Restaurant
Casa Grec is a hidden gem located on a quiet street in Argostolion, offering a variety of Greek, Italian, and French cuisine. While it may not boast breathtaking views, the restaurant compensates with its passionate and knowledgeable staff dedicated to showcasing the best of local food. The menu features dishes like Moussaka, seafood risotto, Greek salad, tzatziki, traditional ribs, halloumi salad, mushroom tart, and pork in red wine with walnuts.
We visited Casa Grec at the end of June for 5 days, from our 7 nights in Cephalonia and I have to say that it was, by far, the best restaurant we have tried there. The food was delicious and the personnel very friendly and ready to recommend the best option from the menu. Everything was very tasty from the starter till the dessert. Thank you for a very nice culinary experience and we hope to come again to continue.

Beautiful restaurant with very cool decoration and atmosphere. The service was also brilliant, it is for for the reason that I give it 4 stars. The food however did not live up to expectations, too much salt on all dishes and the menu wasn't Greek enough for me. When I Greece I prefer to eat very Greek dishes, this restaurant seemed to be more global to cater for tourists which some may love but it wasn't the best for me.

The pork shank / loin here deserves no less than five stars! Slow cooked, well seasoned, generous portions. Waiter recommended a good wine that went perfectly with our food. Furthermore: cosy interior & very friendly staff that attends to your every need.

Casa Grec is literally the best dining experience I have ever had ... and you just need to take one look at me to see I've had a LOT of dining experiences. We came to Argostoli for just two nights from Fiskardo. Our plan was to eat out on night one. Do a boat trip on day two and then eat out somewhere else on night two. We chose Casa Grec, based upon a recommendation for night one. We loved it so much, we booked it again for night two. From the outside it doesn't look particularly exciting, nor when you first step in. It's a different story when you are shown to the dining area, however. The setting is like a rustic courtyard; traditional, beautiful and very unique. The photos do not do it justice. As it goes dark the mood lighting creates an ambience that is simply wonderful. The service is absolutely top class; friendly, helpful, polite and attentive. This is a very professionally run establishment. The food was simply stunning. The first night I had pork shank. It fell off the bone and was seasoned spectacularly. My wife had grilled salmon and it was delicious. The second night my wife had beef short rib which was excellent. I had the pepper steak, which was so tender it was like cutting through butter. From the setting, to the quality of food, to the service, Casa Grec is second to none.

I have been visiting Greece every summer in the pat few years. And I have always experience amazing Greek hospitality! Unfortunately the visit to this restaurant was a let down. 1. One of the waiters was very rude. Definitely not welcoming! He even threw the receipt to us on the table in a very arrogant and disrespectful manner! 2. Some of the dishes were good, specially pork. Maybe we were wrong to order pasta in Greece (although the restaurant claims to offer Greek/ Italian food), but it was tasteless! The grilled octopus was overcooked and burned. The saganaki cheese was average. On a positive note, the house wine was cheap, chilled and lovely. Other waiters were a little kinder. Restaurant ambience is nice. Overall experience, unfortunately due to the waiter (even rejecting our 5% tip, due to the poor service and medium quality food/ we lef the pasta and only ate the prawns), and the quality of all food, was poor. After 12 years visiting the Balkans, I believe I understand the culture. But the hosts in this restaurant are definitely not friendly! And food is definitely not memorable. I have included a picture of my bill to verify I was there tonight. DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED.

Nestled along the picturesque coast of Argostolion, Ampelaki Greek Restaurant stands out as a delightful destination for those seeking authentic Greek flavors. This modern eatery offers a fresh take on traditional taverna dining, making it an ideal spot for couples and families alike. The menu features beloved classics such as Moussaka and seafood risotto, alongside vibrant salads like Greek salad and tzatziki.
Our first visit to Argostoli we trusted Google reviews to pick a restaurant and we weren't let down. Excellent establishment, courteous staff who offered to accommodate us inside while we wait for a table outside to become vacant. The food was delicious and very well prepared. Simple yet very well thought menu. Definitely check it out. The octopus kriteraki was great.

Fantastic restaurant. Excellent quality food with care in a great setting. The menu offers some great alternatives to the ’standard’ greek menu. The owners and staff are very welcoming and happy to assist however they can. Would return and recommend. Our third time at this restaurant! Everything excellent!
Zak Z — Google review
Ampelaki has set a high bar as our first dinner in Kefalonia. The moussaka is quite possibly one of the best I've ever had - creamy and rich. The grilled octopus with beans was also exquisite. The sauce on the rabbit was delicious, but the gameyness of it wasn't quite my taste. No matter, the dessert of patsavouropita was to die for and made up for it. Service was genuine, warm, and attentive.
Sani A — Google review
Amazing shop! Recommended! The sea bream fillet was impeccable, the calamari perfectly fried, and the pastitsio divine! Cooked at the moment, individually in a clay pot. Be sure to get the crab meatballs and the cheese pie. All handmade and fresh. The staff was very kind, they responded whenever we needed them. All this in a nice environment by the sea and at absolutely reasonable prices. Well done!!! Keep going!
Agisilaos K — Google review
The food was good over all excepting the moussaka witch was rly bad(tasteless). That was disappointing. But the fresh fried calamari was insane. Probably the best calamari I ate in Greece in the last 5 years. French fries were good also. The service is nice, everything else is perfect. I guess the only issue was the moussaka.

The food was soooo delicious, one of the most things we liked in Kefalonia, there is a little bit noise and the service a little slow , some cats may bother you but it was fine , I would recommend it if you are in Argostoli

We had our first meal in Argostoli, Kefalonia at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The pastitsio was one of the best I’ve ever ate. The balance with the béchamel sauce was spot on and not too rich at all. My dad enjoyed his meat dish while mum enjoyed the pastitsio as well. The complimentary dessert hit the spot. We will definitely be back!

The restaurant is in front of the sea sidearea in Argostoli. The food, the atmosphere, the service everything was great. They brought everything surprisingly quick and we ate rather fast but kept nibbling when the manager of the restaurant sent 4 different people in 15’ minutes to ask us if we were finished! We really felt like they were shoving us out of the restaurant! Ps. We did a reservation a day before and nobody informed us about a time slot so this behavior was somewhat rude to us…

This trendy eatery is perfect for those looking to explore Japanese-inspired dishes, featuring an array of fresh noodle options and beautifully crafted fish and vegetarian sushi.

A beautiful restaurant with amazing service and food. Me and my girlfriend went here while on holiday and we then decided to go back on our last night it was that good. Everything on the menu looks amazing and you're spoilt for choice. Also highly recommend the sake too. The staff show their appreciation and bend over backwards to make it the best experience possible. There is indoor seating or outdoor seating and both are as stunning as the next.

First of all the sushi was good, but the service was completely bad, we ordered 2 extra mayo sauce, but they didn’t bring any with the sushi, we had to remind the waiter, then he brought only one, and they made us pay for 2 as you see on the receipt, and when we first arrived at the restaurant, there was plenty of tables available but once we came the waiter told us she doesn’t have a place for 3 without even checking or looking , she answered right away with no efforts of showing that she cares to let us in, but then another guy came(who looked like he was in charge) and he let us in smoothly, lastly the place where we were sitting was pouring water from a pipe on one of my friends, so it wasn’t the best experience, also the waiter refused to divide the amount by 3 which is something so easy to do, i wouldn’t recommend this place considering its high prices and low quality service :/

Il Borgo Restaurant is a renowned dining spot in Kefalonia, just a short walk from St. Georges Castle and a 15-minute drive from Argostoli. Its dramatic castle views and vine-covered terrace make it one of the best restaurants on the island. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus with delicious dishes like chicken Il Borgo, grilled salmon, moussaka, and pasticcio.
Great place with a view over St. Giorgios Church and very close to it that offers good dishes. I loved the zucchini fritters and the apple crumble. I also had the rabbit, but there were touches of coriander inside and that wasn't to my taste. The service was excellent, we managed to ask for recommendations on food and what to see around. The view is superb - you must try sitting on the terrace covered by wine vines as the view is breathtaking.

The restaurant is located on the mountainside with a breathtaking view of the coastline and the ancient fortress. Professional and fast staff, a varied menu that also offers classic dishes of the island alongside more unique dishes. We ordered a Greek salad and grilled octopus for starters which was really excellent. For mains we ordered the pasta dish with oxtail which was really excellent and special, and a steak which my wife always orders well down and for a change the steak came out perfect!! Chefs are usually hesitant to do such a degree of work and miss, their chef managed to bring the piece to the right degree of work and maintain its juiciness at the same time. It should be noted that there were a lot of bees, the staff provided smoke-emitting devices to effectively keep them away. In short, an excellent restaurant with amazing.

