Virginia, Asprangeloi
Located in the village of Asprangeloi, Virginia’s tavern has managed to become a “must” in Zagori, a meeting point for all lovers of good food, simplicity and, at the same time, rich flavour. Simple, everyday ingredients turn into scrumptious dishes that exude the natural flavours and aromas of the region.
Housed in a beautiful and well-kept space that used to be Virginia’s childhood home, regional cuisine gives lessons in cultural heritage.
At the top of the list are Virginia’s pies, such as her fluffy pumpkin pie or the mouth-watering mushroom pie, all with handmade phyllo pastry rolled out on the daily by Virginia and her mother, Mrs Iro.
