Octopus stifado beats another grill plate
Psaropoula faces Panteli harbour from beach-level tables where yacht crews arrive by dinghy. Apostolos works the room while the kitchen moves beyond plain grilled fish into octopus stifado, cabbage rolls with egg-lemon sauce, tuna tagliata and local Leros cheese.
Ask about off-menu cooked dishes; the kitchen has prepared seasonal cabbage rolls for returning diners when ingredients allowed. Mussels saganaki can carry heavy garlic, so state a preference, share the octopus first and reserve near the water before marina arrivals claim the outer tables.
What visitors say
Psaropoula rates 4.4 from about 371 Tripadvisor reviews and holds a 2025 Travelers' Choice award; cooked seafood, owner attention and returning yacht diners lead praise, with heavy seasoning noted on some plates.
