Fifty bottles rewrite tsipouro
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.
Choose anise or no anise before the first round, then let the plates escalate with each drink. The room gets loud and some recent diners find the format expensive, so ask how the meze sequence is priced, book for a group and order standalone dishes only after seeing round two.
What visitors say
MeZen has about 630 Tripadvisor reviews and remains Volos's best-known modern tsipouradiko; its spirit range and inventive meze earn praise, while price and noise divide recent diners.
