Restaurants cuisine du monde Greece

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.

Watch out, celebrity in the kitchen! Founded in 1972, this restaurant was the first to open its doors in Fiskardo, but above all it is a family restaurant, owned by Tassia Dendrinou, an internationally renowned chef and Greek author of cookery books, and her brother Polychronis Dendrinos. The fame of the place is also due today to the celebrities who sit at its tables! In spite of this jet-set side, it nevertheless serves very honest seasonal dishes, fish and appetizers with softly iodized flavours

You'll definitely stop by. In a small marina, this restaurant serves fresh fish, roasted or grilled meats and tasty cooked dishes. In the small bay of the beautiful Kioni, it is undoubtedly the best place in the area. Incidentally, it is also very convenient and complete, open in the morning for breakfast. You will certainly come back for lunch afterwards, for one of its grills, its delicious cooked dishes, its fresh fish or its traditional "bakalaria", a local cod speciality prepared here with rice.

This is a simple tavern near the port where the boats are moored. A good value for the cooked dishes: try the meatballs stuffed with herbs, but also the chicken with cheese, tomatoes and chilli, deliciously roasted in the oven. And of course, fresh fish! In short, a simple tavern near where the boats are moored and a safe solution for quality cooked food. Try also the roasted chicken with cheese, tomato and pepper, or the spaghetti with lobster (if they are on the menu when you go there).

Charming little establishment located on the coastal road, right next to the sea. On the menu, among other things, cheese balls with nice pieces of feta and fresh chilli, an excellent baked lamb, stuffed minced steak and meatballs. A rather classic menu but with nice flavours, without pretension, for a pleasant lunch by the water. If you haven't tasted a kleftiko from Koxili, you don't (yet) know the cuisine of Ithaca! And the service is pleasant, with a large number of Greeks among the regulars, which says a lot.

In this bay, you will be served traditional dishes by the sea. This fish tavern serves excellent spaghetti with langoustines, fresh fish, squid and grilled octopus. Perhaps one of the best addresses on the island. In any case, the service is good, with many different dishes on the menu. You will find all the Greek classics and daily specials. The plates are tasty and the portions are generous. Another sure sign is that there seem to be a lot of locals and regulars.

Very bucolic place under a pergola and a giant olive tree. In a marvellous courtyard, near the port, where freshness is at the rendezvous, even during the great heat, one can enjoy langoustines, crabs and good fish in abundance. For carnivores, lemon pork and barbecued chicken fillets are also to be enjoyed. Homemade desserts are particularly good. Quick service, even when it's full. In the end, the dishes are very correct, with generous portions, but not given .

Opened in 2012, this tavern-ouzerie which overlooks the quays (it can be reached either from the port by a small staircase or by the alley parallel to the port) is a real museum. The owner, Nikos, revives this family place where meat specialities prepared according to the traditional local method are served: wrapped in butcher's paper(sto ladoharto in Greek, literally "greasy paper") and fried (for fish prepared in the same way, you have to go to the Smyneiko restaurant on the ground floor).

A very nice restaurant, which immediately makes you think of Italy. In the heart of the old town, an Italian chef and his Corfiote wife serve authentic Italian cuisine, inexpensive and quite rich (linguini with seafood, rigatoni in sauce, bruschetta with fresh tomatoes). Some antipasti can be enough as main courses as they are served copiously. Even the salads have enough to keep you going! With the added bonus of a fine wine list and delicious desserts such as the chocolate tart, not to be missed!

Gourmets will meet at Agni, a small bay between Nissaki and Kalami. This very pretty tavern at the water's edge welcomes you with its well laid tables and a professional, quick and efficient welcome. The octopus salad with vinegar, in particular, is a delight. The dishes are refined, like the chicken stuffed with spinach and feta cheese or the lamb in sauce. This family restaurant (since 1851!) is still run by Aphrodite and Harilos. Theodoros, their son, goes fishing while Eleni, their daughter, also works in the kitchen.

Often crowded in summer, this family-run tavern is well aware of its assets! It sits on the edge of a tiny cove, on a pleasant promontory by the sea, next to a lovely little beach. It's an excellent, charming waterfront location. The menu is well-stocked, even if portions are sometimes considered small. Agatha and Lakis offer pleasant home cooking. Corfiote specialties (stuffed eggplant, lemon pork, etc.), souvlakis (kebabs) for the kids. We'll be back anyway!

Classic tavern with tables in a beautiful square among the pine trees. Located in the beautiful square of the village of Potamos, it offers an excellent variety of local dishes. If you have the opportunity, it is absolutely necessary to taste the dish of wild goat with lemon. Or try for example the ibex in red sauce or oil and oregano. Or the coastal salad... In short, excellent cuisine from chef Dimitri Panaretou and an addition that doesn't hurt too much in the end. A very nice address to discover.

