| Last reviewed: May 2026 Mavro Provato, 'black sheep', opened on Arrianou in Pangrati in 2010 and has been the city's hardest mezedopoleio reservation since the second year. The format is the Greek mezedopoleio at its most disciplined: fifteen to twenty small plates a day, the daily list written on butcher paper and circulated table-to-table, tsipouro by the carafe, charcuterie and wild-greens cooked through and through. The Bib Gourmand recognition is permanent fixture territory. The crowd here uses Mavro Provato for the meze-and-tsipouro dinner that does not pretend to be anything else, the cousin form to the meyhane, the Aegean grammar the Istanbul palate recognises immediately.
Editor's Tip
Book ten days ahead, no exceptions, the wait list runs three weeks for Friday/Saturday. Order four-to-six meze for two, a carafe of tsipouro, and let the kitchen send a wildcard if you ask. Cash and card both accepted, no service charge.
