The port noise stops at the garden gate
Irodion hides its tables behind a stone entrance on Aristarchou, trading the quay for a leafy courtyard with close-set wooden tables. Giaprakia, tomato-sauced meatballs, mastelo saganaki, souvlaki and lamb kleftiko keep the cooking firmly Samian and Greek.
Order the garden starters before committing to a grill; portions run large and dishes may arrive quickly together. Reserve an outside table in high season, then allow extra time at peak dinner—the courtyard fills even when the waterfront still has spare seats.
What visitors say
Irodion rates 4.4 from about 821 Tripadvisor reviews; lamb kleftiko, grilled meat and the courtyard recur in praise, with busy-evening pacing the practical caveat.
