1. Harry's Paradise Garden Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 113 reviews
Real home cooking by Aleka and Evdokia, with fresh ingredients from the garden or of local production, make eating here an unforgettable experience. Our menu varies, depending on what is good and fresh since we do not rely mainly on the market for raw materials. The Mediterranean kitchen is one of the healthiest of the planet and this is what you will enjoy at Harry's!Of course you can have your breakfast with us! Fresh eggs from our neighbor's chickens, vegetarian dishes, home-made marmalades by Evdokia, and a large menu variety which changes often, depending on what goodies we find! Having your own olive trees comes handy too, since we use our own oil in the kitchen.The restaurant is mentioned (and recommended) in the Michelin Guide for the Islands, the Guide de Routard, the Lonely Planet Guide, the Trotter etc. Recently, and after passing the relevant tests, it has been awarded enlisting in the Aegean Cuisine Initiative.

We visited this restaurant after a morning of climbing in Emporios. The setting is idyllic - wildlife is abundant amongst the flowers, shrubs and vines. We closed our eyes and took in the moment, it really does feel like a paradise. Our breakfast was scrummy and good value, my vegy girlfriend enjoyed hers too. We'll be back next time we're in Kalymnos.

I got to Kokkinindis in 2015 at the end of the season in November because they were the last open and did my favourite lamb to die for like no one else does.
This year I returned because I'm now a goat fan. I'd already tried one restaurant which I will never return to and won't disgrace them by mentioning the name of the Taverna.
But goat I didn't get all I got was bones.
Here they not only do the goat, but what a goat lovely rice and lemon potatoes cooked in the oven all day.
The food Rita serves in Kokkinindis has flair, Style, flavour it's just special.
They have EVERYTHING you are looking for on their menu, lovely cocktails. Great atmosphere on the second floor. Lovely lanternas light the restaurant which is two tavernas that join together.
My husband had left early had to go back to work in the UK I was even asked to sit with the family twice and they where very hospitable and friendly to me.
I had my last 4 nights there and what a lovely experience I had.
Professional staff, excellent service, and every tourist I talked to had been there at least 2-3 times.
Surely that says a lot for this gem of a place
If I get back to Kalymnos, that's where I'll have dinner.
She also gives you a lovely desert made of soft flour and honey called I think cluclunados..., hum I think I got the name wrong.
I strongly recommend you make a reservation and BE on time!!
You'll love the place. I include pictures of the food, the restaurant and the family and Rita of course!!!

You can't help to feel like you have known these people forever- we slept in very late one day, but where still greated with open arms, and they made us a wonderful breakfast. We came back to eat dinner here, and eventhough our daughter has to have foods with no milk, they managed to make her the most wonderful pizza she had ever had- with just the things she said she wanted on it. We adults tried a mix grill and loved it! Huge portions, you wont go hungry away from this place. Absolutly wonderful foods and staff.

Never been disappointed here. Excellent location with stunning views . Menu regularly updated and always has something new to try. Try the lamb for two. Make sure you leave room for desserts though. Can't fault this place. Recommend you book in advance though. Just pop in and book. Pick your table too.

This restaurant is near the Plaza hotel at Massouri, Kalymnos in the main street of Massouri. It has amazing view looking down the sea and the food is amazing and at very good price. The owner, Miltos, is a young man with very good communication skills. One can tell that he loves his job!

A popular restaurant with views over Talendos, friendly staff created a welcoming atmosphere and the food was of an outstanding quality, particular favourites were the shrimp balls and the Lam special (25 Euros for two) which in reality was a large lamb joint thta would have served four.

This place just has the best vibe with the owners putting all the elements together beautifully creating the ideal place for family and friends to meet and eat and enjoy each other's company. The staff are super helpful and friendly. The mum chef is amazing and the food reflects this.
Group of 10 thoroughly enjoyed each meze, drinks and atmosphere. Great variety of food, from authentic Greek to some wonderful creations, from meat lovers to vegetarians at a 50:50 balance. I'm not vegetarian however I must admit I found the vegetarian dishes DELICIOUS!!!!

Nicely out of the way of the main tourist trap of Massouri. Lovely views of fishing harbour and often live traditional music. A great welcome from the family here. Really fresh fish from the harbour and don't miss Annas hone made soup. Whatever it is it WILL be good. Also very good value.
