Rio is open, with our first drive-thru
Our sixth restaurant brings a two-lane drive-thru, a covered terrace and the Florina Pepper Melt to the edge of Patras.

We have opened at 7 Ethnikis Antistaseos in Rio, our second Patras kitchen and the first VERO with a drive-thru.
We resisted drive-thrus for years because we did not want to rush the food. The answer was a two-lane system with a holding window: you pull forward, your order finishes cooking, and it arrives at your car hot rather than fast.
Opening week
- Free Beef-Fat Fries with every order through Sunday
- Live music on the terrace Friday and Saturday
- Smoked Lemonade refills on the house