The food was good - not just tourist fare but actually good. If this restaurant was in Athens it would be good. I had the meatballs - cooked into they fall apart with homemade tomato sauce. The grilled vegetables were also very good - healthy, tasty. Beautiful views over the valley.

So many good things. Staff were perfect, views were perfect, food was perfect, cats were cute. Moussaka is my favourite Greek dish so I try it often, and this was by far the best one I found in Kefalonia. The bread and dip was sooo good. Grilled veggies were simple but perfect as they were. The steak looked good. Nice espresso after. It was pretty warm and quiet when we were there, and the staff even gave me an ice-cream after paying while they also enjoyed one. Would absolutely come back here again to visit the castle during opening hours.

This restaurant felt a bit more touristy, with many English visitors, not the classic taverna style I was looking for. The view was beautiful, and the food was good, but the place is definitely more upscale. It’s a lovely restaurant and was recommended to me, but it wasn’t quite what I had in mind. The portions were smaller compared to other places. I personally didn’t mind, but the guys in our group were a bit disappointed by that. On the other hand, the dessert was absolutely amazing, the portokalopita came with ice cream on top and it was incredible!

One of the best restaurants we tried in Kefalonia. The location is beautiful and well kept, with a romantic atmosphere and a stunning view over the coastline and the ancient fortress. The staff is professional and fast, and the menu combines traditional Greek dishes with more unique options. We had pita bread, tzatziki, olives, grilled octopus and cheese loukoumades to start, all excellent. For mains we tried the moussaka and the chicken “Il Borgo”, both very good with the moussaka being particularly abundant. Prices are fair and the service attentive. We left very satisfied and will definitely return.

Guests can indulge in a variety of Greek and Kefalonian specialties alongside grilled meats and pastas. On weekends, you might even be treated to roast piglet on the spit!
Incredible dinner and view of sunset. Appetizer of feta, phyllo, honey & sesame seeds amazing. Moussake and oven lamb with potatoes great. Literally of house wine less than 10€. So great we are headed back two nights later. A bit out of town so less crowded which is great. Must try !!

A great spot in Lassi with a beautiful sunset if you can get there for that time. The staff were friendly and attentive at the start but did forget about us near the end.

Melograno (Argostoli) is a recently established eatery in the town square. While they are still ironing out some service issues, the restaurant exudes a sophisticated atmosphere. If you're seeking an upscale dining experience, this place is highly recommended. Their Greek salad and lobster pasta come particularly praised. Beyond the delectable food, Melograno stands out for its exceptional accommodation of dietary restrictions and allergies.
Fantastic food. We all polished our plates. Highly recommend the sushi and the fava. Beautiful interior and accommodating staff.

Restaurant in a perfect location in the center of the main square Modern and inviting design, there is seating both inside and outside. In terms of food, some were more successful and some less so My wife and I visited twice. The dishes we liked the most were the Kaplani Kadayif dish, which was excellent and special, and the rib eye steak. We were less impressed with the meatballs, and the shrimp pasta dish, which we found to be quite anemic and came with only 4 shrimp (22 euros!). A small note to the restaurant - if you charge 39 euros for a steak dish, you can also give an extra side dish without paying extra.. This just creates a feeling of exploitation of the customer who wants a full dish. Apart from that, a great restaurant, you just have to choose the right dishes

Wow… honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. We had the bone marrow which was cooked beautifully, I had the beef cheeks which melt in your mouth and my partner had the sea urchin pasta. I had the chocolate passion dessert and my partner had the melograno dessert, both were not only plated beautifully but had such a balance in favour. Our server Ryan was the kindest person, so helpful and happy to explain dishes or give his recommendations. 10/10 would recommend coming here, you’d be a fool not too

The best meal I've had this year. The lamb shank was so tender and what they did with the sauces was just extremely delicious. My girlfriend had the lobster pasta and she said it was perfectly flavourful and easy to eat. Our waitress was super friendly and even treated us to a drink on the house at the end.

Melograno is a stylish and modern restaurant located in the heart of Argostoli, Kefalonia. The location is inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating that is clean, thoughtfully designed, and pleasantly decorated. The overall ambiance is elegant but relaxed, making it a nice spot for a quiet dinner or a special night out. The staff is young and friendly, adding a warm touch to the experience. However, be prepared to wait — both for your food and even for the bill. The service tends to be quite slow, with meals arriving up to 30 minutes after ordering, even when the place isn’t too busy. That said, the quality of the food does make up for the wait. We tried the prawns and pasta dishes — everything was fresh, well-prepared, and full of rich, balanced flavors. It’s clear that the ingredients are carefully selected and the cooking is done with attention. On the downside, portions are relatively small, especially compared to the higher-end pricing (around 20–25€ for pasta). You may leave still feeling a bit hungry. Also, there’s no complementary bread at the beginning, although there’s no “coperto” charge, which is a fair trade-off. In summary, Melograno is perfect if you’re looking for refined flavors and a modern setting — just make sure you’re not in a rush and don’t mind paying a bit more for quality over quantity.

I can confidently say this is probably the best restaurant in Kefalonia. Everything we tried from the menu was absolutely delicious! Possibly the best garlic prawns I’ve ever had, and definitely the best baklava we tried on the island. The staff were very professional, polite and spoke excellent English, which made the experience even better. Honestly, the only downside was that we didn’t have enough days to come back and try more dishes from the menu. We’ll definitely be returning next time we’re in Kefalonia!

Phaedra is a lovely restaurant located in Lassi, Kefalonia, with a welcoming atmosphere and super friendly staff who make you feel at home from the start. The location is all outdoor, with plenty of seating and a cozy setup where you can even catch a beautiful sunset while dining. The food is truly delicious — fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The seabass is perfectly cooked and tender, while the prawns linguini is rich and full of taste — both highly recommended dishes. The fish is fresh and you can tell they really care about quality. Prices are in line with the area’s standards, and as a nice touch, they even offer you something at the end of your meal, which makes the experience even more pleasant.

Really good food, definitely a cut above the others on this strip. We had the saganaki cheese with tomato marmalade and kumquat confit, lovely. Then mains were the seafood souvlaki and the lamb shank in dark beer, olive oil and garlic sauce, both excellent. House rosë was quite drinkable too.

The Captain's Table restaurant in Argostoli offers an upscale waterfront dining experience with a wide-ranging Greek menu. The friendly service and delicious coffee are nice extras, and the views are top-notch. For value, two coffees and a large bottle of water is only 6 euros. This conveniently located restaurant is popular with visitors to Argostoli.
Amazing view and location + the food is absolutely beautiful. Returned with my friends many times, I was beyond impressed. Highly recommend the salmon and the sword fish. We had the wonderful Panagiotis take care of us each time we visited, send him our love we were so happy with his service!! Hope to be back soon :)

A cute restaurant with a view of the marina and the mountains with pleasant and professional service. The gamista (vegetarian stuffed vegetables) are delicious, but the pickled anchovy dish felt quality but bought, the meat pie was not ideally made and lacked seasoning. Overall, we may have fallen for less successful dishes. Worth another try

We visited Captain’s Table yesterday. The location is really beautiful, right by the water – the atmosphere was pleasant. Unfortunately, that was the only positive part of our visit. We ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad, a double cheeseburger, the Chicken Caesar Burger, and an avocado toast. The Caesar Salad was disappointing – the dressing tasted heavily of mayonnaise and nothing like a real Caesar dressing. The chicken pieces were pre-fried, greasy, and didn’t taste fresh at all. The cheeseburger was inedible. The patty had an extremely high onion content, making it oddly creamy rather than meaty. There was no mention of onions on the menu – misleading and simply not tasty. The “fresh” fries were also not convincing. They were very crispy but overly oily, as if they had been fried more than once or reheated. Definitely not fresh. The chicken burger tasted very similar to the Caesar chicken – again, not fresh, likely frozen or pre-fried. The avocado toast was the low point: not fresh avocado, but an overripe, mushy cream with a spoiled taste. It was not edible – we left it untouched. The drinks were okay. But what really ruined the experience was the service. When we mentioned the issues, there was no reaction at all – no interest, no apology, nothing. Bottom line: beautiful location, but poor food and terrible service. Definitely not a place we would return to.

