Fougaro

Nafplio


This cultural space sits 3km from Nafplio (towards Epidavros) in a converted canning factory. There's pleasant courtyard seating to enjoy good coffee, tasty sandwiches, sweet and savoury crêpes, and waffles. The menu also has serious culinary intentions, with sous-vide meat dishes and elaborately sauced fish. It doesn't always succeed but it's a nice break from the taverna scene. Look for the fougaro (chimney).
