Ilias Orchard in full
Ilias Orchard is a traditional home-cooking taverna in a garden setting towards the far end of the Koukounaries strip, opening evenings only from 18:00.
The signatures are homemade pies and lamb cooked in vine leaves β the kind of dishes that take a morning to prepare and mark out a kitchen that is actually cooking rather than assembling.
It rates 4.5 on Tripadvisor and runs a Facebook page. An Italian operation called Ottimo runs alongside it under what appears to be shared ownership, so the site effectively offers Greek on one side and Italian on the other.