Here you'll find fresh fish caught by the restaurant itself, as well as seafood and classic Greek dishes. Try our homemade kaltsouni (pies with herbs and fresh cheese) or psarokaltsouni (with cheese and fish). In the kitchen, Kostas and Kostas revisit traditional recipes every day, often over a wood fire, and try out original, contemporary creations. Organic olive oil and local cheeses. Be careful before ordering, as portions are often generous!

To have the privilege of enjoying the Glafkos tavern, you'll need to be patient (especially in high season), as reservations are not taken here and tables by the water are few and far between. But it's worth it! The service is impeccable, the setting enchanting and the varied menu offers refined and original cuisine, but always very typical and gourmet. Grilled feta with sesame seeds, fried calamari, Greek salads and vegetable caviars... the choice is yours.

Away from the hustle and bustle of central Naoussa, Rada's terrace, all wood and sleek modern furnishings, welcomes guests in a privileged setting, in the calm of the beachfront. In the kitchen, chef Gikas Genakis is at the helm. Together with his team, he prepares seasonal gourmet menus that sublimate the traditional flavors of the Cyclades. Grilled or ceviche fish, elaborate vegetable salads, orzo, risottos and meats... everything is succulent. Very reasonable prices for this range of restaurants.

In the shade of a majestic tree, the café Distrato underwent a facelift a few years ago. Today, it's a café in tune with the times, with a trendy decor combining industrial style, antique objects, marble and metal. You can come in at any time of day for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon snack of chocolate pancakes, toast, omelettes and gourmet bagels, served in beautiful ceramic crockery. To accompany all this, fruit and vegetable smoothies that are as healthy as they are good.

Situated in a pedestrian alleyway, To Takimi is an authentic Greek taverna that's a hive of activity at all hours of the day and night. Whether it's its welcoming shaded green patio, its sky-blue beams or its typical wooden furniture, everything makes you want to sit down here, even before discovering the menu. On the plate, unpretentious but well-executed Greek and Mediterranean cuisine: octopus in sauce, grilled fish, cheeses... All palates should be won over. In the evening, the atmosphere becomes more festive.

We come to this good inn to eat, drink, chat, snack, listen to music and certainly have a good time. The dishes are really delicious and the choice is varied: there is the whole range of Greek cuisine. We come here in the morning to have coffee and breakfast (tasty bougatsa), and we stay there until late in the evening to share mezzedes (very good honey feta cheese) or more elaborate dishes. Small addition, the establishment has a few rooms on the first floor, pretty and very comfortable.

At the end of the port, after the tourist shops. From the terrace of this tavern, the view on the bay and on Ithaca is extraordinary. Fresh and home-made products, the speciality is fish and shellfish but there is something for everyone! The feet in the water, you can also have a drink or breakfast. The place is beautiful with a fast service and very friendly staff. There are also a few rooms for rent here from €60. Great value for money for insiders only in season, but always ask.

A hidden treasure of Argostoli? In any case, it is a restaurant with a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. Cephalonian specialities and the possibility to choose in the kitchen, a sign of quality. Pastissio (pasta millefeuille with minced meat and béchamel sauce), cheese puffs covered with honey and sesame, small pasta cooked with octopus, baked chicken with potatoes, everything is excellent! Succulent meat pie and rocket salad with parmesan very fresh. Very good service and an honest bill.

Overlooking the sea at the foot of the Venetian fortress, the Thalassographia offers a splendid view and basic but good Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant is housed in an old Venetian building that has recently been converted and renovated. For a meal, a coffee or a drink, the establishment is a guaranteed inspiration for your postcard break! The waterfront is trendy and enjoys a good reputation. The wind is more agitated there than anywhere else but the location, a little isolated, promises you an appreciable calm in Réthymnon.

Feyrouz is in essence a matriarchal expression. Lebanese-inspired and Mediterranean-influenced, the restaurant serves traditional Lebanese dishes, revisited. Elegant and refined, the restaurant, which has another restaurant in Thessaloniki, is named after the famous Lebanese diva Fairouz. Amazingly, the owner's musician grandfather, herself named Feyrouz, is said to have played with the singer in her day. The restaurant is therefore a great feminine story, and it is carried by a talented chef.

