Except for the historical places, Lamia is famous for the restaurants and tavernas with its traditional dishes and famous roasts.
Most of the tavernas are located around Laou square, on Karaiskaki street, which is commonly known as "street of cholesterol". It is actually an area where the smell of the roasted meat dominates the environment!
The highlight dishes at the majority of the tavernas include roasted lamb, kokoretsi, splinantero, and much more distinctive tastes. Apart from the gastronomic experience that is offered to every visitor of the neighborhood, a walk through the streets is recommended to everyone since it involves a folklore and traditional notion.
