Where to eat...or not! / Sifis March 2025
« Last post by kokkinos vrachos on March 28, 2025, 04:35:31 AM »Kalimera, I was invited to dinner at Sifis yesterday.
The food is good, but the prices are now like in the Cyclades.
Moussaka in a small round clay pot a proud 12.20Euro (9Euro 2022, 10Euro 2024). Tzatziki a hefty 5.20Euro (still 4.50Euro in 2022), portion of Chorta 6Euro. You are charged 3Euro for bread and a small bowl of olives as a welcome drink. There is also no more olive oil on the table!
Conclusion: simply too expensive.
The Sifis taverna has had many regulars for many years, especially from Germany, as Sifis speaks German and serves simple but good, down-to-earth Greek cuisine. Another advantage is that the Sifis taverna is open all year round and is the only taverna open in Plakias in winter. Important for digital nomads and residents.
