“ Had an excellent lunch here. Stuffed peppers with cheese, chicken gyros, peppers and tomatoes with rice and potatoes- all just delicious. Beautiful open air courtyard in the middle of the restaurant that actually spans from one small street to the other. Family run, incredibly friendly and gracious owners. A memorable meal, highly recommend. ”
“ I was walking around the village and decided to stop at Paravas for some lunch. I was received well. The food was delicious. (I ordered stuffed vegetables with rice and a side of tzaziki.) The service was fast. And the ambience was very calm, very laid back. If you’re in Halki, you should try out this restaurant. You won’t regret it. ”
“ The atmosphere of this restaurant is great. They offer a variety of seating from outside on the street to inside in the building, in the garden or an super old building. The server was great. The Moussaka came promptly and it was scrumptious. With the ambience and the favour of the food, it was the perfect choice after a full day of scooter adventures. ”
