Oromedon Mountain Village Restaurant
Ωρομέδων
A family restaurant in the hill village of Zia, serving wood-oven slow-roasted meats made with farm produce, with terraces for watching the sunset.
Family-run since 1997, located in the higher hill village of Zia, about 20 minutes' drive from Kos Town. Dishes are made with ingredients from the family farm in traditional Dodecanese style. The signature is lamb, kid, and wild boar slow-roasted for about 12 hours in a wood-fired oven. Other dishes include pork in egg-yolk and lemon sauce, homemade moussaka, and fried cheese with jam. The wine cellar holds more than 200 Greek wines. The three-level terrace faces west and is one of the island's best sunset spots. Tour groups arrive in large numbers on summer evenings, so book a terrace seat in advance for sunset. The average spend is about 20–30 euros per person.
