Give the old town a proper evening meal, choosing regional dishes and a table that lets the restored mansion retain its character
The setting is part of the reason to come: a preserved house close to Antika Square rather than a dining room detached from Xanthi. Use the menu to look for Thracian ingredients, local cheeses, meat dishes and seasonal cooking, then ask what is genuinely available that day. The restaurant format suits a shared meal better than a hurried snack between museum stops.
Reserve for festival and carnival periods, when the entire old town fills, and request an accessible table in advance if stairs are a concern. Menus and hours change, so treat online photographs as examples rather than promises. State allergies clearly, particularly when ordering mixed appetisers, sauces or dishes containing nuts and dairy. If drinking wine or tsipouro, return to a central hotel on foot or take a taxi instead of negotiating the old lanes by car.
