Poseidon Restaurant

A family of fishermen

Poseidon is the story of three generations of Poros fishermen. Grandfather Giannis sold the fish he had caught in the evenings in a little taverna; his son Giorgos fished in the morning and helped him at night. In 1988 Giorgos met Cindy, who had come from Eindhoven, and in 1997 they opened their own taverna on the harbour promenade. Today the grandson, another Giannis, still goes out fishing and is taking over. In 2021 they renovated the whole place and it went from taverna to restaurant, brighter and more modern.

It is on Virvili Square, facing the water, with a view of the mountain range they call the Sleeping Beauty, across the channel.

What you eat

The fish comes from the family's boats, and that shapes the menu. Starters include tomato fritters with yoghurt, saganaki with ouzo, feta in filo with honey and walnuts, sardine fillet, steamed mussels and the house seafood dolma: a lettuce leaf stuffed with prawns, crayfish, octopus and saffron. There is a raw section with sea urchin, tuna sashimi, sea bass and octopus carpaccio, tartare and ceviche.

In pasta, the fisherman's with mussels, octopus, prawns and squid, spaghetti with clams, orzo with prawns and saffron, and linguine with lobster. From the sea, sea bass, whole sea bream, grilled tuna, salmon and lobster. For those who prefer meat, skewers, burger, fillet and entrecote, and from Greek cooking, imam bayildi, moussaka, lamb shank and fish soup.

With children it is easy: there is a children's menu with tomato spaghetti, home-made nuggets and a burger. For dessert, ekmek kataifi, profiteroles and cheesecake. The website does not publish prices.
