Restaurants cuisine du monde Zante

This restaurant is in a truly picturesque location on Porto Roxa beach on the west of the island, ideal for sunset. Access is through a magnificent wild landscape. Away from mass tourism, just 5 km from Agios Léon (follow the signs), you can enjoy a variety of reasonably priced dishes: salads, pastas, pizzas and grilled meats. Specialties include rabbit with oregano and stuffed chicken. The setting is spectacular. And as a bonus, you can enjoy the deckchairs on the beach!

Seemingly very touristy, Star Taverna serves tasty traditional Greek cuisine: moussaka, grilled fish, fried squid, meatballs... Try lamb chops with garlic or lamb shank with potatoes and vegetables. The portions are generous, the prices are correct, and above all the staff is very friendly! The owner and staff are adorable and may give you some free appetizers (like pita with tzatziki, a small cheese salad) and often ice cream for dessert.

On the highest point of the town, this family restaurant offers perhaps the best view in the area. Ideal for a romantic sunset dinner as the views from the room and its terrace are extraordinary, overlooking Argassi and the town. If you want to meet locals, you should know that the atmosphere is particularly lively on Thursdays and Saturdays (we spotted a menu with traditional dancing and unlimited local wine all night long, that's saying something). Besides, transportation is sometimes free with transfers from some hotels.

When you are invited to come to the kitchen to see what is being prepared as daily specials, it is always a good sign. Anteti means "customer" in the ancient patois of Zakynthos. The shaded terrace is really charming. The local cuisine is in the spotlight: beef with red sauce and a little spicy local cheese, baked rabbit with potatoes, among other dishes with sauce... A family address just the way we like it, a little away from the tourist centres, which exudes authenticity! Excellent service and value for money.

Very good reception, excellent cuisine and good value for money. Very decent Greek cuisine and, what doesn't spoil anything, an excellent cocktail bar right next door managed by the same owners. It is understandable that the locals are in a hurry. The restaurant is charming, the staff is pleasant and above all the food is incredible! Here you will find homemade dishes but also products from their own garden. If you linger, it is also the story of the owners, Lakis and Diana, and their attachment to the island that you will get to know.

Incredible food, generous and delicious portions and a very friendly atmosphere. It is a simple tavern in the middle of a beautiful garden. The mother simmers the ready-made meals, the father takes care of the grilling and roasting, and the son is in the dining room. The house speciality is the rooster stuffed in the oven. Wine is by the kilo. Every Wednesday, traditional Greek singers come to make a performance that is worth it. Book then, because the place is quickly taken over. Ideal for an authentic Greek evening

Its name, which remains enigmatic, means "Kostas' brother". We appreciate this traditional and family tavern with a beautiful garden, in the middle of which stands a superb rotunda. It will seduce meat lovers with its tasty appetizers, vegetable dumplings, meats in sauce (rooster in red sauce and beef in white wine) or its delicious local cheese... In short, the food is good, the prices are moderate and the quality of the ingredients is very good! A very nice place with helpful staff and a very tasty menu.

A traditional tavern with old photos and posters on the wall where the regulars like to meet in the evening. This is a popular (and noisy) family tavern: workers and families meet all year round. What an atmosphere! The home-cooked dishes are delicious: saganaki with local cheese, courgette dumplings, moussaka, baked lamb with potatoes, veal with lemon and rosemary, stuffed rabbit... Wine by the kilo from the owner's barrels. Live music every day in summer and from Thursday to Saturday in winter.

Probably the most "social" restaurant in Zakynthos, it often serves as a setting for weddings. It is located in the "aristocratic" district of the city: very beautiful outdoor spaces with a view of the Ionian Sea and an idyllic setting in the evenings, with pianist on site. Pork specialities with red peppers and whole mushrooms, risottos and stuffed boiled potatoes, or the exceptional stuffed rooster from Zakynthos... All meat and products come from the owners' farm located in the heights of the island.

On 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.

In 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).
