Also very popular in Greece, Gumdrop Gummy Custard skillfully reflects the unique scent of gum in a milky dessert. If you sprinkle a little cinnamon on top, it's like a little trip back to childhood.
