Cured beef calls for red wine
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.
The kitchen closes Sunday. Reserve the terrace on warm nights, ask which cut has rested and order salad before the grill; Google records nearly a thousand ratings, while the smaller Tripadvisor set supports the meat but puts a typical meal around €20–€25.
What visitors say
Pastourmas holds 4.7 across roughly 982 Google ratings and 4.5 from 67 Tripadvisor reviews; the cured meat, soutzoukakia and owner-led service drive its strong local following.
