Taverna Orestis
Ταβέρνα Ορέστης
A traditional Greek taverna on a quiet back street, celebrated for its rabbit stew, where diners can choose fresh fish. Popular with locals.
Located on Spiliopoulou Street in the village of Ancient Olympia, away from the main-street crowds, and popular with locals too. Rabbit stew is the signature that diners repeatedly mention. Lamb ladorigani, eggplant rolls, moussaka and wild boar are also popular. Fresh fish can be chosen on site, and staff often help bone and slice it. Portions are generous, and bread and dessert are often served complimentary. Prices are about EUR 15-30 per person, higher if you order fresh fish. It is a walk from the archaeological site.
