Where to Eat in Cephalonia: The Best Restaurants and Bars
The sapphire waters of Cephalonia are steeped with history. The large Greek island was home to Odysseus, the legendary king hailed in Homer’s The Odyssey. Fortunately, it won’t take you ten years to get there. Explore the enchanting caverns of the Drogarati caves, sail to Ithaca on a glass-bottomed boat or marvel at the ancient artifacts inside the Archaeological Museum of Argostoli, Cephalonia’s main town. Or just hide from it all at one of the island’s many private beach coves.

1. The Olive Lounge

This is a cut above most of the other restaurants here, with the owner showing her attention to style, detail, quality and sheer friendliness of welcome. We came on a wet and almost cold night when the outdoors was closed, but the view and setting on a sunny day must be top rate. Starters were excellent. I think we ordered wrongly for mains, getting the two biggest steaks ever seen (due to being fed up with the same old routine in all of the other restaurants) - but whilst they appeared great at first, they didn't have anything like the quality you'd get with something like a florentine steak in Italy. Other diners mainly had fish, all of which looked very good indeed. So it's five stars for the sheer quality of the restaurant, for the welcome and service, and for the pleasure of dining here.

This restaurant is located on the very last turn before actually getting on the Vatsa beach itself (about 100 m from the beach).

Fancied a change from Greek taverna food and was delighted to spot Paralos. We all had Pizzas and they were all great, as was the service. Highly recommended.

Cafe bar in village centre, Lourdas
Reviewed By brewerboy - Tamworth, United Kingdom
As a member of CAMRA (the British real ale group) I was thrilled when we found this quirky little place. The guy's ale knowledge is impressive as is his collection of treddle sewing machines and weighing scales. Nice to be able to drink something with taste as opposed to the usual cold gassy Mythos etc.

We visited Muses having been here many times on our holidays in Lourdas. Unfortunately Muses is only open late on Friday nights. We enjoyed cocktails and milkshakes and lovely Nadia treated us to a lemon liquor. Service and Gardens are excellent as always.

Walked from Fiscardo to Antipata and stopped here for coffee. I received a very warm welcome from the staff and the feel of the place was relaxing. The coffee and chocolate cake were amazing. Tasty, hot coffee and delicious cake light and slightly warm.
Customers were all talking about their delicious choices of breakfast.
I was recommended by the staff another route back to Fiscardo where the views were fantastic.
Many thanks Nicoletta and the staff.

I have been visiting for years, and it never changes, from a very warm welcome, with iced water, to the terrific setting, not to mention the food. The home made food is to die for, we had drinks and cheesecake, which was so good, it spoiled our dinner. I can recommend both the black cherry cheesecake, and the baked pear cheesecake, both stunning, if somewhat large!

At Kallithea you can find a wide selection of home made traditional Kefalonian dishes, all prepared with local products and fresh ingredients. The magnificent view of the ionion pelagos combined with the green Mountains of Kefalonia will make your lunch or dinner an un-forgetable experience!

We had dinner here and enjoyed the amazing view. We ordered tzatziki and saganaki as starters, both nice. The lamb chops were not as tender as we had hoped. The beef casserole was tasty, but also varying in tenderness from chewy to tender. Service was friendly and a nice touch was the watermelon that came with the bill.

10. Milos Taverna

Reviewed By Lin H - Portsmouth, England, United Kingdom
We went to the beach daily and used the sunbeds offered by Milos and then ate at the restaurant every lunchtime. My partner drank beer there throughout the day!!! The staff are so welcoming and friendly with excellent English and with great sense of humour. We did not have enough days in our holiday to try everything on the menu unfortunately, but we had something different everyday and not one day were we disappointed. The view from the restaurant over the beach is great, and it is nice and cool on the Terrace. SUPERB, SUPERB SUPERB - cannot recommend enough.
