Mpes Kai Pies

Name: Mpes Kai Pies
Price range: €

Mpes Kai Pies packs a central room and pavement tables with diners who want seafood, grilled meat and meze on the same order. The long list runs from fried courgette and aubergine to souvlaki, pork steak, octopus and calamari, usually at lower prices than Drama's formal rooms.

Our take

Drama orders the whole board

Choose selectively. Reviews split sharply on calamari, octopus size and meat doneness, and a diner with coeliac disease reported unsafe flour handling; anyone with a serious allergy should eat elsewhere rather than rely on the menu labels.

What visitors say

Mpes Kai Pies rates 4.4 from about 365 Tripadvisor reviews; speed, portions and price retain broad support, while seafood consistency and reported gluten handling require explicit caution.

Platforms researched: Tripadvisor. Last reviewed: August 2026.

Restaurant

Entrades Restaurant

Entrades works from a compact room on Skra Street, using white walls, dark tables and precise plating rather than taverna clutter. Food-led couples come for sole-filled bao, seafood, warm goat cheese wrapped in kataifi with mountain honey and dishes that move between Drama produce and international technique.

Restaurant

Pastourmas

Pastourmas sits outside Drama's immediate centre, its shaded terrace and plain dining room built around meat rather than decorative plates. Groups order the namesake cured beef, soutzoukakia and grilled cuts, then work through bottles from the vineyards surrounding the city.

Restaurant

Rodostamo

Rodostamo faces the water and plane trees at Agia Varvara Springs, with outdoor tables close enough to hear the channel running past. The kitchen pulls from Pontian and Constantinopolitan cooking, serving seafood, baked feta, spiced meat and generous salads after a small glass of rose liqueur.
