At Tsaparís Ouzeri, located in the heart of beautiful Pefkochori on the Kassandra peninsula, you will discover traditional flavours served daily — the kind that make your summer feel that much more delicious. As one of the village’s most beloved ouzeris, it continues its strong presence under new generation management as of March 2026, carefully preserving the recipe for success that has defined it for the past thirteen years: fresh fish, generous meze plates, and a kitchen that keeps guests coming back time and again.

Situated directly opposite the Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, one of the most recognisable spots in the village, Tsaparís Ouzeri has been a trusted dining destination since 2013 for those who appreciate quality fish and an authentic ouzeri experience rooted in tradition. Its small, welcoming space of around 20 tables has built a loyal following, hosting locals, holidaymakers, and visitors from further afield — many of whom return year after year to enjoy their favourite familiar dishes.

Since the last weekend of March 2026, the business has been run by cousins Michalis and Thanasis Tzouros, who continue to evolve it in every respect while preserving the character and flavours that made it so well-loved. They have added their own modern touch to quality and daily creativity, introducing fresh ideas and suggestions, always with respect for its history and the successful formula that came before. The same trusted team remains in place, guiding an already successful path even further forward through a smooth and respectful transition.

Fresh fish at the heart of the menu

Fresh fish naturally takes centre stage. With daily attention to sourcing the finest ingredients and a deep understanding of cooking techniques reflected in every dish, the menu is built around pure seafood flavours — from small fried fish for traditional meze to larger cuts grilled simply and properly to highlight their natural taste.

Many guests, however, come specifically for the prawns. The prawn pasta, rich in flavour with perfectly balanced ingredients, is one of the most popular dishes on the menu. Equally well-loved are the garlic prawns, as well as the signature prawn saganaki, prepared using the chef’s secret recipe that has delighted diners daily for years.

Homemade dishes that stand out

Beyond seafood, Tsaparís Ouzeri also excels in its home-style cooked dishes. Beef in tomato sauce, lemon-infused lamb, and traditional moussaka add depth to a menu particularly appreciated by international visitors and those seeking authentic, comforting flavours reminiscent of a home-cooked meal.

For those preferring something different, the meat dishes also offer excellent and satisfying alternatives.

Meze, ouzo and good company

The true spirit of an ouzeri is best expressed through shared small plates, and Tsaparís delivers exactly that.

Sea-pasturma, marinated anchovies, mackerel, handmade dips, and fresh salads served with their own cream cheese blend and chilled tsalafouti create the perfect setting for a simple evening that begins with a glass of ouzo and naturally turns into a table full of flavours, conversation, and smiles.

The drinks list has also been carefully curated, featuring more than 15 ouzo and tsipouro labels, selected wines from Halkidiki, and well-known Greek wineries such as Ktima Argyrou from Santorini. White, rosé, and red wines are chosen with a focus on quality and ideal pairing with the menu, available daily.

Tsaparís Ouzeri is a truly authentic gastronomic stop in Pefkochori — a place that offers the essence of traditional Greek cuisine in a warm, unpretentious setting. With an emphasis on fresh ingredients and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, it is the ideal destination for anyone seeking a genuine seaside dining experience that lingers in memory long after the meal ends.
