Nafpaktos · Restaurant

Ev Oinos

Name: Ev Oinos
Price range: €€

Ev Oinos sits on a raised courtyard in Sismani's lanes, one street back from Nafpaktos old port and beyond the waterfront sales pitch. Cooked Greek dishes, pork, vegetable plates and a serious local-wine list arrive in generous portions with more invention than the surrounding fish-and-grill menus.

Our take

The harbour crowds miss this alley

The dish names need explanation, so ask before ordering and book on busy weeknights. Service can stall badly—one March 2026 table waited 25 minutes just for the bill—and an occasional pork portion has carried too much cartilage.

What visitors say

Ev Oinos ranks among Nafpaktos's most-reviewed restaurants and holds a 2025 Travelers' Choice award; food range and value lead praise, while 2026 reports document billing delays and uneven pork.

Restaurant

Apiko

Apiko is a central Nafpaktos restaurant serving a modern Greek menu from a compact dining room on Sismani Street near the old town.

Restaurant

Centro Porto

Centro Porto faces the old harbour from a polished all-day room on Formionos, starting with espresso and pancakes before shifting to pasta, salmon, salads and wine. It suits mixed groups and late arrivals better than a traditional taverna, with service continuing until 3am.

Restaurant

Papoulis

Papoulis works the corner of Sismani and Formionos with pavement tables close to Nafpaktos's old harbour but not directly on the quay. Grilled sardines, calamari, octopus, fava with capers and baked aubergine support both seafood diners and vegetarians without reducing either group to side dishes.
