Marina Zeus is adopted for her blue carefree nature. Years of her children, if we close our eyes, we feel like we are on an island. Its best time, however, is not forgotten: dusk in Piraeus, the moment when the early risers leave for the evening ones, when the first spark of the approaching lagoon is lit, when you feel that since the boats are “tied up”, life has no reason to worry.
Here, the restaurant that introduced the city to the pleasures of oysters, conquering like another Hercules the Compline of refined shellfish eating, closes its 6th year of operation, remaining a comfort space, without anything contrived in the atmosphere, which is an ideal destination to revive and enjoy unmistakable choices that delight the soul and mouth.
With the simplicity of its Scandinavianism, its open kitchen where everything is made in total transparency – a stone’s throw from your eyes – its walk-in cellar that hosts all the team’s special selections – mildly vinified, conventional and others off the list – Hams & Clams is your secret weapon for an outing full of pleasure, with or without a savoir vivre.
You start with the cool thrill of a Caesar’s with sea bream fillet and then dive deep with a platter of oysters like the spicy Spicy Tequilla or the Moscow with airy sour cream and caviar, to continue with surf & turf tortillas with grilled prawns and beef or the rich linguini with bubble and sea urchins. The tuna with Moroccan spices is also excellent. The menu is enriched with seafood – raw and grilled – based on seasonality, while intriguing dishes of the day are always on the menu. The most assured gourmet ultraviolet in postcard decor.
In winter don’t be afraid of it, the small terrace has a fireplace and creates a “situation”. We note here that the cocktail list, curated by Eva Frangou, is equally unique, with a Bloody Mary to die for. The space is also generously offered for corporate menus, tailor made to the requirements and needs of each customer, such as for the necessary weekend brunch, which will soon return dynamically with eggs in various versions and other goodies.
You will find its delicacies at Navarino Waterfront Agora, in a minimalist setting but with the same concept.
