Madisons is a trendy and atmospheric restaurant located on the promenade along the sea in Zakynthos town. It offers stunning views of the bay and a bustling atmosphere. The chic terrace provides perfect sunset views, while the drinks menu features a curated selection of international and Greek wines. Whether it's breakfast, brunch, or dinner, Madisons Kitchen-Bar-Cafe has an extensive menu with options for every night of the week.
I visited this place in 2 occasions. Once for brunch and once for a cocktail in the night. In both occasions the quality and service were excellent.
For brunch the portions were actually huge. This didn’t remove anything from the quality though which was also really good. It had a nice variety for brunch options, so I think everyone can find something they would like.
Regarding cocktails, besides the classic one (which it also provides) it also provided its signature ones. Both me and my friends, we took different choices and we all liked them a lot.
I would really recommend this to anyone

We passed by this place and decided to sit down because it was busy and beautifully located by the water. We ordered pasta and had to wait 30 minutes, which usually is a good sign — long wait often means freshly prepared food and good quality. Unfortunately, that was not the case here.
We’ve had pasta at 3–4 other places during our stay, including beachside spots, and this was by far the worst experience. The pasta lacked flavor and felt poorly prepared.
A piece of advice: please train your staff to at least check in with guests during or after the meal to ask if everything is okay. It’s such a simple step that allows you to receive honest feedback and improve your service and quality.
It seemed like the nicest place in the area, but we had mixed feelings about going because of some low reviews. Still, it turned out to be the best decision. Everything was absolutely perfect, the food, the staff, the atmosphere. Plus, everything looks so aesthetic and beautiful in the evening.
When we were on vacation, we visited this restaurant twice and it was amazing! The food and the drinks were fantastic, full of flavour. The servers were great, especially our server, Joanna wich is an excellent girl!
The vibe is also great!
I truly recommend this restaurant!
Oh, the risotto. Creamy, hot, and perfectly tender - it didn't just melt in my mouth, it dissolved like a slow sigh. Each bite slid across my tongue with the softness of a lover's touch, rich and velvety, leaving behind a lingering warmth that made me close my eyes and breathe deeper.
The way the flavors unfolded - subtle at first, then deeper, bolder, almost indecent in their intensity - felt like foreplay on a plate. I found myself slowing down, savoring every spoonful like a secret I didn't want to end.
By the last bite, I wasn't sure whether I'd eaten dinner or been seduced. Either way, I left completely satisfied... and just a little breathless.
Great friendly service, AMAZING food! I had the peanut butter French toast and my husband had the red velvet pancakes. Both delicious :) Would highly recommend!
Ive never had worse food. Let me start by saying that we waited 15 minutes for service and when we finally ordered pancakes and tortilla we were wainting for 40 minutes straight, the tortilla came burnt as hell and wasnt even tasty and the filling in tortila was also really bad. I dont recommend
Sheltered from a storm but what a great choice....lovely staff, huge portions of food...would love to come back on a sunny day / evening

The restaurant is known for its popular brunch and delicious feta in an oat crust, along with a variety of excellent Greek pasta dishes and succulent chops for dinner. The staff is friendly and passionate about explaining local dishes. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy flavorful food in a charming setting.
Giota The food at this restaurant was absolutely delicious — every bite was full of flavor and made with love. At the end of our meal, the chef herself came out to greet us. Not only was she kind and welcoming, but also stunningly beautiful and full of good energy. Her warmth truly elevated the entire experience. I’m beyond satisfied and I know for sure that when I return to Greece, I’ll come back here without a doubt. Highly recommended! ❤️

