Rodostamo

Name: Rodostamo
Price range: €€

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.

Our take

Rose liqueur meets the springs

Sit outside when weather allows; the enclosed room traps kitchen smells and turns noisy when full. Reserve on holidays, split the large portions and ask what changed for the fixed-day service, since an Easter 2026 lunch drew complaints about fatty lamb and weak execution.

What visitors say

Rodostamo holds 4.3 from about 296 Tripadvisor reviews and a Travelers' Choice award; waterside seats, regional recipes and portions draw support, though holiday consistency varies.

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

Mpes Kai Pies

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.

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.
