What it is
17 Choria, the "17 villages", is a bistro that opened in December 2021 on Nemea's main street, with earth-coloured walls, a wooden ceiling and a wood stove. It was set up by two local residents so that people coming from the wineries have somewhere good to eat in the village, which does not have many options.
The menu
Each dish is named after a village in the area. The "Nemea" is rabbit stewed with petimezi, the grape-must syrup, and artichokes; the "Malandreni", black pork fillet with celeriac purée; the "Koutsi", mushroom risotto; the "Bozika", lamb shank with fried potato; the "Galatas", aubergine pastitsio. The wine list has about 150 labels, nearly all from Nemea and starting with agiorgitiko, at winery prices, and eight or ten by the glass. Next to the dining room there is a tasting room with a table for twelve.
Getting there
It is at Dervenakion 12, in the centre of Nemea, ten minutes by car from the Sanctuary of Zeus. The guide does not publish opening hours: call 27460 23778 beforehand, especially if you go on a Sunday or out of season.
What to order: a village dish, such as the "Nemea", rabbit with petimezi, and a glass of agiorgitiko from the eight or ten served by the glass.
