Maitr & Margarita
A tiny Fragomahalas room punching well above its size
The old Frankish merchant quarter near Frangon, now full of design-minded kitchens and serious cocktail bars.
Fragomahalas — the old Frankish quarter near Frangon street, once the district of the city's Catholic and European merchants — has quietly become one of the centre's most interesting places to eat. The bones are commercial-Belle-Époque: tall facades, former workshops and trading houses now holding small, design-minded kitchens and bars that take their cocktails as seriously as their food. It draws a younger, in-the-know crowd, the cooking creative and seasonal rather than tied to any one tradition. Less polished than the waterfront, more thought-through than Ladadika.