Guys, I usually don't talk to much about food, although I'm a foodie, but yesterday night I ate the BEST grilled octopus of my life and I'm not exaggerating, I've been visiting Greece for 10 years and no octopus has ever impressed me like this dish did. It melts in your mouth and combined with the puree makes it even better. The taste was divine. The staff was nice and hardworking. Thank you and my compliments to the chef!

We came here for brunch and loved the setting – a lovely spot with a nice atmosphere and a beautiful location. However, the food didn’t fully meet our expectations. My omelette was quite plain, and the English breakfast was a bit disappointing in both quality and taste. It’s definitely a place with potential, but the breakfast menu could use some improvement. Booking in advance is recommended, as it can get quite busy.

I had one of my most memorable meals in Kefalonia at Captain’s Table. This beautiful little taverna stole my heart with its authentic flavors, warm atmosphere, and peaceful seaside setting. The grilled octopus and grilled squid were simply amazing — fresh, tender, and cooked to perfection. You could truly taste the sea in every bite. It’s rare to find seafood so well-prepared, and here it felt like eating a dish made with love and tradition. The people were kind and welcoming, and the whole experience felt genuine and relaxed, like visiting a family home. If you're visiting Kefalonia and want to enjoy real Greek food in a beautiful spot, Captain’s Table is a must. I can’t wait to return.

Not sure what’s going on here. Anemic Greek salad with 0 olives, tiny amount of feta. Simple misunderstandings - pizza order was missed which wasn’t a big deal at all but lady got defensive saying we sidnt tell get yo out it in when it was the first thing we said and moved onto ordering other dishes. 2 dishes were brought to us that were not ours (1 photo shared of the sad fried potatoes that weren’t ours). Another pizza was brought to us then taken away, when we already had ours. None of this was a bother to us, just needs some refining for this price level as it is not a pool snack bar nor are the prices cheaper here than anywhere else. Servers working very hard, did a fine job. Food just wasn’t good, half warm and of course the disrespect to call that a Greek salad. Nice atmosphere in the square, would certainly return elsewhere. Only due to the lack of care to the taste and quality of the food, I wouldn’t return here.

Palia Plaka, situated in the Maistrato area of Argostoli, is a popular spot for traditional Kefalonian cuisine. For over two decades, both locals and tourists have gathered on its breezy seaside terrace to savor dishes like Kefalonian meat pie and braised goat sofigado. The extensive menu makes it challenging to choose from the array of well-prepared dishes available for lunch and dinner.
Simply exceptional simple Greek food and outstanding service! We had the fish (perch) and octopus pasta (both with couscous which was so well made) and a side of orzo beef which was so tender! The portions were HUGE. The bill was €21 with a large bottle of water. They even offered dessert on the house (which we politely declined as we were stuffed). We wished we found this place sooner! A must try!

With its traditional yet well-equipped ambiance, it offers an ideal setting to relish your holidays while being conveniently close to Kefalonia's pristine sandy beaches. This restaurant has gained a reputation for serving exceptional meals, featuring delectable starters, freshly caught fish, succulent baked lamb, and enticing daily specials.

During our recent stay in the area, we visited this restaurant twice, and while the experiences were consistent in some ways, our feelings about the food varied between visits. One thing that remained constant was the fantastic staff. Every person we encountered was warm, friendly, and always smiling, which made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The service was quick and attentive on both occasions, which is always a huge plus. As for the food, our first visit was fantastic. We started with a fresh, vibrant salad and a flavorful fava spread that set the tone for what felt like a perfect dinner. The highlight, though, was the sea bream with orzo – cooked to perfection, with the orzo beautifully complementing the fish. We left very impressed and eager to return. Our second visit, however, didn’t quite live up to the first. This time, we ordered the octopus and the cod burger. Unfortunately, both dishes were underwhelming. The octopus lacked the tenderness and flavor we were hoping for, and the cod burger, while creative, didn’t match the quality of the sea bream we had before. Overall, it's a restaurant with great service and a cozy atmosphere, but consistency in the food quality was hit or miss. If you stick to their signature dishes, like the sea bream, you're in for a treat.

Easily the best restaurant in Lixouri — and honestly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had anywhere in Greece after several trips across the islands. Avli blends Greek tradition with broader Mediterranean influences in the most delightful way. From the oven-warm homemade bread with salty pickle butter to the grand finale of a San Sebastian cheesecake, every dish is pure perfection — without the pretentiousness you sometimes get with fine dining. Special mention goes to the unique moussaka, which first drew us here after being featured on a well-known German culinary TV show. It literally melts in your mouth, and we couldn’t believe it costs only €12. I’m not saying they should charge more, but it would still be worth it at double the price. Another highlight: the Hünkar. We’d never heard of it before, but the creamy eggplant purée paired with the most tender veal (cooked for what must have been half a day) was unforgettable. We came twice in just three days — and would’ve happily returned again if their season hadn't come to a well deserved end. An absolute must-visit on Kefalonia, no matter where you’re staying on the island.

Friendly and attentive staff, especially the girl with curly hair and glasses who is wearing a “Tropical” t-shirt tonight. If you're in Kefalonia, you can't go home without stopping here. We've had dinner and lunch at many restaurants on the island, and I really think everyone else should come and take cooking lessons at this restaurant. I won't say anything else!

Really lovely food. I found this place through Google and am very glad I did. I had the moussaka which was amazing - very very tasty. We also had some chips and various dips for starter. The waitress spoke English which was very helpful and recommended some lovely wine. The venue was small but clean and not too noisy so you can hear each other speak which is as good. In terms of the other people - the one of the Kefalonia meat pies was burnt which was a shame and the other wasn’t but was a bit dry and needed some gravy - which other restaurants offer. The main meals like moussaka and pie need a salad or vegetable to go with it as you do only get the pie or the moussaka - so not a complaint but just a suggestion. You also can’t order a salad separately to go with it even if you fancy it. The staff were accommodating in that we had a vegetarian with a nut allergy and they managed to make a lovely pasta dish. All in all the food is fantastic on the whole - just a few dishes needed a bit more attention to detail. We were a large table of 10 people and service as a good speed. Would go back & worth a visit.

The “Breezy” zucchini salad was fantastic the traditional Kefalonia pie could have been more herby in the filling but the crust was perfection - really obvious that this kitchen knows what they’re doing delivering contemporary twists on traditional local food and produce!

Definitely one of the nicest spots in Argostoli, particularly when you can secure a table by the water, facing the impressive length of the bridge. Food is tasty and service fast. Only downside is the unasked for paying bread and plastic bottled water. The amount is nothing to fuss about, but we're happy to pay for what we ordered and whatever else is brought to the table should be complimentary, which is the case in most Greek restaurants.

I felt so nauseous after the food.The food was not good, me and my parents ordered, grilled octopus,seafood orzo,fried calamari, saganki as well. The grilled octopus was TINY just the tiniest tentacle. The seafood orzo that you see in the picture-the mussels were called and the orzo had a really bad overpowering tomato taste with some cheese I almost choked on. The fried calamari was badly chewy you can get better in the uk. But the only thing that was amazing was seeing the massive sea turtle in the sea.

Food was not great.. I ordered shrimp's pasta and had more shrimp's heads and very tiny shrimps that tasted awful 😞. The sauce of the pasta seemed to be an 'instant mix'.

The only good thing was the view if you are lucky enough to find a table near the water where tortoises and swans come near.. (it was not my case)

Service a little slow and sometimes chaotic, they brought our main sides out with the starters and the mains out without clearing away the starters plates. But this could be down to lost in translation and when we asked they were on the ball. Friendly and wonderful and when you have this setting you don't mind sitting for a little longer and relaxing! Wonderful we will be back!

A truly charming place with an outstanding view — set under the shade of trees, right above a cliff that overlooks crystal-clear waters. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, made even better by the friendly, smiling, and welcoming staff. All the products are fresh and carefully prepared. Everything we tasted was delicious and full of flavor — except the calamari, which I wouldn’t recommend. But aside from that, the whole menu was excellent and definitely worth a visit.

Delicious food. We got chicken with black bean sauce, chicken sichuan with hot spice and egg fried rice.

A very disappointing meal, lacked taste, presentation, and was very over priced. Don't bother, save yourself the pain. Staff very good and polite, but let down with the quality. Rice appeared to be microwaved having had hard bits in it. The chicken chow maine looked like packet noodles you can get in the UK for 50p with hardly any chicken, and no taste. Told the staff who just said to let the chef know, wasn't happy to pay for sub standard food.

