I highly recommend The Friendly Bear. The ribs are the most tender I've ever tasted. The polenta with cheese and bacon is so delicious! The servers are super friendly and professional. Why doesn't this restaurant have 5 stars?!

Excellent product quality. Historic setting with characteristic furnishings and pleasant modern music. Not your typical tourist spot, it's a fair price, and the food is excellent thanks to the fresh, local ingredients. The desserts are delicious, authentic, and the portions are large. They also have many varieties of their raki liqueur. VERY SATISFIED ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PET FRIENDLY 🐾
