The best restaurants Gaïos

In summer, its lush courtyard is one of the most pleasant places on the island. This establishment, open all year round, is worth a visit. Surrounded by olive trees and in the shade of three eucalyptus trees, you can taste specialities from the Ionian Sea. Beautiful menu with many corfiote dishes, originating from the neighbouring island, such as sofrito (beef and garlic sauce), bourdeto (fish in red sauce) and pastitsada (chicken and beef in sauce with pasta), but also dishes specific to Paxos such as tsilichourdopita, a pie with lamb giblets...

Perhaps the best restaurant in Gaios (reservation recommended in summer!). The setting is pleasant and you can watch the boats pass by while waiting to be served. The terrace tables are always full and the establishment is popular with the local population. Mambo offers one of the best grilled fetas on the island, but also excellent souvlakis (chicken), grilled octopus or meatballs. Don't miss some interesting homemade specialities such as squid, zucchini croquettes or stuffed peppers.

You have to walk all the way to the end of the pier but it is worth it. You will recognize this restaurant by the statue between the restaurant and the sea. Hurry to be at the water's edge! Facing the green statue of the port, a little sheltered from the passageway, a few minutes from the square, this restaurant with terrace offers a magnificent view. And on the plate, a superb varied cuisine at a very reasonable price. Perfect for an octopus salad or just to have a drink. And apparently, many boat crews seem to have a habit here!

An excellent cantina, although slightly off the port. It is worth coming to Vontza for its good gemista (stuffed tomatoes), chicken souvlaki and Greek salads. To accompany this, order the delicious house wine offered here. Its beautiful shaded terrace is popular with locals all year round. And in the kitchen, Spiros offers fresh fish, stifado and keftedes, tasty meatballs. For dessert, Spiros is happy to offer you melon and fresh grapes, or baklava.

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 .