Service is very low level and it seems like there’s no communication between the waiters as the 2 waiters regularly wanted to do what the other waiter had already done (such as setting the table, etc.). Took a long time for basic things - when we told a waiter that we are ready to order, it took around 5 minutes until the other waiter came to take our order, as well as 5 minutes until we got the receipt after asking to pay (it wasn’t busy at the time). They have a big list of coffee although none of the coffee is available - “We don’t have coffee”. The egg fried rice tasted nothing like it should - there was a lot of pepper added despite having no need for it in any real recipe, and there was 0 soy sauce and spring onions, as well as not a lot of egg, mostly just carrot and peas. It was also quite pricy for what it was - around 10eur for just 1 egg fried rice dish, which wasn’t even authentic.

We have been customers for 23 years, since the restaurant was in Lassi. Lately the quality has deteriorated (too salty) and the prices have skyrocketed. €17 for a dish, really? In other countries, Chinese is the go-to budget food. No wonder the place was half-empty on a Friday night in July. Also, now they only deliver through Wolt, which is a pain to order and costs extra.

Beverinos, located in Argostoli, is a popular spot frequented by locals. This charming restaurant offers delicious meze and small plates, making it a great place to grab a bite to eat. The service is prompt and welcoming, adding to the authentic atmosphere. It's advisable to arrive between 8 and 9 as the restaurant tends to get busy.

We were very pleased with the food they offered, an authentic menu. The location looks pretty fancy, beautiful garden. We‘ve had meatballs and the veggie burgers, they were also very uncomplicated to change the side dish (fries) into cabbage carrot salad. We didn‘t give 5 stars because they were out of sea food and some beers. However, we‘d totally come here again!

We wen't there two times because we really enjoyed the food and the location. This restaurant is located in a small side street out of the way of the main street but near enough for a short stroll. The appetizers are really really good and it is a good idea to combine a few of them together to have a rich variety of Greek food to taste. The "small" grill plate isn't so small and you can definitely eat it together with some appetizers together with friends. It is very quiet in this street and you can sit on their porch. Everyone spoke English and was very friendly.

Went here several times during our stay in Argostoli. Twice to eat (delicious meze/small plates) and once for drinks.(Recommend Mamos beer/rakimelon/Robola wine :) Frequented by locals, this place is really pretty, welcoming and prompt service - but it does get busy so get there between 8 and 9 if you want to eat and enjoy the authentic atmosphere. In a back street between the harbourfront and main square- a great find!

We ordered 3 chicken wraps for 3 of us and I ordered 1 kit-kat shake for me which was outstanding. Our order took 5 mins to arrive. The chicken wraps were so good 10/10.

The pride of ownership really shows in this little coffee and snack bar. Their sandwiches are proudly on display in a well refrigerated case, along with fresh fruits, vegetables, smoothie ingredients, and a fully stocked well-trained barista prepared to make you any coffee drink, or variant that you could desire. The tables are clean. The bathrooms are immaculate, which is a lot to be said for a downtown Kefalonia establishment. The people who own this shop deserve extra acclaims for making a friendly environment as well as a clean, healthy and inviting place to stop for a snack or a visit.

Great place to have breakfast or a snack near the port. Kind of Starbucks but in my opinion way better. They serve pastry. The croissants are good and also the hot chocolate.

Tzogia's Taverna is a charming restaurant located in Lassi, Kefalonia. It is situated at the costa costa end of the main strip and offers traditional homemade Greek food with a wide selection. The staff are known for their friendly service, despite having to navigate stairs to serve customers. This quaint eatery provides an opportunity to enjoy mind-blowing food in the small town of Lassi, making it a must-visit for those looking for an authentic Greek dining experience.
I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. The place itself is fantastic you can choose a table on several “levels,” which creates a really unique atmosphere. The waiters were kind. There were three of us dining, and unfortunately, my dish wasn’t good. The waitress warned me that the plate was hot and it really was but the pasta inside was almost ice-cold, especially not at the top. The taste wasn’t good either; it felt like it wasn’t fresh. However, my friends were satisfied with their meals, so I guess I was just unlucky with mine. After paying, something strange happened: a few minutes later, the waitress came back and gave me 5 euros, saying they had miscalculated the bill which was definitely a nice gesture. I also liked that there was a small fenced-in play area for children. I had a fantastic peach flavored juice served in the cutest little pitcher. All in all, I have mixed feelings, but the dessert made up for everything in the end. We didn’t even know we would be getting one, but it was heavenly some kind of lemon cheesecake, I think. I can’t say exactly what it was, but it was so delicious that I completely forgot how much I didn’t enjoy my pasta.

Absolutely lovely place for a drink and some food. I really like how there are different seating areas for just drinks, food and they are separated into smoking and non smoking areas which is a nice touch. The ladies here work so hard and really take hospitality and service to the next level. Even when me and my family just came for drinks, we were given free slices of delicious frozen cheesecake which convinced us to come back for dinner later that day. It was delicious and we were once again given complimentary cheesecake, we honestly go back just for that it's that good. The food is fresh, there's plenty of variety and it's great value for money. My favourite thing was the squid appetiser, the best calamari I've ever had, so fresh and not chewy at all. My brother had these amazing stuffed vine leaves too which I'd recommend to anyone wanting to try something new. The atmosphere is brilliant, they play wonderful greek music and there are play areas to keep children entertained.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the food is just wonderful, you can tell it's made fresh to order and prepared with love. Everything here is very affordable, with cocktails around 6-7 euros all day! (Most places are 8 euros during happy hour) The tavern is beautiful as is it's surroundings and it is only a 5 minute walk from the beach, very convenient.

Oh my, this was a little gem on a side street. What a fab meal we had. The food is simply served on paper instead of plates such a fab idea as it saves on washing up and means the staff can serve more people more efficiently.

Upon arriving at the island, we stopped at Kalaphátēs, a restaurant with an aggressive owner who insisted on inviting us in. Hungry and pressed for time, we reluctantly accepted a table. We ordered basic dishes such as tzatziki, chicken souvlaki, pork, fried zucchini, and cheese. The food was average but nothing remarkable.
Read some really different reviews here. I’m guessing it’s a busy place in the evenings and the staff could be under pressure and get some things wrong. I also know some people are rude, impatient and feel entitled… I see it every holiday… My experience for a late lunch It was a beautiful location, wasn’t too busy at that time of the day, so we got served quickly and the food was excellent! Service was perfectly fine, engaged in some friendly chat with the staff and we had a lovely meal. I don’t know what some people except sometimes. If you want Michelin stars, put some nice clothes on and pay the price. If you want a decent meal in a relaxed atmosphere with your shorts and flips flops with some friendly banter, this place is more that well situated and suited 😎

I regret deeply not checking the reviews.. The food was very overpriced and mid. I ordered a Tuna steak after specifically asking the waiter if it could be cooked medium rare and if it came with potatoes. I got a carton-taste slice with a half of a boiled potato (i regret not taking a photo). Luckily, the waiter agreed to replace what i got with the dish i actually ordered. After a few minutes another waiter gave me a plate with something that was NOT tuna (third photo). Again, luckily i didn’t eat any of it until my waiter brought me my order. I will leave a photo with the 21€ “Medium-rare Tuna stake” with french fries. The waiters were chaotic and disorganized and the food was VERY overpriced… Please soameone tell the cook to stop overcooking the food as my friend ordered the Seafood Platter in which multiple items were overcooked/ burnt. I do not recommend this restaurabt for any one who wishes to eat good food for decent prices. 👎🏻

Pleasant enough - until you realise you’re being ripped off. Nice setting on the waters edge under the trees, and a la carte menu is not bad. However, beware the ‘catch of the day’ - priced at 70 euro /kg which is fine if you’re getting a portion of around 300g (which I found to be quite standard at most restaurants here and not bad at all). However they serve you about 150g of nice enough fish (one half a fish)- nothing spectacular (we ordered a single portion which I was led to believe would be 250g- grilled sea bream) - with a literal sprinkling of tasteless boiled carrot potato & courgette - and charge it at the price of 500g. You can see in the picture how small the portion is 😄. I commented on this when the bill came - and an argument between 2 staff ensued (in Greek so I wasn’t sure about what exactly) - and eventually wanting to just move on as I didn’t want anyone getting in trouble - I said no stress I’ll pay. However I wouldn’t go back or recommend this place that’s for sure.

