Patmos pots outrun the mixed grill
Tzivaeri works from a Skala room with a summer veranda, serving traditional cooked food alongside a grill used heavily by groups. Stuffed vegetables, casseroles and local appetisers deserve attention before the mixed meat platters that dominate many tourist orders.
Ask which pots remain, then share one with salad before adding grilled meat. More than 500 reviews support the cooking, but the veranda crowds quickly and a large mixed grill can bury the smaller dishes; reserve for groups and stagger the order.
What visitors say
Tzivaeri holds 4.4 from about 540 Tripadvisor reviews; traditional cooking and generous grill plates lead its long record, with busy summer service and crowded tables requiring patience.
