2 Best Restaurants in Patras, The Peloponnese

Labyrinthos is an old favorite of locals and visitors alike. This stonewalled setting, tucked away off the main drag, sets the perfect pace for a whistlestop tour through some classic taverna fare, from katsikaki (goat in olive oil) to fried anchovies, and even recognizes the region's Slavic influence with a tasty pork schnitzel.

A likeably bobo take on modern Greek and Italian fare. A huge bar dominates the interior, wrapped in stone and with a roof of upturned glasses, reminding you this is aperitivo country. The wine list is excellent, while the menu dishes up a steady barrage of juicy steaks and elaborate pastas that go a little further than most and make good use of local treats like the excellent smoked pork.
