Fagopoti Restaurant invites you to experience the authentic flavors of Greece through recipes rooted in tradition, quality ingredients, and genuine family hospitality.

Located on the waterfront in Vathy, Ithaca, Fagopoti has become a favorite dining destination for both locals and visitors seeking honest, home-style Greek cuisine. Much of the meat served comes from the family’s own livestock, ensuring exceptional freshness, quality, and flavor in every dish.

At the heart of the restaurant’s identity is the art of traditional spit-roasting. Every day, guests can enjoy succulent kontosouvli and spit-roasted suckling pig, alongside Greek favorites such as lamb, goat, kokoretsi, and frygadeli, all prepared according to time-honored recipes and cooking techniques.

Beyond the grill, the menu celebrates the rich culinary heritage of rural Greece with a selection of homemade specialties, including pastitsio, moussaka, stuffed vegetables, slow-cooked lamb, goat with pasta, handmade onion pie, and traditional cheese pie. Local cheeses and the distinctive Ithacan herb sapsycho add a unique regional character to many of the dishes.

For those seeking lighter or plant-based options, Fagopoti also offers a carefully selected range of vegan dishes, ensuring there is something for every taste.

With tables set literally at the water’s edge, panoramic views across the bay of Vathy, and an atmosphere that captures the timeless charm of old Ithaca, Fagopoti provides the perfect setting for a relaxed lunch, a memorable dinner, or a special celebration. The venue is also available for weddings, christenings, and private events of up to 45 guests.

At Fagopoti, every meal is more than dining—it’s an invitation to experience the authentic spirit of Ithaca through traditional flavors, warm hospitality, and recipes lovingly preserved through generations.