After walking around Argostoli, around the coastline and round to the other side past the lighthouse, we saw this lovely restaurant by the sea so popped in for refreshments. If you are having a meal you get the tables with the best views, as we were having drinks only we could sit at any other tables. We decided to have a Greek Salad as well to take the edge off, and it was delicious, as I’m sure the rest of the food is here. The staff are very accommodating and the views are stunning. Unfortunately we were flying back the next day so could not sample the evening menu, but I’d say give it a shot.

Mediocre both for taste and attitude. They are betting on the position of the restaurant, tourists get in anyway kind of attitude and it's expensive too. Once you sit down, and order is placed, you are not relevant anymore. You need to have a big and expensive order to qualify for a free desert, a small pice of water melon, not everyone gets it. Kids were asking why we get no melon? Tough question to reply. Food had nothing to do with the description, service was poor and atmosphere not to mention. I would avoid this restaurant, definitely not recomend it to eat here.

I visited "Το Αρχοντικό" in Argostoli and had a solid dining experience. The atmosphere was pleasant, offering a traditional Greek feel that was nice and comfortable. The food was good, with fresh and authentic flavors that seemed to be prepared well. What stood out was the pricing. Compared to other restaurants on the island, the prices at "Το Αρχοντικό" were quite reasonable. The portion sizes were fair for what you paid, and it felt like a good value. If you're looking for a dependable meal that won't cost too much, this is a good option. I would recommend it.

The rudest staff we encountered in Greece. A man completely covered in sweat brought our drinks and when I said that I ordered the "homemade lemonade" not the Fanta Lemon, got upset. Then we saw pouring the "homemade lemonade" from a concentrate carton. He left the glass in the table in a very rude way. We ordered olives and bread as starter and the olives were shrivelled and bitter. The bread was sliced bread, like for making toast. I ordered pasta a la greca with feta cheese, and they forgot the cheese. The taste was ok. Rude staff and expensive food for what it is. Tourist trap.

The service was very poor. The owners seem friendly at first glance but once you’re sat down, they pay no attention to you if there’s a bigger group or table around (especially if you’re not a local or Greek). The food was mediocre at best; DO NOT BUY THE BURGER! You won’t get a bun or lettuce or cheese, it will just be a beef patty on a plate with chips. If you are going to order something, order the Exohiko (this was actually very nice and very traditional dish). The ambience was nice on the plaza/strip, and the restaurant decor match a traditional Greek theme, but the other aspects really let the place down

Italian restaurant
La Gondola is a restaurant in Argostoli that offers authentic Italian cuisine. Visitors recommend trying the carbonara linguine and pasta with shrimps and mussels, noting that the pasta is not overcooked like in other restaurants. The salads are also a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is known for its handmade pastas, such as fusili pollo and risotto with truffles, which are described as absolutely delicious.
We found this fantastic restaurant in the square in Argostoli on our first day and it was so good that we went back a second time! On our first visit, we had the pork belly and beef pasta. The food was exceptional, prompting us to return for more. During our second visit, we started with some delicious garlic bread. My girlfriend couldn't resist having the beef pasta again, declaring it the best pasta she had ever had. I opted for the steak this time, and it did not disappoint. Both meals were outstanding. We also enjoyed some nice cocktails, which added to the experience. The dining chairs were really comfortable, and being in the square provided a great view to watch the world go by. The staff were great, contributing to the wonderful dining experience. If you're in Argostoli, this restaurant is a must-visit

I am not sure why this place has 3.6 stars, the waitress we had multiple times was extremely sweet, even keeping our beers cold as we were going to the beach after. We are from America, where the pizza is great, and the pizza here is pretty darn good. We must have had it close to 5 times on this trip. Cheap and delicious, this place deserves better reviews!

The worst service I have ever had in Kefalonia- in the last 15 years of coming to the island! Stopped to have a drink at 2PM in the afternoon - to an almost empty restaurant. When we were asked if we were ordering food, we said just a couple of drinks for now - we were asked to move tables as this table was set up for food. Just because we were sitting at a table with more comfortable chairs than the ones they said we could sit at. Absolute disgrace.

Decent food, but our first two options in the menu were not available. The waitress looks tired, which is not a surprise since she was the only one covering all table during lunch. The restaurant is good and offers both Italian and Greek food, making easier to accommodate when travelling with more people.

Paparazzi Pizzeria - Italian Restaurant is a delightful gem that promises an authentic Italian dining experience. Guests rave about the incredible flavors of dishes like beef tagliata and prosciutto funghi pizza, complemented by a selection of good wines. While the food is undeniably delicious, some patrons have noted longer wait times for their meals, suggesting that additional staff could enhance service efficiency. The restaurant boasts a pet-friendly atmosphere with a charming garden setting, making it perfect for casual dining or takeaway options.
Our Airbnb host recommended a lovely Italian restaurant called Paparazzi Pizzeria, and it was the perfect change after a week of delicious Greek food. The setting was beautiful, and the restaurant itself was really lovely. We started with the mussels, which were the best and biggest I've ever had. For the main course, we enjoyed two wonderful pizzas that hit the spot perfectly after a day on the boat. The staff were amazing and friendly, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Paparazzi Pizzeria for anyone craving authentic Italian food in a stunning setting!

A hidden gem! Tired and hungry after a day trip to Lixouri we ducked out of the main square on a side street, and smelled delicious garlicky flavours from this restaurant. It was late(ish) nearly 10pm and the menu, service and prices were spot on. The Napoli pizza was huge (brought half home with me) and the Prawn linguine was amazing, large and tender, with heads on, but shelled bodies. The rocket and parmesan salad as a side was fresh and plentiful. The waiters were polite and attentive, with a great courtesy and weren't overly fussy. Perfect for a quiet meal for 2 after a busy day sightseeing. They happily rang us a taxi to get back to our hotel in Lassi, checking outside to see it had arrived before bidding us farewell. Would definitely recommend 👍🏻

There's also a wide variety of fish on the menu, making it a great choice for anyone looking for something different. In addition to seafood, Kyani Akti also offers traditional Greek meals which are perfect for those who want something more than just fish.
Beautiful place to sit and have a meal or drink. We just had a drink but they brought us some lovely bread and olive oil. The food that was coming out looked amazing. They have a wide variety of fish on the menu as well as traditional meals. Enjoy the beautiful view with a lovely atmosphere and Greek music. Definitely worth a visit. But just one thing .. please don’t moan that you have to pay for the bread, that is normal!

Ok, I don't know why this place has such a low Google rating so I'm going to write this in a bid to change that. We were recommended this place by locals and were not disappointed. The location is amazing - breezy and cool in the heat, with lovely blue water lapping underneath while you enjoy local fresh fish - oysters, octopus, grilled bream - amazing. Not the cheapest, but absolutely worth it for the quality of the good, the friendly service, and the beautiful atmosphere. Also we received a free dessert and liqueur. What's not to like? Don't be a dummy and pass up on this place.

Stopped here for a quick drink with a beautiful view from the decking. The board at the entrance offers fresh juices and milkshakes, but we were only given a wine menu with pricey full bottles.

First thing: go there only if you have time and you are relaxed. It’s very popular and busy. We have been twice in a week both times in the evening, once at the beginning of service (~ 7:30 pm) and once towards the end (after 10 pm). Both times without reservations and we got a table without waiting. The owner is a very characterful person, funny and helpful, but be prepared to be interrupted when ordering as he wanders off to talk to someone else. Don’t worry he will come back 🙂. Now for the food: this is the place to eat fresh fish. We had various carpaccios and ceviches, all delicious. Their crab salad is a must. The rest of the fish options, fried or grilled, are all valid. We tried fried calamari (fresh, exceptionally soft and not at all rubbery- something very rare) and grilled squid (very flavoursome). Very few items are from frozen on the menu so it was easy to avoid them. Desserts are also homemade and delicious. On our last night we were lucky enough to be seated on the farthest table very close to the sea and we were greeted by a sea turtle foraging for its dinner and swimming happy in the water near us.

Wow, this place is amazing. Food was exceptional as was the service & presentation. Location really lovely - top end of Argostoli near where the larger cruise ships and motor cruisers berth.

We had the home made lobster ravioli which was stunning, well worth a visit.

Οίνοψ wine bar restaurant is regarded as the top establishment on the Island, offering an elevated Greek cuisine that showcases fresh ingredients and exquisite presentation.

