Claimant

Starting from her country Naxos we take the road to Kastraki and at the 18th km. Naxos-Alykos we will meet the tavern Claimant.

A series of trees with dense foliage take care to create a protective shade in the bright courtyard of the tavern. The space - as recently renovated with refreshing colors - immediately creates a pleasant and funky atmosphere.

At the surrounding tables, regular customers enjoy the goodies of the store and their unique relationship with the Sophia and Giannis Vassilas. Because that was the goal of the couple, when in 2000 they decided to set up their dream in a paternal garden of Giannis. To create a tavern with sought-after local flavors, relationships of trust with their customers and a quality of life away from the hustle and bustle of cities. He had mediated a small trip of John to America and Canada, when at the age of twenty he gained the first important culinary experiences, working alongside passionate chefs.

The first characteristic of their work is the obsession with local materials, where utilizing their rich garden, they use for cooking mainly their own vegetables. The list of delicacies is impressively long. A homemade lemonade with honey and louiza accompanies you in the beginning until you make the necessary combinations according to your appetite, choosing what to order and what to exclude… a difficult test. And immediately after, the pleasures begin.

From the first Dakos with local xinomizithra, cheese pie with figs and homemade leaf, figs baked with xinomizithra and pounded on toasted bread, green fried tomatoes, but also fried okra and yogurt sauce, tabouki with koumid, koumata with organic pound cucumber.

From the main, local meats, beef, goat, pork are cooked in all possible ways -traditional and teased- with herbs and especially rosemary and thyme to leave their delicious imprint. The most popular dish is the goat in oil paste, all kinds of burgers, and "unplayed" unbroken roast with the coarsely chopped, gold-fried and sweet Naxian potato. From fish to the dishes of the day that emerges from the collaborating fishermen.

Claimant a tavern with a view, its ultimate gastronomic experience Naxos.
