The Pastards

Name: The Pastards
Price range: €

The Pastards swaps the port's fish-taverna pattern for an informal Italian room on Michail Livanou. Fresh pasta, pizza and meat plates arrive in portions that suit students, families and anyone ready to split a main.

Our take

Pasta ignores the island script

One pasta and a salad can cover a light dinner for two. Service moves fast outside high season, but summer tables need booking; the restaurant closes Monday and works from 1pm to midnight Tuesday through Sunday.

What visitors say

The Pastards holds 4.3 from about 287 Tripadvisor reviews and a Travelers' Choice award; pasta, pizza, large servings, quick service and fair prices form the strongest consensus.

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.

Restaurant

To Kechrimpari

To Kechrimpari opens for lunch only in a spare room off Agion Anargyron, where the kitchen decides the seafood sequence. Calamari cooked in wine, vinegar-led octopus, mussels, shrimp, fish, artichokes, salad and cheese may all arrive without a printed list.
