Kokkari (pronounced “Ko-Kar-ee”) is a small fishing village located on the islands of Samos in the Aegean Sea, whose name is derived from the small onions that were once produced in the nearby fields. Its fertile soil and Mediterranean climate translated into an abundance of fresh produce as well as treasured seafood and game. Legend tells that Kokkari is the site where Orion, a mighty hunter and a young man of gigantic stature and great beauty, fell in love with the daughter of the king of Chios. For the love of her, Orion forged the island for wild game and seafood to prepare elaborate banquets in celebration of their love. Today, we hope you will enjoy your own celebration as you dine at Kokkari Estiatorio on food “fit for the Gods” prepared with an Aegean palate and the style of innovative California fare.

“It was just like being at a café in France!” Exclaimed our 89 year old aunt who loved her steak frites with pepper corn sauce. The food is outstanding here. Service equally wonderful. The short ribs tender and flavorful. Apple tartin had the right amount of tartness and paired well with our lattes. “If I still lived in SF I’d be here every week.”

We were amazed at how busy Florio was on a Wednesday night at 630. The staff handled it well, however.