This restaurant is perfectly placed, in the middle of the main avenue of Naoussa. One can sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere of the street. And the owner is very friendly, as well as the team of waiters. As for the food, the mushrooms sautéed with garlic, onions and tomatoes are very good. The sautéed crayfish(saganaki) with ouzo, feta cheese and garlic, a great classic, are also very good. On the other hand, the seafood pasta is very dry, really disappointing. Nice restaurant, but a bit uneven.

This beach restaurant was recently opened on the headland of the famous Anthony Quinn Bay. People come here to share mezzedes with a view, to take a coffee break in the shade between swims or to sip a cocktail at the end of the day. The location is idyllic, of course, but the cuisine is no slouch either, remaining above average compared to other establishments of its kind with the same trendy, boho chic look.

The elegant marble and wooden building of the restaurant was built in 1844 in the area of Paraporti in the town of Naxos, a place where peasants worked in the service of the Venetian conquerors of the island. Paraporti was the second most important south-north entrance to the Naxos Castle area. Outside, on the two terraces, you can enjoy the view of the harbour and start the day with a healthy breakfast, and of course taste the local specialities.

An authentic tavern where you can eat honest Mediterranean and traditional Greek food in a charming room. The decoration, between hangings, cushions, photos, knick-knacks and objects of all kinds, is far from playing the minimalist card of the time, but it is skilfully staged as if telling a story, which gives a warm result. The locals appreciate the atmosphere to meet with friends or family. A typical address to try the Greek classics and taste the good mood of the city.

This tavern opened its doors in the first building built in Elounda in 1906. It is a family tavern located in the town square by the sea. The locals proudly recount that Victoria Hislop, author of The Island of the Forgotten, whose plot is set on Spinalonga Island, is said to have sat there. A restaurant of fish, shellfish, fresh seafood and Greek specialties, copiously and generously served. The tavern has a varied wine list of wines from the regions of Crete and Greece.

Open since 1960, this tavern is a must. Everyone stops here for lunch at Martha's, a real little local institution. Under a veranda cluttered with flowerpots, you will enjoy mussels, fresh fish, and excellent local meats, especially a delicious lamb with eggplant. In addition to mussels, lobster spaghetti and fresh fish, you'll also find great casseroles and other stews. Most of the products used are taken from the Lemnian seas and lands.

Alla & Alla is the kind of place you'd expect to find on vacation: a friendly atmosphere, where you can eat well without breaking the bank! Take a seat on Kaillambi alley, a stone's throw from the Fontaine aux Lions, and enjoy dishes prepared with quality ingredients: the salads are fresh and the small dishes inevitably attract a glass of chilled raki. Opt for the mixed grill dish for a meat-based meal. Bulk wine is of good quality. Efficient service. On the menu, solutions for vegetable lovers too.

Established in 1978, Kri Kri is a Greek cuisine restaurant offering excellent grilled meat (especially lamb chops grilled over a wood fire), fresh fish and various mezzedes of excellent quality. From its spacious and well-shaded terrace, with a panoramic view of the picturesque bay of Ormos, you can enjoy, among other things, grilled swordfish served with steamed vegetables and lemon sauce, with 500 ml raspberry and blueberry cider. Ask for advice on local wines. Impeccable service.

There are fewer than 30 year-round residents in Vati, fortunately untouched by the fires of 2023: Kostas and Toula have been offering delicious, traditional, high-quality cuisine for many years. We come here off the beaten track and away from mass tourism to enjoy a quiet lunch. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the dishes are prepared with taste and simplicity, without hiding behind superficial frills. Just ask for the katsikaki, a delicious kid with lemon. Vegetarians will be delighted too. Everything is homemade!

Traditional Cretan cuisine from father to son since 1930. Among the most popular dishes, baked lamb with potatoes, gamopilafo (pilaf with lamb: the typical dish served at weddings in Crete). The tavern is also recommended for its grills. In season, every Saturday, from 8 pm, the Cretan evening begins with traditional dances to the rhythm of the lyre and lute. The tavern is a real folklore museum where you can also buy local products to take away. Very good address.

Distinct from the classic taverns in the surrounding area, this restaurant offers modern Cretan cuisine in a chic lounge atmosphere with a view of the blue sea. The restaurant offers quality dishes and the beach bar offers snacks and breakfasts all day long. Contemporary decoration and trendy music on the beach. Very pleasant setting for a cocktail by the sea. Slightly higher prices for this unique place in Agia Pelagia.

On the beach, this is a place not to be missed in Kato Gouves. Both beach-bar and restaurant, people come here for the lounge atmosphere that reigns all day long and that becomes more festive in the evening. At the edge of an almost private beach with comfortable deckchairs, you come for breakfast, a coffee break, lunch at noon... The sunset invites you to a romantic dinner at around 8 pm. It is an elegant place as we like them, offering a light refined cuisine, at quite reasonable prices.

