In Kalyves Polygyrou, Halkidiki—where the sea meets the pine forest—stands a family-run fish tavern that has been a landmark for lovers of fine food for over two decades: Mikιverna. Its name is no coincidence; it comes from the ancient name of the area, adding a touch of history to the gastronomic experience.

A True Family Affair
Mikιverna is literally a family business! Founded by the Michaloudis parents, it has been preserved and developed by their children, guided by the passion and love passed down to them. Today, it continues to grow under the leadership of their son, Athanasios, offering unique hospitality with modern touches.

Flavors That Honor Greek Tradition
Mikιverna’s kitchen philosophy is deeply rooted in the Mediterranean diet, with an emphasis on fresh fish and seafood, while also offering meat and home-cooked dishes. Every meal here is an experience, where simplicity and quality meet authentic Greek hospitality.

Locally Sourced Ingredients from Halkidiki
Ingredients are carefully selected to highlight local products from Halkidiki. You’ll find goat cheese from Polygyros, mussels from Olympiada, as well as local seafood, fish, and meats.

The tavern is open year-round, adjusting its menu to the seasons. In winter, there are more meat options, such as beef cheeks with couscous and beef fillet with red pepper sauce.

Gastronomic Treasures on Your Plate
Among the standout signature dishes, don’t miss the smoked eggplant from local producers, bursting with nostalgic aromas. The fried feta in a panko crust is a crispy dream, while the grilled stuffed sardines with olives, tomato, onion, and pepper offer a flavor explosion that will transport you.

Be sure to try the fried mussels from Olympiada, redolent of the sea. For more refined palates, the scorpionfish fillets in a samphire-panko crust, accompanied by a delicate white wine and apple sauce, are unforgettable.

The marinated anchovies are refreshing and aromatic, while the red shrimp carpaccio with lime zest and mango vinegar offers a light yet bold experience. Finally, the handmade white taramosalata is the perfect companion for any seafood dish.

For vegetarians and vegans, Mikιverna offers several options, including traditional vegetable stews, sauced vegetables, and fava. All salads can be customized, and there are also fried dishes made with gluten-free flour for those with intolerances.

To finish, the tavern treats its guests to a complimentary traditional rice pudding or butter halva. For those who want something more indulgent, there’s a dessert menu featuring orange pie, chocolate soufflé, and syrup-soaked sweets.

Selected Greek Wines and Spirits
Mikιverna’s wine list focuses exclusively on Greek vineyards. You’ll find labels from local Konstantara Wines, as well as from esteemed estates such as Gerovassiliou, Alpha Estate, Lazaridi, and Sigalas from Santorini.

For lovers of spirits, options include ouzo (Matareli, Babatzim) and tsipouro (Idoniko, Dekaraki), perfectly complementing the culinary experience.