A wonderful meal… a delightful spot with attentive staff and beautiful decor (we sat inside with the retractable roof pulled back). My wife (vegan) was very appreciative of the second vegan/veggie menu … the portions were fabulous… so much so we ended up taking food home. There was no way we were leaving any !! The staff were friendly and the music up to date but nicely in the background. To cap it all the prices were very reasonable… Highly recommend.
Best restaurant you will find on a island.
Great Owner/Chef is always at the place asking how you lime everything.
High end quality. Extra good taste.
Highly recommend to try potato nest and shrimp “milfey” (i really cant spell it right 😁😁😁)
Baklava is amazing. Its not what you expect to see when you hear “baklava” and its worth every penny.
Cocktails are great. Its great place to drink regarding quality/price compared.
We forgot a cap during first visit. And get back in a two days.
Must visit for all!
What a gem! We weren’t sure what to try and the lovely chef and owner, Yiota, took such wonderful care in pointing out which dishes were in season and also some of her favourites she thought we’d like. Everything was delicious - special shoutout to the zucchini balls and the best Greek salad I’ve ever had - and the atmosphere was charming. I look forward to going back one day.
Lovely, pretty place with lots of seating and fans to keep you cool. We went for lunch and were greeted by the bar man who was so friendly. He makes the drinks fresh at the bar in front of you. I had the homemade lemonade and I highly recommend it, it was so refreshing. The chef brought out our food and was so friendly too. Cooked it to perfection & was so proud of her work which we loved to see. We both had a fish dish. It’s worth a visit it won’t disappoint 💞
Thank you for the amazing dinner and hospitality. I arrived alone and was immediately seated. I was given water and able to order a cocktail. The food was highly recommended and was amazing. This is my second time here. The owner is outgoing, friendly and fabulous. I observed her walk around to each table talking to her customers. Staff were very friendly and went out of their way to please everyone. When in Zakynthos, Yard of Taste, is a must!!
You’ve got to try the traditional Greek and Zakynthonian dishes, but the local fusion food is just as exciting.
The staff were polite, attentive, and made us feel welcome.
We ordered the lamb and red snapper — both served with sauces that burst with flavour. We got curious about what was in them, and the chef was happy to share the ingredients. The bitter mousse was equally good.
Portions were just right, and overall, the food and ambience made it well worth the price.
The Yard of Taste is definitely a lively and vibrant place. Definitely a place worth trying when you are in the neighborhood.
Food: We had several appetizers e.g. smoked beef tartar, tarama and ceviche. It was all very good and tasty especially the ceviche. It would have been amazing if it had a touch of spice to uplift the acidity in the dish, but still it was very tasty.
The main courses were all very tasty and the waiter explained the dishes very precisely, which was highly appreciated.
Service:
The waiter was very friendly and attentive. They were very quick to serve drinks as well and the drink recommendations were on point.
Ambiente looks coherent and it does look nice. However for the price point I think it could be a bit nicer, but that's very subjective to my taste of course.
Overall it was a great dinner and you can't do anything wrong here.

Taverna Keri is a popular spot in Keri Beach, open throughout the summer for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It offers a relaxing seaside dining experience with views of Marathonissi island. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is consistently good. The upstairs area provides great views over the bay, although it can get quite crowded. The restaurant's location makes it convenient for visitors exploring Keri caves and Marathonisi island.
Staff were friendly from the beginning, as soon as you walk through the door. The tavern is right by the sea and has great views! The food was amazing! And don’t skip ordering their fresh orange juice! Perfect for this weather!
Grecia V — Google review
Beautiful taverna with a stunning view, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. Everyone was being attacked by mosquitoes because there's a stagnant water next door, and a regular gave us some mosquito repellent. I ordered a fish dish and left it because the quality was like frozen from the supermarket. Dry, tough, and tasteless. My wife's too, but it was still edible. For 20 euros, I don't expect much, but I left it. I guess I'm used to better. We saw that the "no smoking" signs didn't apply to the chef. The 2 and 3 picture is fresh from a other taverne same price, we know kwality to find!
Super delicious and flavorful food, especially the musaka! But unfortunately the fried calamari is not tender and misses some sort of dips, we think. Staff (or owner) is very sweet and welcome. The location is unfortunately very noisy because of all the quad bikes.
The team was really great and the sitting area was great but the same does not go for the food. Our octopus was cold and I personally do not understand why they served red mullets and calamari with french fries. Ok for casual dining but would not recommend it.
Ate here last night and decided on just ordering a few starters and a few drinks. The food was absolutely amazing and there was so much of it. Shrimps were bigger than King prawns with rice and whatever they were marinated in was amazing. Mushrooms and garlic bread and salad. Wouldn’t have managed a meal after that .
Excellent food and service. If you search for exceptional experience - go to Taverna Keri! We took a table on the balcony and it was good choice because we had better view to the harbour.
The service was good but our food wasn’t. The mixed grill is below average while the price is way higher than it should be. Not recommend. 最好别来
We had the most wonderful dinner at Taverna Keri. Nice staff (especially the two lovely sisters that helped us), wonderful food and a beautiful view. Definitely recommend!

