Fayum

Fayum restaurant in Patras is hidden in a narrow street around the Ancient Conservatory. It is like a beautiful bistro and one of the best restaurants in Patras that offers international cuisine. Wood and different levels create a warm and comfortable environment. The cuisine is casual with many imaginative ideas and combinations of flavors and materials. Fayum is a place with nostalgic charm, vintage furniture and atmosphere of “bell epoque”. The beautiful bar and the mysterious venetian masks hanging from the ceiling and the walls of the restaurant, give a cheerful touch to the first and the second floor. The menu offers a variety of flavors and specialties that make your choice difficult. You should try potato souffle with two kinds of cheese millefeuille with pork tenderloin, chicken with goat cheese and pomegranate sauce. For dessert ask for cointreau cream with orange chewy… and this may be just the beginning!
