When we went to Arta, we stopped at Galaxidi on our way back.
We found this attractive mezedopoleio and decided to have lunch.
As Galaxisidi is by the sea, most of the restaurants are concentrated in the seaside area, but this one is inside the down and there is no view whatsoever. The traditional architecture, however, is charming enough to make it up.
On seating, a waiter brought us 3 small jugs of wine saying that these are for tasting. We were afraid of rip-off, but eventually it wasn't. Evidently we should pay as much as we consumed.
Hubby drank only red wine and paid 2 Euros.
With bread, we were given these dips, one is olive paste and the other is tomato paste.
These are stuffed onions. We ordered it, because on the menu it was described as "Galaxidian".
Oblong onions were stuffed with minced meat and rice mixture. Maybe not particularly imaginative, but tasted very good.
This is pork morsels stewed with prunes we ordered as main dish.
It was served with crumbled feta cheese.
It was tasty and hearty, but it was too salty for me. I am afraid they add much salt to killed the sweetness of prunes. They should have used less prunes to avoid oversweetness.
The oven baked potatoes were brought to us when we were almost forgetting to have ordered it.
Surprisingly, the potatoes were served with blue cheese, which is unfamiliar type of cheese in Greece.
Baked potatoes cannot go wrong, but I thought it was a unsuccessful attempt to sex up potato to 5.50 Euro dish.
When we asked for bill, we were offered this homemade sweet.
It looked like ravani, but it wasn't. The waitress told me that it was just a oven baked semolina cake, but I don't believe her. It should have some other grain like rice and the syrup should be made from brown sugar. We liked it very much.
Although some of the dishes looked overpriced, he total bill was only 31,50Euros which looked just right.
We will be visiting this mezedopoleio next time we will be in Galaxidi.