Despite having experienced various renowned restaurants across Greece, including multiple visits to Athens and over 6 Greek Islands, Οίνοψ wine bar restaurant ranks among the finest culinary experiences in the country.
Saw a number of reviews that were really high, and I absolutely agree. One thing missing from the other reviews; where they mention the value; is that we ate until our clothes were tights, and had 3 glasses of wine each and still came up under some of the other satisfied reviewers in terms of cost. So I have to assume the others tried to give 6 stars and couldn't.

The service is excellent! Very precise recommendations. The menu is good, we ordered starters, main dishes and all the desserts. All was tasty just with slight flaws: for example waiter offered us to choose level of steak and burger doneness, and it was a bit overdone. But not that critical to say that is was untasty but could be better. It’s still one of the best restaurants on the island. Perfect if you are looking for a bit fancy dining for the date.

Another couple that we met at breakfast recommended this restaurant, so we thought we'd give it a try. We were blown away! A lot of the dishes are based on traditional Greek dishes, but they have been elevated to gourmet status. We had the octopus capaccio, which was the best octopus dish we've had in two weeks in Greece. The mains and desserts were equally as good. Our waiter was very helpful and happy to chat about the island (it was still quite early), he also recommended a very good local wine.

This restaurant, TAVERNA PATSOURAS, is a charming establishment located close to the city center. It offers a delightful selection of traditional Greek dishes that are prepared with care and attention. The owners, a young couple who serve the customers themselves, are friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and reminds one of homemade recipes passed down through generations. A standout dish is the Melanzane imam, but other recommended options include Mousaka, Pastitsio, and sea bream.
My wife discovered this place when researching Kefalonia and we said we’d try it at some point although hadn’t planned to this evening. We arrived around 8.30pm - on a Monday evening out of season, it was quiet but still a few tables busy outside. So there is a menu but they quickly come out and tell you what is left and what isn’t. They will also invite you inside to see what is left - this is homemade cooking which is done during the day and then heated to order. When it’s done it’s done!! We ordered what we thought was sensible but it turned out we ordered too much! No complaints though, it was great and we loved everything. It’s super relaxed, charming, low-key, friendly … and hearty, tasty food. And the price, wow, talk about value for money. We had the spicy cheese to start and then had stuffed peppers, giant beans and pasticcio as a main. They were all great. No doubt we’d happily go there again when we’re back!

This was our first experience of Greek food in Argostoli, and what a good start! The food is rustic, plentiful and fresh, with a small menu of authentic Greek cuisine and a warm welcome. The area in front is having work done so it looks a bit of a dump, but I was too busy looking at my other half’s happy mush to notice. We had a Greek salad, roast chicken with potatoes and the Moussaka. My only quibble was that the red wine was chilled, that’s just odd for me but we rolled with it and it was still lovely, €4 for half a carafe you can’t complain! They had an issue with the card machine on the day we went so luckily we had cash on us. Will definitely be back.

This is my fourth summer in Cephalonia, and I regret not discovering this restaurant sooner. The quality of the food was outstanding, including the appetizer which was served impeccably. The establishment itself had a charming ambiance with tasteful decor and cleanliness.
I stayed in kefalonia for a week and this was by far the best spot I had eaten! I couldn’t resist, we kept coming back for more. The food was amazing and the portion sizes were generous, we left very happy every time. The staff was so great! So kind and welcoming, they made our stay on the island comfortable and enjoyable. Something we loved about this restaurant was the decor and view. It was magical, like no other! If you come to kefalonia I recommend this place 10/10.

It was a terrible pizza we have ever eaten. The dough was probably for a bread, not pizza and it was not baked well. Unfortunately we had to finish our meal because we were really hungry. They served a few olives and olive oil as appetizer but even though we haven’t touched it, the waiter tried to charge us for extra 4 euro. I told him to exclude it from the check and then he switched to Greek and became annoying. We are unhappy to be closing off our one week great vacation in Kefalonia with a bad food experience.

Avoid, tourist trap. Was charged for bread, olives and water which we didn’t ask for but were put on the table when we arrived. Weren’t even given a drinks menu as the bartender was hungover so didn’t show up. Food was unseasoned, flavourless and bits of veg in the Mediterranean spaghetti were tiny and looked like they could’ve been from frozen, yet expensive. Had to wait 15 mins after asking for the bill as they didn’t have card receipt paper, they didn’t tell us this either. They ignored us and we noticed a member of staff leaving and returning with it. Wasn’t actually given a bill either, first time seeing the price was when I was presented with the card reader and it was more than we expected. Only thing going for it is the location, definitely avoid.

This is a nice little place just above the main beach in Lassi, with a lovely view of the sea and a welcome breeze – especially handy in the heat. It’s a casual spot, ideal for a light lunch. We visited twice – once during the lunchtime rush and once later in the day – and although the staff were friendly, the service wasn’t great either time. You do have to make the effort to get someone’s attention, which can get a bit frustrating. When the food came we did ask to order an additional bread and the waitress looked visibly annoyed, which wasn’t a great impression, but understand that they are probably a little overwhelmed. The food was good – I had some bits to pick at, while the rest of the family had a beef burger and a Greek salad. My sister couldn’t finish her burger, and they kindly offered a takeaway box so she could have the rest later, which was a nice touch. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the location. All in all, a good, accessible spot for a laid-back lunch with great views.

A Slice of Paradise and Authenticity: We finally made it to The Makris Yialos by George, and we're thrilled to say it was absolutely worth it! Despite an initial detour caused by a taxi driver who, apparently, has the inexplicable habit of taking customers to "Costa Costa," our perseverance was amply rewarded. George himself confirmed that unfortunately, we aren't the first to encounter this inconvenience, which further solidifies our satisfaction at finally finding the right place. Authentic Welcome and Atmosphere The atmosphere here is exactly what we were looking for: spartan, genuine, and with a warm, family-like welcome. You immediately sense the authenticity of the place, far from tourist traps. It's not about luxury here, but the feeling of being in a true piece of Greece, run with passion. The availability of an umbrella and two chairs was a delightful extra touch, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of the spot. Simple, Yet Exquisite Cuisine And then there's the food! The cuisine is decidedly homemade, a hymn to true flavors and simplicity. We finally got to try the much-desired grilled octopus, and it exceeded expectations: it was incredibly tender and wonderfully flavorful, a true delight for the palate. It's clear that here, the freshness of ingredients and a love for tradition come first. A Charming Place to Recommend All in all, The Makris Yialos by George is a charming place we highly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic experience, away from the hustle and bustle and pretensions. If you manage to overcome any taxi detours, you'll be rewarded with a peaceful corner, excellent food, and true Greek hospitality. We'll definitely be back!

If you're exploring the stunning island of Kefalonia, a visit to Katavothres Club Restaurant is a must. Nestled near the captivating natural phenomenon where seawater disappears into underground sinkholes, this venue offers not just delicious Mediterranean cuisine but also an energetic nightlife scene with live DJs.
Amazing place with great food, great view and a great host ( thank you Christos (Χρίστος) for the great suggestions in wine and food ) From all the places i've eaten shrimp linguini during our 3 weeks in Greece, this was the best one! Best way to end our final day in Greece. Thank you

A truly beautiful spot by the sea, with a stunning view and a charming old windmill that gives the place a unique touch. The food was delicious and worth the wait, even if service was a bit slow. The staff was very polite and even let enjoy my meal on the lounge sofas, which made the experience more relaxed and enjoyable. The only real disappointment was the party that had been announced for 1 AM, also promoted on social media — unfortunately, it never happened and there was no explanation. Still, the atmosphere and the quality of the food made up for it.

The negative reviews are, in my opinion, unfair. We ate dinner one evening here to watch the sun go down. It wasn't busy at all, so the atmosphere was maybe a little subdued. No wait for a table and we seated right by the open gkass doors overlooking the sea. The service was good, polite, attentive but not "in your face". All portions were a good size, the arincini with roquefort cheese in " angel hair" fine pasta strands partially so. For mains, rolled chicken with shrimp and the pork tenderloin. Both well presented and cooked just right. No deserts as we were full, but the coffee was good. Wine reasonably priced for the type of establishment it is aiming to be. It's a drive or taxi out from Argostoli but easy enough to find. Overall, it was a good dining experience, not the cheapest in Argostoli, but if you just want your standard Greek fayre, it's not for you.

the place is nice, on the water, cool athmosphere, food is also not bad, a little overpriced due to the location. however the service could really use some improvement, as the waiters and the staff are not the happiest people on the planet. plates were not descrived and badly explained in english. if you want to treat yourself do, but dont get too large expectations on the service, come for the food not for the service.

