Chios Town · Restaurant

Roussiko

Roussiko faces the ferry lane on Aegean Avenue, serving Chian ingredients from a polished room and pavement tables. Grilled mastelo with honey, aubergine-wrapped soutzoukaki, pastourma pie, chicken with couscous and orange cake with mastiha cream show the kitchen's preference for cooked dishes over standard grill platters.

Our take

Port traffic meets mastelo

Roussiko faces the ferry lane on Aegean Avenue, serving Chian ingredients from a polished room and pavement tables. Grilled mastelo with honey, aubergine-wrapped soutzoukaki, pastourma pie, chicken with couscous and orange cake with mastiha cream show the kitchen's preference for cooked dishes over standard grill platters.

Port-side seats bring fumes and traffic noise along with ship views. Sit indoors if either matters, share cautiously because portions run large and avoid peak arrival times when service can slip; a June 2026 diner reported a thirty-minute wait just for water.

What visitors say

Roussiko rates 4.4 from about 47 Tripadvisor reviews and holds a Travelers' Choice award; cooked dishes and large portions draw repeat guests, while traffic and uneven peak service recur in criticism.