One of the best addresses in town. A good family restaurant that is dedicated to welcoming its customers at lunch and dinner, facing the sea. Excellent Cretan cuisine cooked over an olive wood fire, in an elegantly renovated setting. Different dishes of the day, usually organically grown. It is prepared with olive oil... but it is also a restaurant of meat, salads and fish. The traditional Cretan dishes are highlighted, with succulent snails, octopus and pieces of lamb. Very affordable prices. We'll be back, with pleasure.

This tavern is well located, a little out of town, a few meters from the sea, on the peninsula to the east. You can't miss it: a small caique is in front of the entrance of the establishment! It serves traditional Greek and Cretan cuisine and fresh fish (depending on the arrival). The dishes are prepared on a daily basis. Among the specialties: kleftiko (lamb with vegetables and cheese in the oven), octopus with wine, cheese fritters, grilled lobster, sardines... You can digest on the small beach in front of the restaurant.

If you are looking for quality, elegance, freshness and a breathtaking view of the sea, 7 Thalasses is the ideal address. It is the restaurant of the Thalassa boutique hotel and since 2000 it has placed Rethymno among the best gastronomic destinations in Crete with its menu. It offers Mediterranean and Cretan cuisine: fresh fish and shellfish platters, delicious salads, dishes for lovers of the flavors of the sea. First class wine list. Reservations are recommended.

This chic, luxurious restaurant offers top-notch Mediterranean and Greek cuisine, admittedly more expensive than the average in Lindos (itself inflated in the village's restaurants due to the influx of tourists), but well worth it for the quality of the dishes and ingredients on offer. You'll appreciate the sober decor, which gives way to the traditional architecture of the whole place: the pebble mosaic floors are magnificent, as are the views over the rooftops. Reservations are essential if you want a table after 6pm.

This family-run taverna is located on the small coastal road between Grikos and Petra bays. Overlooking both bays, it offers splendid views of the surrounding area and the islet of Tragonisi. It's a great place to sit back and sip a fresh ouzo, accompanied by traditional fare such as baked chickpeas, delicious stuffed zucchini flowers or a tasty eggplant imam. Lovers of grilled fish and meat will not be disappointed. Live traditional music on certain evenings.

At the entrance to Aghios Antonios, this family-run restaurant has set up tables overlooking the sea. The family who run the establishment are adorable, as is the service. The speciality of the place is twofold: on the one hand, traditional grilled meats, with delicious spit-roasted meats in particular; and on the other, a modern option with... sushi! That's right, here you can order your raw fish the Tilos way, not for the mastery of Japanese technique, but for the freshness of the fish! Good seafood dishes too.

This restaurant serves typical Cretan dishes flavoured with the island's many herbs. The waiters are professional and will advise you very well, both on the choice of wines and on the refined dishes. We also offer meat roasted over a wood fire, slowly cooking in front of your eyes. Some dishes are covered with a bell to keep them warm but, above all, the inside is covered with herbs which, thanks to their aroma and flavour, give the meat a unique aroma and taste. Do not miss this experience, which is highly recommended.

Away from the noise of the square, in the main street of Sparta, this small unpretentious restaurant offers a tasty cuisine as well as a small indoor garden in a quiet area. Pork cooked with fresh vegetables (green beans, eggplants) is excellent such as baked pork with potatoes, lamb in lemon and fresh oregano sauce, steamed meatballs and local chicken with cheese and onion. The lamb chops are also very good! The welcome is charming and the prices moderate.

Opened in 1982 in the Monolithos region, Mario's restaurant has become famous in Santorini for its authentic and traditional Greek cuisine. Here, we work with love and respect for the best specialities of the whole Aegean region, with freshness, closeness, authenticity and audacity as our watchwords! Moreover the restaurant can accommodate up to 450 people, making it one of the best places on the island to enjoy a dinner by the beach but also to organize an event... like a wedding. Atmosphere guaranteed!

On the beach of Périvolos near Perissa, this fish and seafood restaurant is a nice surprise. But it cannot be reduced to seafood, moussaka, for example, is delicious. We appreciate the pretty platform with the bar and the swimming pool on the beach, an ideal setting for resting outside the hustle and bustle of Fira. In addition, Edmond the French-speaking boss offers sun loungers to all French people! A good listener...

In a small courtyard of Kalamata, this tavern is one of the more appraisals of the buildings. The grannies in cuisine concoct succulent light meals: eggplants roasted with feta, kayianas (a dish containing eggs, of tomato and feta), liver of beef, dandelions cooked with gray beans (mavromatika)... An address to be tested!
