The city is famed for its numerous ouzo bars and meze taverns, where tables fill with Ambracian Gulf shrimp, sardines, red mullet, bottarga, local ouzo and Epirote tsipouro.

EBD writes about Preveza: «The cuisine of Preveza, influenced by the uniqueness of its land, which combines mountain and sea, offers countless dishes and combinations of flavors.
