The best place to eat in Kos Town

It’s not until evening, do you really appreciate your surroundings. The heat of the day has abated as it extends into the evening. Bouzouki and Turkish melodies compete in the background around the harbour of Kos, as the setting sun turns from vivid orange to twilight then dusk. Walking along the quayside making our way to a restaurant we pass day boats selling excursions. Above, Victorian style streetlights turn on their energy saving bulbs.
“Something Else Restaurant is the best place to eat in Kos!†says Heinrich.
Whilst travelling on an Archaeological tour of the Greek Islands our guide and Archaeologist Heinrich Hall discovered this restaurant weeks before. Located in a residential area of Kos town, with no touristic shops in sight. Our fellow travel companions and we join him, in a feast of the best traditional food on the Island.
It’s very much a residential district we are in. Local cars and scooters are parked on the curbs surrounding small apartment blocks. Light from these buildings ad accents of rectangular colours up and down the street.
Something Else Restaurant is on Bouboulinas Street leading off from the main harbour towards the west. It’s about a 5 min walk from the Harbour and a world away from the tourist traps of high priced junk food that’s handed out along the water front.
As expected it looks little different than most other tavernas and their square little tables are of the traditional style. But the similarity stops there… it’s the food! It’s very, very good!
“Nothing brings people together better than good food†says Heinrich with a grin. Plate upon plate of food is laid out before us in a pick and mix style. Beef with aubergine (stew), Cabbage Rolls (Lachano-dolmades), Red peppers stuffed with feta cheese, Aubergine dip, Pastitsio and the more well-known dishes of Mousaka, Greek Salad and fried cheese keep on appearing in front of us. Calorie counting in Greece is unheard of as I seamed to be saying ‘delicious’ to every plate that arrives. Yet the texture of the food the way it crumbles in the mouth all presented in a cordon bluer style that would please Gordon Ramsey. Just keeps on coming.
This is home cooked food at its best!
Talking to others around the table I’m informed that Eudokia Taverna across the road serves equally good food! It would seam that there’s a healthy competition between the two Restaurants. Yet, they’re both a secret hide away for locals.