What can I say!! Incredible!! Kev and co. Do a fantastic job!!👍👍😁😁🏖️🏝️🌞☀️🌊. Great selection of Food and Drinks 🍉🥖🥪🍕🥘🍝☕🫖🧋 🍻🍺 Desserts Say no More.. Then I Saw the ICE CREAMS!!!! Never Seen So Many 🥰🥰😋😋😋😋😋. What a Choice.. Can't wait to be back here again. Sorry I forgot about the Sunbeds So Comfy and Clean.. Steve and Angie. Starcross Devon 🏝️🏖️
Wow what a place this is! Great to meet the legend (pioneer) Kevin and his team they really looked after us. The best Cocktails, our favourite was the frozen passion fruit martini and the specially made strawberry daiquiri. The padded sun beds were really comfortable and there was a cold shower available to cool off when required. It was simply perfect!
Absolutely the best place if you want to spend all day on the beach. The staff is really friendly. Excellent food, great service and really pleasant place to stay all day long and relax! The bar is well decorated and beach chairs are always well prepared on a nice and soft white sand.
Tasty food, friendly staff and in general really nice relaxing atmosphere
Visited Buca bar and beach the last two years. Great place to relax. Perfect hospitality from Kev. If you want to know anything for great place to eat. Or places to visit or just the weather just as Kev. St Dennis too was a great fella. All the staff were all jolly. €20 for sunbeds and brolly. Lovely food Greek yoghurt honey nuts and peach tea for a light refreshing breakfast. Unless you have been to Relax around the corner for full English breakfast. Also what's nice for brunch in Buca is a bacon cheese garlic melt with chips and coleslaw. You don't even have to move off your sunbeds. They will serve you on the beach. Perfect. 😎😁👍
Great service and well maintained sunbeds. £20 for two sunbeds and the umbrella. Cash is easier as the card machines sometimes don't work on the beach and saves you a trip inside. Coffees and ice cream are lovely and my family inform me that the food is also excellent.
Very nice beach. Soft sand everywhere and amazing water. The drinks were good but I feel like they were a bit overpriced as well as the additional 10 euro you had to pay for 2 sunbeds.

