As soon as we arrived we were attended by the friendly staff. We were seated outside to enjoy the sounds of the sea and the rising of the moon.The menu was just long enough to whet our appetites, and also translates that all dishes would be well made.We ordered the Spaghetti with Shrimp which was exquisite. Not only was the pasta cooked perfectly al dente, but also the prawns were cooked to perfection retaining flavour and firmness. A highly recommended.ÎÏ ÏαÏιÏÏοÏμε ÏολÏ!!!

In Monemvasia, expect that restaurants are touristified: less good and more expensive than elsewhere on the Peloponnese. To Kanoni is no exception.On the menu, we found Grilled Tuna Souvlaki quite appealing. But â¬26 seemed a bit steep, also fresh fish at â¬85 per kilo. Or a portion of lobster at â¬85? Boy, we are not in Paris or London, we are in Greece!Okay, the meat dishes looked quite good on the menu. The signature dish seemed to be "Tsigariasto lamb, Slow cooked in wine and herbs, Cretan recipe served with French fries" at â¬13.90. Promising, isn't it? So, we ordered it. What we got, was simply bland. Almost tasteless. Which herbs? We could not taste them. In regular taverns, you get a similar lamb dish for â¬8.00, and it was not worth any more. Same with "Oregano Lamb". We could not taste any oregano.Shall I add that the service was less friendly than elsewhere in Greece? The lady owner was quite charming, when she greeted us, but the waiter who served us was not at all.But that's Monemvasia. Expensive, bland, not friendly. But we did not come for food, we came for history.Hi Mr Traveller1959, Thank you for taking the time to right your opinion. Let me explain some things about the Castle of Monemvasia and our restaurant. The Grilled Tuna Souvlaki at 26⬠is the fillet of the Tuna (no bones and very tender). It is not the Souvlaki you imagine on the wooden small skewer. Do not want to persuade you but it is one of our best dishes for people who can appreciate it. Fresh fish by Kg. at 85/Kg, Local fishermen sell the A quality fish at the price of 35-40⬠depending on the demand. We do not buy cheep, freeze it and sell it for fresh to German tourists. In the price we also debone the fish infront of you at your table from our trained waiters. The lobster is no portion but by the kg. also, same as the fresh fish applies for the lobster it is by order and always alive before you can enjoy it. You might not be in Paris or London but you are in Monemvasia in Greece. One of the most unique places in all of Europe a live Byzantine Castle preserved by Natura, and managed by archeologists so that it can be maintained the way it used to be. As you saw in the Castle all products are being carried by workers from the gate to every house, Hotel or Restaurant, this alone makes the cost a bit higher than the rest of the Pelopennese. I cannot say anything about your prefrences and tastes they are personal but the lambs are one of the dishes we get the most congratulations on. If the problem would be with one of the two lamb dishes i could say that maybe there was a mistake from our Chef (something difficult to happen from a professional) but you had complains on Tripadvisor (not at our waiter) for both lamb dishes.I am very sorry you had that opinion about Monemvasia.

3. To Kastro

At the foot of Monemvasia Castle, under the shadow of the imposing rock, lies the restaurant "To Kastro", with a tradition of 38 years and passion for good food. You'll find it on your left hand side just after crossing the bridge leading to the Castle.

Spent an hour here over lunch before climbing up towards the old castle. Several terraces available, some with good views if you can take the heat of the sun (even in April!). Food was ok but nothing special. A Greek salad, fish soup and calamari with bread, water and a glass of wine cost â¬26.60. The salad was good and plentiful, the fish soup was not a large portion and the calamari was very chewy compared with other similar meals. The calamari came with chips. There were several cats hanging around although one of thrusts was provided with a small children's water pistol to fire at that's if they were bothering them and their dog! The cats were a bit of a nuisance especially if you don't like them. They take Visa cards.Hello our restaurant is not situated inside the castle we don t serve fish soup and we never did your review is about another restaurant, ours is situated outside the castle after the bridge and we serve pizza, pasta and grilled meats there must be a mistake about the place of your review! Could you please correct it thank you!
