To Koutouki tou Sotiri

Name: To Koutouki tou Sotiri
Price range: €€

To Koutouki tou Sotiri tucks its tables into a Chios Town lane, serving small groups who want meze and cooked dishes away from the harbour frontage. Fried vegetables, meat plates, seafood and local cheese arrive in the middle for raki-led sharing rather than separate formal courses.

Our take

The alley table orders by the pan

Ask which pans still have food, then order in two waves. The shaded lane can turn hot at noon, so choose evening, keep one dish fewer than the server suggests and carry cash as backup; no elaborate reservation strategy is needed outside August weekends.

What visitors say

Current Chios Town restaurant listings place To Koutouki tou Sotiri among the stronger nearby choices; local-style meze, portions and a setting away from the port underpin its support.

Restaurant

Hotzas

Hotzas occupies a long-running room on Georgiou Kondyli, away from Chios Town's harbour tables and their passing ferry trade. Oven dishes, beans, meat, local cheeses and vegetable plates come from the island's home-cooking register rather than a seafood display case.

Restaurant

Ta Katsarolakia

Ta Katsarolakia runs as a low-cost cookhouse where the owner points diners toward whatever came from the pots that day. Chicken soup, Greek salad, grilled meat and stews make it useful for a direct meal with no waterfront surcharge or tasting-menu choreography.

Restaurant

Vradipus

Vradipus fills the ruined courtyard of an old house inside Chios Castle, with stone walls, plants and closely set tables shielding diners from the port road. Tarhana with prawns, giant beans with mandarin powder and smoked mackerel, and thyme fries recast Chian pantry staples through modern technique.
