LIGHT HOUSE TAVERNA
Read moreThe view from the restaurant is perhaps one of the most beautiful in Zakynthos and we could recommend this establishment for that alone! In fact, the first thing you want to do when you arrive is to admire the sublime view and take some photos or selfies. After that, the food is very good. At 150 m above the sea, you can enjoy the view while tasting the vegetable puffs and the rabbit in red sauce of the Light House Taverna. The prices, perhaps a little more expensive than elsewhere, are still decent.
KOMIS FISH TAVERN
Read moreOn the port of Zakynthos, behind the port authorities, there is a small house with a veranda and a platform overlooking the sea. The atmosphere is chic, with tables with white tablecloths and very good service. Excellent tuna carpaccios, fried squid, grilled octopus, crabs, fish, sardines and squid are served here. Beautiful salads with curly endive and escarole sprinkled with Zakynthos cheese. And for dessert, pears, raisins and syrup sauce. A small but well-made wine list. A little more expensive than elsewhere but more upmarket.
MESATHES
Read moreIn a small street near the port, the terrace occupies the street. A singer and Tassos, the owner, liven up the meal with traditional songs accompanied by the guitar. The food is fantastic, right in the center of the city, where the establishment is very well located. The food is very good, the service fast and impeccable. All this (slightly) away from the crowded tourist areas. The prices are correct and the owner of the place, often visible, is adorable, close to his customers (and his dishes).
