Ousies

Name: Ousies
Price range: €

Ousies keeps a warm, compact taverna on 25is Martiou, away from the coaches around Edessa's falls. Repeat diners order bull tongue, dolmadakia, fresh fish, steak and the daily cooked dishes, with portions sized for sharing and prices closer to a neighbourhood lunch.

Our take

Bull tongue beats waterfall queues

Ask for the day's board before opening the main menu. The printed vegan label overstates the real choice according to recent feedback, so plant-based diners should confirm every component; reserve at weekend lunch and order fewer starters than instinct suggests.

What visitors say

Ousies holds 4.6 from about 838 Tripadvisor reviews and a 2025 Travelers' Choice award; repeat visits, bull tongue and portions earn praise, while vegan labelling causes friction.

To Choriatiko Steki
