These are tavernas and restaurants we like to eat at in the area. Note that we are pescatarians--fish and veggies--so our recommendations are skewed that way! But all our recommendations also have great options for meat lovers.
Alaloum has terrific food--great salads, wonderful specials, friendly service. A very pleasant spot to sit, inside or out. On weekends a table of musicians provides live music.

Fish taverna in Nafplio near the water, a relaxing location with plenty of people watching and nice atmosphere, good service, and excellent food. Try the beat salad, the skordalia, and the grilled tsipoura fish.
This is a well known, established taverna that we recently "rediscovered;" it's a nice change from the more crowded places further into the center of town.

A lovely setting with panoramic views of the area, including Palamidi. Not a lot of vegetarian options but there are some tasty ones--try the red peppers stuffed with feta, boiled greens and salads; also fried zuccini balls. Better known for their meats, which are reportedly very good. Also has a good playground for children, a plus for the many families that frequent it. A short drive from our place, just at start of road to Tripoli.

Excellent food--fresh fish, salads, vegetables. Try the super- tender boiled greens, and the beets; we also like their skordalia. Very good and friendly service.

A good selection of fresh fish, greens, and salads. Try the korfades, zuccini flowers cooked with tomatoes, and the imam.
