Bean soup faces the Pindus
To Archontiko sets a broad terrace above Metsovo's roofs, giving lunch tables an open line toward the Pindus slopes. Bean soup, moussaka, lamb chops and oven meat stay direct and inexpensive, with the mountain view doing more work than decorative crockery.
The terrace fills first. Reserve its outer row, bring a layer when wind crosses the valley and order soup before grilled meat; service can hurry through peak tour hours, so avoid arriving with several coaches at midday.
