Sunlit tables at a Vero restaurant

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
  • Sliced seared flank steak