Latas Cafe Restaurant, situated in the charming village of Bochali on Zakynthos island, offers a truly unparalleled experience with its mesmerizing nighttime view of the city. Nestled next to an old church, this establishment has become a well-established institution on the island. Being a popular tourist destination, Latas Cafe-Bistrot provides an astonishing vista from Bohali Hill that overlooks both the harbor and Zakynthos town.
Went to diner yesterday and had a wonderful time. A great view of Zakynthos City with sunset. When my girlfriend was a bit cold because of the wind they offered a warm blanket. Food was great, beer served in cold glass and friendly staff.
Erik D — Google review
I rarely give bad reviews but this was such a waste of money. Maybe zakynthos is just bad for food overall, but this sucked so bad. The service was awful aswell very rude and uneducated in terms of customer service. Hated this place. Sorry. The view was great and so was the hike. Greasy food and everything was tasteless. And pretty damn expensive too. Rubbish place. Do not go there.
This place has great views and that’s about it.
We ordered the gyros and schnitzel and both were burnt, and very dry, even the pita. The food also took ages to arrive, it’s possible they forgot about our order
It’s also quite over priced compared to other restaurants in the area- wish we had checked the reviews before we sat through the wind and had a poor meal! We paid around €45 -€50 for the two meals
Charging €8.50 for a 50cl Alfa beer is essentially asking your customers to visit once and never return.
Tourists are not foolish — we understand the value of money.
A scenic location doesn’t make the beer taste any better. It’s the same Alfa I can get elsewhere for €5.50.
Be smart: charge a fair price and encourage repeat customers. As it stands, you're only hurting your own business.
Edit after the owner's answer.
Do you think that lying about it will earn you more customers? Whoever reads this review, will avoid your place.
My initial bill said: 8.50 € for 2 drought 50 cl Alfa beers for a total of 17 €.
Other than that I ordered a portion of fries for 6 € for a total bill of 23 €.
You can lie as much as you want. I cannot tell you how to manage your relationship with your customers but I can say that you are ripping them off and you deserve to have your terrace almost empty.
We ended up here because we wanted to check out the castle. After visiting the castle here we went for a bite to eat.
During our stay in Zakynthos it was not yet tourist season so plenty of place space. There is a terrace with a view of Zakynthos town.
The staff is nice, pairs reasonably good English and somewhat attentive.
We had some water, a fresh orange juice a sandwich and a Greek salad. We paid a total of €26. It was pretty okay food kwa taste.
The design is nice and simple. Good umbrellas to sit under.
Music was not played during our stay on the terrace. This was also not at all necessary here.
All in all, top little place to go and have something to eat if you are around here.
The view from this café is absolutely stunning, with an incredible panorama over Zakynthos—you really can’t beat the location. Unfortunately, the place itself was very disappointing. The seating area and surroundings were dirty, with plastic bottles and garbage scattered around, which completely ruined the atmosphere. It feels neglected and not cared for at all, which is such a shame given how beautiful the setting could be.
We had dinner at this restaurant with a stunning view of Zakynthos, definitely the highlight of the evening. The dishes were tasty, although the tzatziki had a bit too much garlic for our liking. Overall, the food was enjoyable.
The service, however, was somewhat lacking: the staff did not speak English very well and didn’t help us with the issue of the wasps. In addition, a child playing with the cats was moving around the tables, which was a little disturbing.
All in all, it was a pleasant experience thanks to the location and the food, but with some details that could be improved.
We had dinner at Latas Café & Bistro during our stay in Zakynthos, and the experience was overall positive. The food was good and the panoramic view over the city and the port was simply spectacular – definitely worth it for the view.
Unfortunately, the atmosphere was a bit spoiled by the presence of many wasps, which disturbed us during the meal. We asked the waiter if something could be done, but unfortunately no action was taken, also due to the language barrier.
In addition, a child in the restaurant was playing with the cats and running between the tables, bothering the guests and disturbing the tranquility of the evening.
In summary, the place offers great views and good food, but there are a few aspects that could be better managed

Bakery
Grekas Bakery is a charming little spot that's perfect for grabbing a quick bite or drink. While seating is limited, it's a great place to enjoy traditional Greek pastries and frappes. The bakery offers a variety of items, including unique finds like mini ice creams by the kilo. The friendly staff provides quick service and the prices are reasonable. Visitors rave about the quality of their espresso and traditional desserts, with favorites like lemon pie and feta cheese pie.
We visited this amazing little bakery twice on our trip. You can eat and drink there but seating is limited and most people take away. We had frappes here and tried their traditional sweet Greek pastries which were tasty and will not break the bank.
You can buy most things here that you would expect and something's you wouldn't find in a British bakery such as mini ice creams (by the kilo).
Staff are friendly, polite and they operate a quick service.

We went there every day to buy apple pie, it was our favorite. Really delicious. Also we bought good bread.
We also tried other products, some better than the others, but the apple pie remains the best.
Best bakery I've visited with the most amazing frappe I've had and also the staff are lovely and friendly. Tip, try the baileys frappe 😋 out of this world .
Very nice place for chilling with good coffee and ice cream. Nice view, correct prices and kind staff.
Delicious pastries, good choice of drinks and friendly staff.
The best cafe in Argasi.
Good pastries and baguettes.
Coffee in a proper cup and cappuccino was really good, not in a cardboard mug, really nice thing.
Location on the main street, right in the center of Argasi.
Wonderful place with delicious coffee and very tasty bakery. The hostess was wery friendly.
Thank you Irene and the team for the friendly service and yummy food. The delicious birthday cake made my mothers birthday extra special!

