Old Village - "The Snack Bar"

Located in the Old Village of Alonnisos, just above the grocery store that stands right in front of the bus stop, The Snack Bar (see photo to your right) offers a nice selection of meals. In addition to having a small number of tables at its second-floor location, this restaurant has quite a bit of seating downstairs and directly across the road in an area we have come to call "the forest" (see photo below and on the left). It's actually a relatively small spot of green space with large pine trees just beyond the bus stop/taxi stand. From the second floor of The Snack Bar you also get a view of the short road leading up to the plateia (town square), and of the Old Village itself.

The Snack Bar originally opened in the summer of 2007, and quickly became a favorite among Europeans who own homes in the Old Village. It’s operated by a gentleman named Panayiotis and a very friendly young woman named Marina who serves as the lead waitress. Its menu includes some traditional Greek faire, but also features dishes from other cuisines. Andrea and I and my in-laws as well are particularly fond of their sautéed mushrooms, tabouli, chicken with Basmati rice, a unique potato dish that is cooked with bacon and yoghurt, and a very tasty eggplant (aubergine) and feta cheese appetizer that is satueed in tomato sauce. We ate at this restaurant several times during our 2009 trip and were always very satisfied with the quality of the food and the service as well.

Note that in addition to being seated and eating a meal at the restaurant, The Snack Bar offers both carry-out and delivery service if you happen to be staying in the Old Village.
