Typical dishes include many delicious recipes.

Pies

In Patmos, do not forget to try the traditional cheese pie.

Cakes

The traditional cake called "Pouggi", fried or baked and sugar-coated.

Patmian cooking

Rooster cooked with wine, goat meat Kapama (with a fresh tomatoes sauce), stuffed vine leaved, stewed lobster, ask for those dishes in the restaurants.

Bread

The variety of breads at Koumari's bakery is stealing the show. Do you know what is really impressing even on the finest table? Bread! A basket full of a variety of bread gives another dimension and taste to your table. Go to Koumani's bakery and buy his fantastic wholegrain bread or the traditional Patmian mastic flavoured bread as well as his special cheese pie or his cornbread. And now, a suggestion for an ouzo: cut a slice of cornbread into four pieces, spread it with Xinomizithra (fresh white cheese), put a few olives in a bowl, pour yourself a glass of ouzo and add an extra chair at your table because you will always have a friend passing by and enjoy it all.
