Iatrou Taverna
Ταβέρνα Ιατρού
A well-known lamb grill in the mountain village of Theologos, where whole lambs turn on spits in the window. Meat is priced by the kilo, and it is widely regarded as serving the island’s best lamb.
Located in the traditional inland village of Theologos, with open-air seating overlooking the mountain scenery and village rooftops. The signature is spit-roasted lamb and goat, sold by the kilo; sharing a kilo among several people is most common, served with fries and raw onion. Lamb ribs and lamb offal rolls are also well received. Some reviewers find there are too many bones or that the meat is a little tough, and bread and water are charged extra. Prices are lower than at seaside restaurants, at about €12–20 per person. From Potos or Limenaria it is a 15–20 minute uphill drive.
