Rementzo

Reviewed By Mid-Kate - London

We have come through Frikes a few times this Summer and the food here is wonderful. The service is great too.
It can get very busy with flotilla holiday booking - but despite this the food remains top-notch. May be a good idea to book table when you arrive into town. Husband had beef stifado which he said was very nice.

Yefuri Restaurant and Bar

This is a fantastic busy restaurant well off the tourist trail. The boys don't advertise so, it's full to brimming point each night by word of mouth only. They are recommended in the Greek version of Time Out (Athenorema) and otherwise get occasional mentions on the Ithaca home website. We had the best night ever and really want to write a review for/about them but you don't have a listing. When you list them I know that the all the folk from our group would like to comment we were so taken with what they are doing. cheers paul

Reviewed By Barwickgreen - Whitstable, United Kingdom

Probably the worst view of any restaurant on the island, situated by the road in a village, but fantastic food. A great mix of Greek and international cuisine with fresh herbs and fabulous flavours. Everything from Greek meatballs to Pad Thai and weeks perfectly presented.

Chani

Reviewed By copernic2012 - London, United Kingdom

Since last year we visited Chani for first time after many holidays in Ithaca, has become our favorite place. Food is always amazing and they have every time different dishes. The meat is their production as they have their own animals and you cannot go wrong with it. They specialize in goat's meat and dishes based on it. Personally I prefer goat's meat cause lamb smells a lot some times. Service is always good and the view amazing. Cannot remember the starters we had but they were all delicious. We went 4 times there so we pretty much had the whole menu. Goat stifado, goat with ouzo pasta and tomato sauce, goat chops with potatoes in the oven, lamb chops, pork chop etc etc. All delicious. I would like to give an advise to everyone who does not know about some Greek dishes, as I am Greek the dishes like stifado, or ones based on tomato sauce are heavy and filling. Do not over do it with starters and better have them accompanying with wine. We cannot wait to visit next year and I hope they will keep the food standard high.

Kalkanis Restaurant 1980

Reviewed By Gonzolin - Paris, France

This taverna offers traditional tasty meals grilled or cooked with a very light hand & authentic inspiration (the gourounopoulo (baby pork) and the psarosoupa (fish soup) are peculiarly delicious by their rich flavours). There is always good tables available and protected from the wind ; the crowd of the tourists seems to prefer the snack-bar in front of this one, in spite of higher prizes and standard food. I do not understand why. Kalkanis is one of the best places in Vathy to go and eat greek cuisine,

Calypso

A restaurant with a great reputation both in Greece and abroad. Our international visitors have spread our name all over Europe and we are mentioned in every tourist guide that involves Ithaca and Kioni. All our dishes are cooked with greek olive oil and the freshest ingredients. Our fish is provided by the local fishermen and our meat comes from the local market to support the local economy.

Reviewed By Alessandro T

We've been waiting more than 50 minutes to eat what we've ordered. The wine became hot while waiting and the grilled shrimps were cold (not to mention that the salad was served without oil vinegar and salt).
Overall a bad experience. Definatly not the first restaurants in Kioni.

Cafe Toxotis

Reviewed By David G - Surbiton, United Kingdom

Paid my regular visit to Toxotis. The only changes being improvements in the quality of service, drinks and the very good snacks. They serve a great breakfast with an omelette,bacon, tomatoes etc. Excellent start to the day. This is a fabulous place for visitors to start with their visit to Vathy. It is very convenient for day trippers from Kefalonia as it is right on the Harbour Front close to the docking point for boats from Sami. Also Betty and Pelagia are joint Fountains of local knowledge and will happily impart any local information. Definitely not a place to miss. They also serve a terrific Gin and Tonic and a well chilled pint of Mythos! Prices are very reasonable.

Restaurant - Fish Tavern Poseidon

Fish tavern " Poseidon "

Reviewed By JollyBobber - England

Mousaka was excellent and my family thoroughly enjoyed theirs including my wife who had a veggie stuffed aubergine. Service friendly and efficient. Tucked away in a charming little alley off the front - was great to escape the madhouse of peak holiday dining in the main streets and seafont and was also a good choice to avoid the wind on our particular evening. 4 main dishes on display at the front of the kitchen all looked appealing. All round good value too.

Taverna Trehantiri

Reviewed By drsgbaker - london

We chose this restaurant because although we love Greek food, after a couple of days in Greece we were looking for something a bit different. This delivered as there were several dishes on the menu that we hadn't seen elsewhere. Pretty sure that they advertised that they used local produce too. Good service, good ambience.

Fresh fish by the sea!

We had dinner for two times there, on the first and the last day of our visit. The seafood dishes were delicious. Octopus, and the red mullet were my favourite. The service was excellent
