Ouranoupolis Restaurants

1. O Kritikos

Want sublime seafood pasta or risotto? Head to a place like this one, where the owner is a local fisherman and everything served is the catch of the day. Here the family cooks traditional village recipes and Macedonian specialties, such as melitzana horiatiki (an eggplant, tomato, feta, garlic, and olive oil salad). The kolokithokeftedes (zucchini-and-potato croquettes) are enormous. The owner's efforts have received gourmet awards for dishes like his lively tuna carppaccio, yet the place remains unpretentious and reasonably well priced for a seafood restaurant. They even produce their own wine and tsipouro. Don't confuse this modern, cream-hued restaurant with the snack bar with the same name up the road.
