Kritamo

Name: Kritamo
Price range: €€

Kritamo works a compact central room on Lori Street, serving tsipouro with seafood and vegetable meze from noon until late. Friends share stuffed courgette flowers, aubergine saganaki, cheese spreads, tsiros and pork bites rather than surrendering the table entirely to fried fish.

Our take

Courgette flowers chase the tsipouro

The long list can obscure how much food arrives with each drink. Start with one round per person, ask which meze accompanies it and add named plates slowly; evening tables need booking, while lunch gives staff more time to explain unfamiliar fish.

What visitors say

Kritamo holds 4.6 from about 90 Tripadvisor reviews and a Travelers' Choice award; 2026 reports cite local meze, quick service, courgette flowers and traditional pork dishes.

Restaurant

Bokos

Bokos sits away from Volos's seafront in Nea Ionia, with a tiled, television-lit room that feels closer to a neighbourhood café than a destination restaurant. Regulars order tsipouro and receive changing seafood meze—small fish, shellfish, octopus and whatever the kitchen prepared—one round at a time.

Restaurant

Lepi Tsipouro kai Mezes

Lepi sets its tables on the Volos promenade, where ferries, walkers and the Pagasetic Gulf remain in view through lunch. First-time tsipouro drinkers can work through seafood meze by the glass, while companions order named plates without committing to the full ritual.

Restaurant

MeZen

MeZen compresses Volos's tsipouradiko ritual into a central room lined with more than fifty tsipouro and ouzo labels, including aged pours. Curious drinkers and food-led groups pair each glass with updated meze made from Greek cured fish, pickles, cheeses and small-producer goods rather than waiting for a generic seafood plate.
