For starters, we had Saganaki and fried Courgettes, followed by moussaka for the main course, and a delicious house dessert that we thoroughly enjoyed. Everything was delicious and served very well. We had a fantastic time!

The food was decent, though I personally didn't enjoy the fish dish. I believe that if we had the option to order exactly what we wanted rather than choosing from the menu, our overall experience would have been better. I look forward to trying a traditional lamb roast here in the future.

The food is fantastic, the service is quick, and it's a popular spot among locals. Just be prepared to enjoy plenty of feta cheese - we ordered a variety of starters to share and almost every dish had cheese in it.

Awesome atmosphere with live greek music on the weekends. The staff is so welcoming and you feel that they care about customers and they love their job. Fantastic experience.

The setting and atmosphere reflect traditional charm, and I can really see the potential for it to be a standout spot – especially with its fair pricing, which is refreshing compared to some tourist-driven establishments. Unfortunately, my experience was seriously overshadowed by two major issues: poor customer service and an overwhelming pigeon problem. The waitstaff were noticeably rude and dismissive, showing very little interest in basic customer service. It felt as though any interaction was a burden to them, and their attitude definitely took away from the experience. Worse still, the restaurant was filled with pigeons. Not just the odd one flying by – they were walking around the floor, brushing up against customers’ legs, hopping on chairs and even onto tables. At one point during our family lunch of gyros and beers, a pigeon jumped directly onto our table and landed on my plate, making my meal inedible. I developed a real fear of them in the moment, especially when another pigeon tried to jump on someone’s shoulder in my party. We informed the waiter about the pigeon landing on my food, and he simply replied with “ok” – no apology or concern. It was only when we brought it up again while paying that he decided to take the dish off the bill, which I appreciated, but it shouldn’t have taken that much effort. As the rest of my party tried to finish what they could, we all watched another pigeon defecate on a nearby table, only for another to walk through it and track it around. Needless to say, it’s not what you want to see while eating. It’s a real shame – the vision is clearly there, and the restaurant doesn’t try to exploit tourists with inflated prices. But the lack of effort in maintaining basic cleanliness and the disinterest from staff makes it hard to recommend. I understand pigeons are difficult to control, but leaving dirty plates on tables for up to 15 minutes is only inviting the problem. With genuine improvements in service and some kind of system to manage the pigeons more proactively, Taverna Pergola could really shine. Until then, I’d think twice before returning.
