That evening Stelios and I got dressed for dinner and off we went in search of "Psarou." Just a few kilometers out of town, there on the left hand side was the sign with the cat, smirking as if it had swallowed the canary. But of course it wasn't the canary, it was the fish!
Marinated Octopus
The outdoor tables
These destinations are not always found by accident, but usually they are shared by friends or neighbors in ecstatic whispers. Such was the case with Psarou, when my good neighbor Yiannis described in drooling detail the meals he'd had at the place.
Seafood pasta dishes, bulgur-wheat salad, marinated octopus and then he spoke of the double fried potatoes as if it where the gospel. That cinched it for me! Psarou it would be for dinner that evening. Yet, we were cautioned to go early(by 8:30-9:00pm) so we could get a table, that's how popular the place is.
These tables didn't stay empty long
Almira-salty greens- really yummy!
The double fried potatoes!
Our two glasses of ouzo- ouzo turns milky when you add water.
Three fried fish!
We were seated at a table for two and from there unfolded a delicious, romantic Greek dinner a deux, with a small bottle of ouzo Barbagianni providing that extra little spark.
Thank you Yianni, your recommendation was a winner!
Enjoy!
Maria
