This is a must for all those willing to try a special type of regional cooking that involves heaping red-hot embers over a gastra - the conical cast-iron lid that's lowered onto the baking dish holding the food (lamb, goat, pork, or chicken), which then roasts slowly to appear on your table as an especially succulent meal. It's delicious. Main courses €6-€18.
