Mama's Food

Updated 2026Just back from Perissa beach, Perissa

A small, homely taverna a short walk back from the Perissa seafront, doing honest home-style Greek cooking to take away or eat in. Tables sit in a stone-walled courtyard with a wood oven, gingham cloths and bougainvillea, and the kitchen turns out cooked-to-order classics — grills, fried seafood and slow-cooked dishes like beef stifado — at friendly, un-touristy prices.
