COUNTRY KITCHEN GREEK RESTAURANT
Read moreThis tavern, located in the new town but in a traditional setting, in the shade of an arbour from which bougainvillea hang, is a little gem. Since 2011, Jani and Linda have been serving local, family-style food based on grilled meats and seafood dishes, not forgetting the inevitable gyros. It's a simple, warm atmosphere in which to spend a pleasant moment with family and friends. The dishes have moved upmarket in recent years, and what was once a simple taverna is now a fine restaurant.
PANOS RESTAURANT
Read moreIt's not always easy to find a good beach restaurant. But this is the case with this establishment, which offers creative and good dishes, as well as original and well-crafted cocktails. The cuisine can be described as Mediterranean-fusion: the names of the dishes sound familiar, but when they're served, you can't help but be pleasantly surprised by their presentation and taste. It's here that you can sip excellent signature cocktails, stretched out on top-quality deckchairs, with the acropolis and the sea as your panorama.
COZZE CHAMPAGNE ROOFTOP COCKTAIL BAR RESTAURANT
Read moreOf all the rooftops in Lindos, this one particularly appeals to us. Firstly, for the view it offers, probably one of the most beautiful in the village. Then there's the ambience of the place, which is hushed and quiet when the restaurant is open, then gradually transforms into a rooftop bar. The dishes are not to be outdone, well-crafted and elegantly served, not to mention the exquisite cocktails. The establishment is run by Théo, a former DJ, which explains the permanent presence of a DJ at the turntables, and special guests on Fridays and Saturdays. A great place to eat or party.
HATZIKELIS SEAFOOD RESTAURANT
Read moreOne of the most famous seafood and fish restaurants in the old town. As always when it comes to fresh fish, it's not cheap but the portions are generous and the quality is high. Choose the fisherman's tray to share, or a selection of dishes, also to share, including the excellent saganaki of mussels or shrimps. It's delicious, and the setting, facing the ruins of Sainte-Marie-du-Bourg church, is the icing on the cake!
ROOF BURGER LAB
Read moreCooking a burger may seem easy, but the Burger Lab takes its art a step further. First, the quality of the ingredients is impeccable, with buns and breads prepared and baked on site. Then with sweet potato fries that rival no less tasty truffle fries. Finally, with sophisticated burgers: try the salmon burger, a gustatory masterpiece with black bread buns. To enjoy this, a nice white courtyard or a rooftop with a breathtaking view of the acropolis and the church tower.
ONO BY MAROULI
Read moreFrom the 100% vegetarian (and mostly vegan) dishes served to its environmental approach (zero plastic), this restaurant will delight veggies. From breakfast to dinner, ONO by Marouli has managed to offer travelers what was sorely lacking in Rhodes: good, healthy, delicious and rather inexpensive food. The menu changes regularly and is inspired by Israeli cuisine, which knows how to combine flavors, veganism and fresh produce. On the drinks front, the house cocktails and lemonade are well worth the detour. Brunch is a must for a good start to the day.