We were a group of 13 and waited over two hours before any food arrived. When my tuna finally came, it was completely raw — and not in a good “sushi” way, just undercooked and inedible. When I politely mentioned it to the waiter, his response was rude, dismissive, and downright unpleasant. Between the endless wait, poorly prepared food, and hostile service, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. I would strongly advise avoiding this place at all costs.

There was quite the thunderstorm (and a power-out) when we visited this lovely town. Power was back about an hour later, but it was still raining, so we took a table inside. This place is located just at the Pl. Vallianou, not far from the Lithostroto Walking Street. The menu had some really interesting items...including goat stew. But we played it a bit safe and ordered fried calamari and stuffed veggies (bell pepper and tomato), some beer with that. Prices more than fair. Both items were really good choices. The calamari nice, crispy...and fresh. Not the cheap frozen calamari rings you get in your supermarket. The stuffed veggies were great as well. Rice perfectly cooked, the veggies nice and juicy....full of flavours with these greek spices. Good stuff! They really can cook here. And the staff was really nice and friendly. After enjoying this meal so much, next time we WILL try the goat stew then. We'll be back.

Here’s a revised version of your review with improved clarity and tone, while maintaining the original sentiment: ⸻ I ordered a chicken fillet meal, and while the price of €12.50 seemed reasonable, the experience was disappointing. The portion size was noticeably smaller compared to what I’ve been served elsewhere during my travels over the past two weeks. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was poor. The fries were soggy, and the salad didn’t seem fresh. The chicken fillet itself was the biggest letdown — it appeared undercooked or possibly of poor quality, with odd red, string-like bits throughout. It looked unsafe to eat, so I ended up leaving most of it. The flavor was bland, and the texture dry. Overall, it was not an enjoyable meal.

We only spent one evening in Argostoli. On the main square, children were performing something, which gave the place a really lovely atmosphere although it was surprisingly busy for a weekday night. We were set on having pizza, so we walked around checking out the nearby restaurants. One thing I personally didn’t like was how the hostesses constantly tried to invite us into their restaurants. They were absolutely polite and friendly, but I found it a bit too much – I prefer choosing without pressure. Eventually, we ended up at the place where the lady was the most persistent. The pizza was large – I’ve definitely had better, but overall I was satisfied. We couldn’t finish it all, so the waiters gave us a box, and we packed up the leftovers ourselves. I had a Mexican pizza – it was tasty, although it didn’t have any beans on it and that sausage was strange but not bad.

A wide variety of beer and good service, these are the pros of this place. Sandwiches weren't good, the bread was old and dry, whatever you put in them doesn't matter. The crispy sandwich was a big disappointment. Chicken nuggets are most likely frozen and simply fried. I basically only felt the dry bread. Prices are quite high for this quality of food.

The food was ok, not bad but also not amazing. The waiter asked us a lot of times whether we wanted to eat there or not (we always said yes but he kept on asking again and again within a span of 5-10 minutes).

Located right by the harbor, Psitopolio Megas offers a variety of delectable vegan options such as gyros with fries, falafel with hummus, and pita.

We went to Olea Kouzinaki on the last night of our stay in Kefalonia and it certainly delivered a special meal and evening. The seating is outdoor and although they do their best to screen customers from the prevailing breeze, it was definitely a bit chilly in late October. Even so, the view down into Argostoli and the lagoon was breathtaking. With it being out of season, it is inevitably quiet and we were one of three couples during the time we were there. That said, it was still a pleasant ambience. The service was lovely and helpful, the menu varied. We had the bread and then saganaki to start - the saganaki was the best I had on our stay in Kefalonia. As a main meal we both had the pork cheek with a side of green beans. The pork was just magnificent - crumbled on the fork and flavours were divine. It is really good food - more expensive than typical Argostoli prices but the meal was definitely more high-end than some we had on our trip. All in all, really enjoyed the evening. Great food, good service, exquisite views.

PAN NIK, located in Argostoli Square, offers exceptional food and service. Customers rave about the chicken ceaser salad, halloumi, and Taziki, all of which are delicious. The menu also includes chicken skewers with chips, baked cheese, and various Greek starters that are mouthwatering. The portions are generous for their affordable prices. The atmosphere in the square adds to the overall dining experience.
Roll up if you're a carnivore. The food is heaped high, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. We had the meat assortment, a bargain at €26 for two, as was the wine at €8 a litre. Superb service and a bustling square in front of us made for a special and atmospheric evening to remember.

My options were a friend vegetable burger, pizza, salad or various dips. Luckily I eat cheese and I ordered the pizza. It was homemade and I topped it with mushrooms, tomato and onions. We sat outside under the shade and enjoyed the scene. Kids on bikes and tourists strolling past. I highly recommend for meat eaters.

The table service was great as was the food. However, when we went to pay we asked if we could pay separately. The waiter told us, no problem, if we head up to the counter we can pay separately. When we got there we were confronted with a very small angry man who we assumed was the manager or owner. We asked to split the bill and he aggressively told us no as if we had already asked this repeatedly, although it was our first time. We explained that we were told we would be able to but our comments were met with ignorance and frustration. One member of our group paid the bill and when he received his change the man smacked the money down on the counter in anger and didn’t thank us for coming or wish us a good night. Would love to go back for the food but refuse to benefit a person with this much arrogance and disrespect.

Terre Mouikis Restaurant in Argostoli is a hidden gem with an earthy and classy atmosphere. The hostess welcomes guests like family, and the attentive servers ensure no detail is missed. The food is made with quality ingredients, and dishes like cuttlefish with foraged greens are highly recommended. The inside garden offers a private and calm atmosphere, while the wild mushrooms starter and the meat and seafood dishes are described as amazing. The margarita cocktail also receives praise.
Amazing food, good atmosphere and music, kind and attentive servers and bartenders. The drinks were very tasteful and some of the best I have ever had, try the Apple Bloom or Espresso Martini. Would highly recommend for a fine dining option.

We had dinner there with my husband and 1 year old girl. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, very professional. I really liked the bread and butter they brought us to start with. Then we ordered a spread with truffle and mushrooms which was also really nice. In the photos are our mains. We waited too long for them. I loved my risotto with mussels, my husband said that his rabbit was fine but nothing extraordinary. Overall a very good experience.

Terre Mouikis Restaurant was an absolute delight from the assorted seafood appetizer to the watermelon and feta salad. 🍉 Moving through the main courses of sea bass and seafood risotto. 😋 Finally ending the evening of cocktails and wine.🍷 Pistacchio sponge cake, yogurt and pistacchio ice cream on the bed of bee pollen. 🐝 The staff were a delight, cordial and accommodating. Wine list was excellent!

In summary: a great place! Fantastic menu, delicious food, attentive (just right) service, knowledgeable sommelier. By far the best place we have had dinner in Kefalonia. And we did that twice so far. If you want to try the best of Greek cuisine, go for the degustation menu. Alternatively a la cart offers anything you wish for: made by a fist class chef - who definitely respects the taste of Kefalonia and adds a creative modern twist. We are fans! Well done Terre team!

Amazing restaurant, amazing authentic food with a unique twist, amazing drinks and even better service. Our server Marilena was so kind, attentive and her love for her job really stood out. This is the perfect date night restaurant. I love the little courtyard where we sat, it’s so cozy, intimate and romantic. We loved this restaurant on our amazing trip in Kefalonia! We will be back for sure!

5 stars all around. The people and atmosphere were amazing. All dishes we ordered were delicious. My favorite would be the ribeye the flavors were unreal and my favorite desert was the banoffee pie, it had chocolate biscuit, banana ice cream and dulce de leche foam. The drinks as well were 10/10 and we kept coming back just to sit at the bar!

