Synantisi Taverna
Η Συνάντηση
A family taverna on the central square of Kissos village; chef Ria cooks refined mountain-village dishes with plenty of herbs, and the wild boar with chestnuts is the most famous.
Located on the central square of Kissos, an east Pelion mountain village, run by the Karkalas family. Chef Ria's cooking is often singled out by diners, and quality has stayed consistently high. The menu reworks traditional mountain-village dishes; signatures include wild boar braised with chestnuts, mushroom skioufichta hand-rolled pasta, slow-braised beef, and baked giant white beans. Other dishes include lamb braised in white wine with verbena, spetsofai spicy sausage, and cuttlefish with wild greens. Guests are often given small plates and local spirits on arrival, and dessert follows the meal. About 20–30 euros per person. It is about an hour's drive over the mountains from Volos.
