  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

    Our waiter forgot about us most of the night and forgot our the bottle of wine. The food runner had to check with us if the item was ours or not every single dish
