Best Greek tavern for meat at Apiranthos village with great view

Apeiranthos is one of the most beautiful and charming places on Naxos and you should go there even if you aren't looking for a place to eat. Having said that, right at the centre of this beautiful mountain village, in the midst of traditional stone and marble houses, you can find Amorginos tavern (and their little cheese and local produce shop across the street, which you should definitely visit). This place is for real meat lovers since the establishment has their own butchery. Here you can taste some authentic specialties from Apeiranthos, such as various grilled meats, a pork stew rosto and local cheeses. If you are lucky and want to try something really special, you might be able to find 'zamboni' on the menu. Zamboni is a locally-produced (they make their own) type of salt-cured pork 'ham' that’s only prepared once a year and is only available for a certain period, so it’s pretty rare. The very salty, very fatty slices of pork are usually served as a cold meze and may not be to everyone’s taste (the taste is very pungent and super salty, so don't order if you are not into that), but I believe they are a real treasure.
