Traditional Kafeneio Lyris

Reviewed By Suzy B

Located just past the Kantirimi bar heading out of town, this little place run by Lefteris serves lovely meze dishes. If you order a carafe of wine you will get 3 meze plates and so on as you order drinks. You can also order full courses. This place, is relaxed, friendly and for those with a sense of fun go for the meze and enjoy the surprises!

Symi is a great place for vegetarians and I can highly recommend this lovely family-run bistro for its delicious light meals and snacks. Today we had pizza.....wow!! Cooked to perfection, smothered in cheese, piping hot and did I mention how big it was? And only 8 euros! It’s easy to find as it’s near the bridge and the town square.

La Vaporetta

Reviewed By AnnePJones

This is the only time in my life that I’ve been compelled to ask the waiter to tell the chef that this food is absolutely terrible... La Vaporetta has a lovely location by the water and pleasantly shaded on a hot afternoon. The lunch for two was the most expensive we have had during our eight days here. We’ve had delicious food especially twice at Tholos. But today we tried something different - an ‘italian’ restaurant. Dreadful food. Awful ‘chips’ and the lamest ‘salad’. So I did speak to the waiter - I understand he’s doing a job and not responsible for the shockingly bad food. I asked him to please let the chef know... etc. He didn’t mind. He just said ‘Ok’. Don’t go.

Visited this beautiful waterside space in 2017 and this is what I wrote about it then.“What a wonderful space! Beautifully and thoughtfully laid out, the most excellent sunbeds ever! (I've only seen this style of canopied sunbeds in Cuba) The food and drinks are delicious and well presented. They play smooth, cool jazzy music which adds to the sophistication of this classy beachside jewel. We were very attentively looked after by two lovely girls, Athena and Cleopatra, whose charm and friendliness made a big impact on us. So much so that we have spent nearly every day in the same spot, soaking up the ambience and relaxing. Highly recommend!”Heading back to Symi this week and planning to revisit Petalo several times during our stay. It really is a gem of a spot to sunbathe, relax and allow the incredible ambience to soak into your soul!

Right so this place was THE place to go a few years ago - it was small but now its expanded and taken over the next space Have to say service top notch - well done to the charming front of house woman - and great food - Fava just to die for and the Stifado - ok it was it deconstructed ( not in a pot) but beautiful - portions as you need them rather than want - you know it makes sense