Great place to have breakfast in the morning! The owners are amazing!
We went here for coffee and shared a waffle between the two of us. We ordered a waffle with strawberries, caramel sauce, whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. The portion was excellent and there was enough to satisfy both of us, who were hungry for a small snack.
The service was fast and friendly and we were warmly welcomed when we arrived.
I definitely recommend trying the waffles here!
You can customize the waffle portions to your liking and the price depends on the number of toppings.
The portion we ordered with toppings cost around €10.
Got a couple of drinks here in the morning. Great staff, even helped us with a few tips for our stay in Argassi. Good prices, tasty drinks, comfy seats, but unfortunately no AC or fans, at least in the morning.
Pizzas are different different levels and by far the best on the island everyone should try once even if in Greece !
Best breakfast on the island.
Nice relaxing atmosphere with banter from all the staff involved.
The owner reminds me of a young Danny Dier
A very nice place. Everything we ate was tasty. Very nice service 👏🏼

Healthy breakfast in nice setting.
The whole place is really refreshing and different to anywhere in Alykes. It’s a nice vibe and speaks to a new generation of guest. The guest who doesn’t want an English breakfast with chips every morning. Such a nice vibe.
An absolutely amazing array of coffee which they are happy to do cold or hot.
Recommend the honey blossom coffee hot or cold.
Oat and yogurt pots are very nice for breakfast to set you up for the day feeling good.
Other smoothies and cocktails too looked good on the menu.
Never went in for an evening visit but walking past the vibe again seemed so chilled wish we had the chance to.
I believe they are big on using local produce and environmentally conscious which was very refreshing giving everywhere in Alykes seems to LOVE plastic it was refreshing to see Kanela seem to care about the planet.
Please expand the breakfast/food menu!!
Also the guy who served us was lovely

We enjoyed breakfast and coffee here. The staff and service were wonderful. The coffee was delicious! I got the vegan bowl and it was perfect! My husband got pancakes and said it was the best breakfast he’s had! We loved the atmosphere. Everything was priced fairly too. We highly recommend!
By far the most beautiful terrace in the entire Alykes resort. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly. High-quality products. The terrace’s design immediately gives you that Boho-style vacation vibe. They even have very friendly cats. I recommend it to any tourist visiting Alykes.
P.S.: They also have craft beer.
beautiful place! the best food I've had in my life. These pancakes will give me nightmares. The place is so beautiful, for the soul and for the stomach 😄 The owner is wonderful. love this place and will definitely come back. I recommend everyone to visit this place, you won't regret it! ❤️❤️
Amazing coffee with a light acidic flavour! Would come again, recommend for coffee lovers!
The best Latte I had in whole Zakynthos!
Absolutely loved this place! We went there everyday, even if it was just for an iced matcha. They have some really nice drinks and snacks. The atmosphere is just so cozy and welcoming. There's oat milk for your coffee and even a vegan breakfast bowl. The people working there are so kind and if you chat with them they will give you some great recommendations for other nice places on the island. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Lovely cafe, friendly owner and really good food. Lovely atmosphere quiet and chilled and. Beautiful courtyard/garden. The food was really good and had big portions! The homemade cake was amazing.
We were visited by a sweet dog and cats and got to see the tortoises in the garden.
We had a look around the family museum too.