We visited today after searching for a more “up market” dining experience in Kefalonia. Let me start by saying that what you’ll get / how you’ll rate it depends on what your expectations are. If you’re looking for a fine dining experience on par with Michelin or aspiring Michelin star restaurants, unfortunately it falls a bit short. If you’re looking for tasty food, well presented and with a bit of a twist, you won’t be disappointed. So 3 stars for fine dining but 5 stars for a more upmarket experience. More specifically, the food was great but there were the little attention to detail things that make the difference between Michelin star and not. For example the watermelon salad had pips in the watermelon. In a Michelin star restaurant I’d expect that these are removed. Service was OK and they are all super friendly and trying their best but ideally they need a bit more training. For example the waiter did not refill our glasses with water, which again I’d expect to be done. They forgot to bring over a set of spoons as promised to serve our starters between us. Which is fine, no big deal but equally it can be made a bit better to hit fine dining expectations. Similarly the mains were way late - we waited close to 45 minutes between starters arriving and mains being served. Again not ideal and indicates that the kitchen is not running like clockwork. If, on the other hand you’re expecting great tasty food with excellent presentation you won’t be disappointed. But it needs a bit more work to go up there and meet fine dining expectations. I really hope the above are taken onboard as this place has a lot of potential. The food was great, the waiters super friendly, the ambiance excellent. Just a bit more attention to detail and it can be truly great!

We had the degustation menu and it was ok, bit not in relation to the price and definitely not Michelin star niveau. Quite a lot if dishes contained Feta and therefor a unique flavor. The staff and ambiente was nice, but it was far too expensive for this menu.

Tratamento Cafe Bar offers a fantastic experience with its breathtaking location and mesmerizing sunset. The service provided by the friendly staff is impeccable, and the food served is delightful, especially the steamed mussels infused with saffron. The prices are reasonable for what is offered, making it highly recommended. Additionally, this beautiful place provides a stunning view and a pleasant atmosphere where you can enjoy great food and wine while overlooking the sea at local beach St Thomas.
This became ‘our’ restaurant… we deviated once and regretted it. For lunch during a day at the beach, you cannot go wrong. The beach itself is fabulous with the most azure blue water and plenty of things to explore. The food itself is not Michelin star worthy but if we could give a Michelin star for service and personality we would. Quite frankly, if we came back to Kefalonia we would revisit - thanks kids, you made our week. Ps. “Must try the boiled greens” says James IYKYK

The place is amazing, the views are perfect!!! If you have the possibility of watching the rise of a full moon, do it! It’s phantastic!! The food is also very good! The only problem here is the waiter (the one we found in the evening). He is truly rude. Incredibly unfriendly, unhelpful, and out of place with the wonderful scene that is the rest.

Stayed at the beach. Man who hires the sunbeds is absolutely wonderful 😊 so friendly too, But unfortunately the 2 men at the bar were not friendly, we was told to sit at a table, but 2 young ladies walked in and sat down, and was given menus straight away, we waited and was totally ignored. It wasn't even busy, so we decided to walk away, it's a shame as we had to go elsewhere on our scooter to collect refreshments for our time on the beach

I don't recommend it for any reason in the world. I waited 2 hours in that bar waiting for the food ordered without even having the right drinks: instead of 2 pepsi they gave us 1 when we requested it again after 30 minutes they didn't bring it back only after another half hour they gave it to us. I ordered a simple cheeseburger and 2 brushette with tomato and feta, dishes that take 10 minutes of preparation, instead we arrived there at 2 pm we left at 4 pm. The place is nice with a nice view, but the prices are high and the service is very slow

The spot is perfect - what a lovely little cove Agios Thomas is (if a little crowded). Didn't eat, bottled beer was cold and tasty but predictably pricey. Differing attitudes from bar staff. One was super, the other acted like he couldn't be arsed and took 2-3 times of asking before he looked up from his phone each time. Shame really.
Paul C — Google review
first impressions are good. But then I had the feeling that I was deceived. The waiters are rude and arrogant. I will list all the evidence below.We asked what "fish of the day" (the price for which was not indicated) in the end we paid 36 euros only for it. In other places, this fish is worth 16 euros. Below I will put a photo that shows the price of everything (despite the fact that we left hungry from there). Avoid this institution, it is better to go to the tavern opposite there, the rating is better, although they only work up to 16 ° °. And in general, use the rating system it might come in handy

Top Spot 🫶 We had lunch here and didn’t see a single other tourist around. You sit right by the harbour, and the atmosphere is absolutely stunning. The salads and the appetizer dip were excellent. Prices are a bit on the higher side – but considering the quality of the food, the presentation, and the overall vibe, it’s absolutely worth it. Enjoy!🤤

I stumbled upon a hidden gem, a restaurant that felt like it was plucked from a serene, winding alley in Greek. It's nestled in a beautiful, stone-paved courtyard, where few trees and create a peaceful and intimate atmosphere. The simple tables and comfortable chairs perfectly complement the rustic setting. The entire vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the rich aromas of authentic Greek cooking hang in the air. We arrived as the sun was beginning its slow descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the whole space. The place was bustling with locals and visitors, which only added to the lively and joyous feel. Our waiter approached with a genuine smile and immediately recommended the grilled pork gyros on a skewer, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The skewer was packed with juicy, tender chunks of pork gyros, grilled to perfection, and served alongside roasted tomatoes, red onion, and fresh pita bread. Every single bite was a celebration of flavor. It was a simple dish, but executed with a mastery that proved there's nothing better than fresh, honest food. If you're looking for a tranquil and charming spot with authentic Greek food made with love, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

The Hidden Garden restaurant in Kefalonia is everything I had fantasised about while dreaming about our escape to Kefalonia. Walking into the restaurant it’s immediately clear you’ve found something special. Hass and Stephen, truly made our visit unforgettable with their attentive service, warm and friendly humour and diligence. Hass’s friendly service, unique humour and quick wit combined perfectly with Stephen’s expert management — it’s clear they both care deeply about every guest’s experience. The atmosphere is relaxing and embraces you, it’s the perfect restaurant to relax and enjoy the best food in Kefalonia. Every dish we tried had so much flavour, clearly crafted with passion and quality ingredients. The best meat in Kefalonia, the best restaurant in Kefalonia, the best meal in Kefalonia.

Omg! How Amazing the food is here. I had to travel to Argostoli to find the best authentic Greek slow-cooked rotisserie meat grills and over the coals bbq - better than Athens or Melbourne Australia! Succulent and juicy meats slow grilled to perfection, with simple traditional sides of A1 ingredients with produce-driven flavours - tomatoes like you’ve never tasted before!

The food was lush - so tasty. and great portion sizes. All freshly made and marinated everyday. We’d seen it on instagram and it didn’t disappoint. It’s run by an Aussie family with Greek heritage. So cooking on the grill couldn’t be any more perfect. The salads were truly amazing. The atmosphere was truly Greek in style. Very cosy. Fun, casual vibes. (If I could make one suggestion it would be to upgrade the toilets.) you won’t regret an evening at the hidden garden IMHO.

If you’re searching for the best traditional Greek style BBQ you’ve found it at Hidden Garden. We spent a month travelling around Greece and this was by far the best restaurant we ate at. Not only in Kefalonia but in all of Greece. We kept returning and ate here 4 out of the 7 nights we stayed in Argostoli. The lamb and pork was some of the most succulent and delicious meat we’ve ever eaten. The restaurant is family owned and operated, the staff are super friendly and make the overall experience even more enjoyable. This is a must visit if you’re in Kefalonia.

My main dish, “Goat boiled” with potatoes, carrots, romesco sauce, and goat yogurt-herb sauce, was a true culinary delight – beautifully presented and incredibly tender.

A very nice restaurant in Kefalonia. Very professional and friendly staff, beautiful garden. You can feel in every plate chef’s special touch. As starter I had beetroot salad, which is very delicate&good combination taste. After I had octopus, which is d another chef’s signature, you can feel orange taste(but not overwhelming). As dessert I had portokalapito, very tasty but in my opinion it’s for 2 person to share because it’s very sweet 🤭

An Unforgettable Culinary Experience - The Best in Kefalonia! We dined at several lovely restaurants in Kefalonia, but Nia was unquestionably the best. We enjoyed it so much that we returned a second time for their tango night, which created a truly magical and memorable atmosphere. The food was nothing short of exceptional. We were delighted by their innovative and "prototype" salads, particularly the unique combination of grapes and cucumber and the wonderfully crafted carrot salad. A standout was the cheese from Ithaca served with homemade mandarin jam from their own garden—a delicious and perfect pairing. For our main courses, we were equally impressed. The keto lasagne was incredibly enjoyable, and the dish with the veal liver was cooked to perfection. It's rare to find a restaurant that combines such creativity with flawless execution. Nia offers a perfect blend of incredible food, a unique ambiance, and what seems to be a genuine passion for providing a top-tier dining experience. We cannot recommend it highly enough and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you Nia! Thank you Makis! PS. Your fig dessert is delicious, many thanks dear Nia!
