The owner of Platanos has his own livestock farm, so naturally the restaurant is admired for its quality meat. There are also fish and vegetarian options, such as vegetable mousakas (baked layers of eggplant or zucchini and potatoes topped with cheese sauce). It adjoins an attractive shady plaza just back from the waterfront but has no sea views.
