Our dish — the plate we'd order here first

Kokoretsi (Κοκορέτσι)

  • Cooked overLive fire

Kokoretsi, offal wrapped in intestine and turned over an open flame, the Agrinio way. One of the house's three specialities, and the plate we'd come to Kato Patisia for.

Also on our table

  • A plate of snails with red salad to share, with a carafe of the Distomo wine

Georgia Spanou has cooked at this Kato Patisia taverna for over forty years, and says the recipes don't change. Georgia's son Kostas is the next generation.

The proof, in the house's own words

Why the kokoretsi

Strong evidence

Offal on the spit in the western Greek style: the one we'd begin with.

  • Technique

    On the spit, never rushed.

  • Tradition

    Made the way Agrinio, in western Greece, makes it.

  • Sourcing

    Meat from western Greece, the house says.

  • Local choice

    One of only three specialities the house puts its name to.

We'd add

Our runner-up

Saligkaria (Σαλιγκάρια)

Snails with a red salad, another of the house's own specialities. To share beside the offal from the spit.

  • The house's speciality
