Sister restaurant of Kokkari, Evvia has been serving authentic rustic Greek cuisine since 1995. Our fresh fish, savory roasted meats and grilled and roasted vegetables are perked up with a squeeze of lemon, a splash olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs. There is perfection in simplicity.

    One of my all time favourite places. Food is great. I would have given higher marks but I think the portions are quite small for the price and ingredients. Service good but didn’t clear the appetiser plates before the main. Odd.

    Service and ambiance was amazing! Perfect for a date night it’s a very intimate setting. Looks straight out of a movie scene I enjoyed being there. All the servers and hosts were so kind and welcoming. Food was not my favorite however I am planning to come back and try something else on the menu!

    I dined twice at Evvia this week and I wouldn't mind going back in a few days because the food is so good! The first night I had the saghanaki as an appetizer and the sea bass special. They were delicious. And today, I shared the spanakotiropita and arugula salad (which is a very large portion sufficient for two) and enjoyed the chicken souvlaki with it. Service is terrific as well and a shout out to David, our server during lunch on Sunday, who made us feel so welcome from the moment we sat down.
