  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for business meals
Sister restaurant of Kokkari, Evvia has been serving authentic rustic Greek cuisine since 1995. Our fresh fish, savory roasted meats and grilled and roasted vegetables are perked up with a squeeze of lemon, a splash olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs. There is perfection in simplicity.

    We arrived about 20 minutes earlier than our reservation time, and we were seated right away. Ali provided a great service.
