Lunch comes from the pots
Rouvas looks like a plain neighborhood dining room near the market: paper cloths, close tables and a counter lined with metal trays. Office workers and shoppers point at what remains in the pots, then eat without waiting for an Old Town performance.
Go at lunch for pastitsada, sofrito, beans, stuffed vegetables and whatever came out of the oven that morning. Choice narrows as the afternoon advances, so arrive early and ask for the day's dishes before reading the printed menu; the low-frills room matters less than turnover and direct cooking.
What visitors say
Recent Tripadvisor feedback continues to praise Rouvas for straightforward home-style food and value; reviewers also stress the basic room and the importance of visiting while daily dishes remain.
