About

Metaxou is a traditional Greek taverna where grilled oyster mushrooms, baked chickpeas and fava make a satisfying vegan meal from starters, though reviews note there are no vegan main courses. Rebetiko performances bring in local crowds, especially later in the evening; book ahead for music nights, when dishes cost about €2 more and service can slow as the room fills.
