WONDER RESTAURANT

Mediterranean cuisine restaurant €€
5/5
1 review

Situated on the edge of a 19th-century garden in a verdant setting, this establishment is a gem of neoclassical architecture, just a few minutes from the Porte d'Amboise. Weather permitting, we recommend that you opt for the tables in the pretty tree-lined courtyard, more romantic than the interior rooms. In the kitchen, the emphasis is on the quality of ingredients: dishes are refined and inventive, with attention also paid to presentation. A welcome change from traditional gastronomy.

4/5

Open - from 11h00 to 23h30

This restaurant has been serving quality traditional cuisine since 1967. Sons Stavros and Yiannis have taken over the family business and continue to create a friendly atmosphere. The terrace is pleasant, but you can also opt for the traditionally decorated dining room on the second floor or the recently renovated backyard. On the menu: fish and specialties from Rhodes and neighboring islands, prepared with fresh local ingredients. Don't leave without trying the kleftiko, lamb simmered for hours in the oven in a terracotta dish.

COUNTRY KITCHEN GREEK RESTAURANT

Meat restaurant
Open - from 11h30 to 23h45

This 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.

An address to recommend for lovers of fish, shellfish and crustaceans! Originally from Symi, Theodoros Tsikkkis will make you forget the mealy or overcooked fish in tourist restaurants. Without necessarily breaking your piggy bank, you can enjoy the pleasant terrace of this peaceful corner of the old town by tasting the famous Symi shrimps, crunchy vegetables flavoured with mint and a delicate homemade dessert. With a good ouzo, in the shade of the arbour, you will spend long hours, languid and full.

This restaurant has maintained its position year after year, offering good-quality cuisine despite the pressure of tourism. In summer, enjoy the pleasant setting of the shaded terrace. There's a wide choice of Greek classics, as well as Rhodian specialties, giving you the opportunity to discover the local cuisine and its ancient recipes, including lamb kampanas (a local stew), trachanas soup and fresh pastachiouta pasta. All presented with care and attention to detail. Be patient, as service can be a little slow at peak times.

Popular with locals and tourists alike, this small restaurant offers only a few tables, which sometimes creates discouraging queues. And yet, don't give up too quickly because your patience will be greatly rewarded! By an aperitif offered, first of all, but above all by succulent dishes, of incomparable freshness and presented with care, very reasonable prices and a warm and friendly service. It is certainly one of the best restaurants in Rhodes, which has managed to maintain its reputation over the years.

DROSOULITES RAKADIKO

Restaurant €€
4/5
1 review

This restaurant near the old town is located in a beautiful neoclassical building but in summer we prefer the tables in the pretty outdoor courtyard. Here you will taste Cretan specialities against a backdrop of traditional Crete music. Among the essentials of Cretan cuisine, try snails and charcuterie. Most of the products come from Zaros, the owner's home village in the central region of Crete. A pleasant address, especially to come with friends and taste all the dishes.

Were you dreaming of amazing, tasty and cheap cuisine? That is the case. The map offers some classics of Mediterranean gastronomy, but every day the Italian chef will draw inspiration to the market and to the few organic farms on the island to combine constantly renewed inventive dishes.

HATZIKELIS SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

Seafood Restaurant €€

One 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!

TA PETALADIKA

World cuisine restaurant

This mezzedopoleio is renowned among Rhodians, despite its touristy location, which might put them off. So follow their example and pay no attention to the crowds in the vicinity: here you can enjoy ouzo and mezzedes with your eyes closed. Everything is excellent, but unfortunately in recent years the service seems to have deteriorated, with a sometimes hostile attitude towards tourists. It's a pity, because the food is still delicious. So treat yourself, but be vigilant about your orders, and take the time to study the menu.

MARCO POLO MANSION

World cuisine restaurant €€

Marco Polo Mansion offers refined cuisine in an idyllic setting. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist trade in a small alleyway in the old town, it's an enchanted garden hidden within a medieval building. Here, you'll be able to enjoy the finest quality dishes. The fundamentals of Greek cuisine and Italian gastronomy are revisited in a more contemporary but not at all pretentious approach. Every tradition is respected, and flavors take precedence over everything else. Don't miss the desserts, which are just as delicious.

TRATTORIA MEDITERRANEO

World cuisine restaurant

This Italian restaurant offers tasty traditional cuisine, using quality products that are seasonal whenever possible. Here, you'll taste the best pizzas and fresh pasta on Rhodes. We can't recommend enough what to try first, as everything is so delicious. The garganelli all'amatriciana, for example, is a short pasta with guanciale , but the raw carpaccios are just as fabulous... Also perfect for those looking for a change from Greek tavernas. Locals pass the address around, so don't hesitate!

TO STENO

Restaurant

Rhodians come to this simple restaurant on a residential street in the new town to eat a real traditional meal, prepared just like at home. Everything is good, especially the zucchini flower fritters, which we recommend. The family who run this delightful tavern are natives of Karpathos: you can discover some of the island's culinary specialties and admire the old photos adorning the walls. The atmosphere is simple and warm, far from the tourist crowds: this is an authentic taverna, just the way we like it.

KOUKOS

World cuisine restaurant €€

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.

OI KELLIDES

Restaurant or takeaway

If it were only necessary to remember one souvlaki address in Rhodes, it would be this one, a few meters from Akti Miaouli beach! Certainly, the shop doesn't really look like anything: a boui-boui a little cracks at most. As for the location, in front of a gas station, it doesn't really make you dream. However, it would be wrong to stop at appearances because it is the best pita gyros and one of the best souvlaki in the city. All the ingredients are undeniably fresh, whether it's the meat itself, the bread, or even the tzatziki!

ONO BY MAROULI

Vegan restaurant

From 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.

Open - from 08h30 to 22h00

One will come to the restaurant and wine bar of the eponymous hotel, notably for its impressive cellar which aligns a beautiful selection of 170 Greek wines, including some orange wines. The restaurant, which matches the hotel's chic and tasteful style, offers an assortment of cheeses to match either the white wines or the more robust reds. Grilled meats, grilled cheeses and traditional Greek dishes(ladopita, tigania...) complete the menu.

TRADITIONAL CAFE SYMI

World cuisine restaurant

This traditional kafeneio has been installed in the New Market since 1946. Today, it has been taken over by the granddaughter of the original owner, who has given new life and dynamism to this historic establishment. We like to come and sit in the shade to have a good breakfast in the morning (omelettes, toasts) over an iced coffee, waiting for the arrival of the day's fishing. The extra-fresh small fish are grilled or fried for lunch and are simply served with a little fava or eggplant caviar. That's what happiness is all about after all!
