Balaouro Seafood Taverna
Μπαλαούρο
Family seafood taverna by the water in the small Sfaktiria fishing harbour, popular with locals. Book ahead for a sea-view table.
Run by the same family since 2004, the taverna is on Thasou Street in the small Sfaktiria fishing harbour, with tables right by the water where you can watch the sea and the fishing boats. Its focus is fresh catch and ouzo-friendly small plates. Signature dishes are mussel pilaf, charcoal-grilled octopus, squid stuffed with cheese and herbs, and traditional salted cod with garlic dip. Locals love it and it is often full in the evening, so book ahead or go around 7–8 pm or after 10 pm. Prices are higher than at city-centre tavernas, about 25–40 euros per person. Parking nearby is difficult, so a taxi is recommended.
Opening hours
Daily about 12:00–24:00