Really glad I went here. The atmosphere was so laid back and relaxed. All food was fresh. The servers were so nice and helpful. A wonderful snippet of Greek history just at the back in the museum.
They don’t charge for entry but donations are welcome. And worth it to keep this place going!
This place is pure magic. If you search for unusual place, homemade food, warm and open people you definitely should go there to collect beautiful moments. There is not only good and tasty food but also museum where you can get an insight into history, especially for an agricultural tools and how people lived in a village. Much more interesting than any other in the island. Go there, visit this place, talk to the owner, know the family local life. This place is about the taste and relation.
Good Greek food in a hidden spot, all seemed very fresh and the staff is very friendly and super kind. I took the pork souvlaki, nicely done!
They have a small museum with old farm equipment which was nice to visit with our little kid after our dinner. Definitely family friendly.
This is the kind of place we come to Greece for, totally authentic and original.
Very warm and welcoming, lovely atmosphere and great home cooked food which was delicious. The little Museum gives a great insight into their family background through the ages, very interesting to end the visit with.
A wonderful taverna in Zakynthos. Very tasty and large portions. Interesting place, in a small village, with a museum and a great garden. Very polite and hospitable owners. Everything was very tasty, we also tried the incredible orange cake. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch. I recommend visiting this place. It is very convenient on the way to the Navagio viewpoint.
Hidden gem of a place. We were given a wonderful welcome from Babis the owner and curator of the museum cafe. We went for coffee and cake and he took good care of us. The orange cake was super light and delicious. Babis gave us a guided tour of his museum which shows 150 years of family tradition in Greek lifestyle. He explained how his ancestors used to live and farm the land. The exhibits are well set out and Babis is happy to answer your questions. We went to see if they were serving Frigannia ( Greek pudding ) but they sold out, Babies and his mother gave us a lesson in how it's made. We wanted to go back the next day to try it when it was set but our car hire had to be returned. We will 100% go next time. Thank you Babis.

Dedicated to quick stops for tourists. Your coffee will arrive in no time, and a Frappe to go is no problem either!
Have a look at the panoramic view from the rear!
This is the perfect spot for lunch while visiting this unspoilt town. The view is beautiful, and the meat is top quality, cooked to perfection by the lovely owners. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because the chips weren't homemade but frozen french fries, unlike most other places on the island.
This place has an amazing view and the owners were very kind and friendly. Food was delicious but I was a little bit surprised by the prices since the village isn’t a very touristic spot. Overall good experience but there are better restaurants with the same prices.
Came here on a Sunday afternoon. Sat on the terrace at the back overlooking a beautiful bucolic view, and chowed into a delicious (late) Greek breakfast. This place is good for the soul.
Absolutely loved this place! Had one of the best pita gyros I’ve ever tasted. To top it off, I got to enjoy it with a lovely view, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended if you’re looking for great food in a beautiful spot!
An authentic Greek taverna. The restaurant had a beautiful view and the food was delicious. A cozy place that’s well worth a stop!

I have to be honest, the 3 stars are for the service. It was very slow the day we visited. We were lucky enough to find a table. The location is very good and kid friendly. I must admit that the waiter taking the orders was really good and friendly. It took them a lot of time to bring the order and we were 7 so everyone had his drink at a different time. The cocktail smelled better than it tasted. It was quite pricey but it is for the unique location.
Used to be the go-to place for people of all ages back in the good days. Still a great place to visit for people-watching, particularly because of its location which is excellent. In every other aspect however, it has deteriorated. Some servers are enthusiastic and some aren’t at all. The desserts we had were quite okay, nothing special. They have a band that plays live music and that’s really loud, to the point it’s annoying rather than pleasing.
Here’s to hoping this historic cafeteria will see better days in the near future.
Great place for coffee and chill. There is indoor and outdoor.
Not a place for meals. Pizza was ok. Prawn salad was ok. Octopus can be better, fries that comes with it are way salty.
A wet night out of season in Zakynthos. Greeted by friendly staff and served a good meal. Excellent pasta and Salad, fresh bread and a bottle of local wine. Not a busy night for the place. Reasonably priced, Elegant and charming on Solomos square. I will see it busy and look forward to giving it 5*. Value for money.
Wonderful location, exactly on the square. Good food, quality and honest people!
Could provide some cooling for customers as it is outdoors.
Best placement in the central part of Zakynthos town. Excellent for families, because kids have a lot of place to play. But the service is not very good, it is often crowded and the prices are high. Although I don't prefer it, I find myself going there almost everytime that I visit Zakynthos, just for the place and for the convenience my having my small daughter play and be able to watch her. If you visit Zakynthos once, it is work visiting, but not for more.
A place that's taking advantage of its position in the best place in the city of zakynthos to deliver bad service and bad products. From the waiters spilling drinks on us, taking insane amounts of time to deliver, bringing food without utensils and undrinkable concoctions, the things that happened are too many to write..if you can avoid it, do so, its a tourist trap.

Circus All Day is a charming spot with fairly priced and delicious food. The shakshuka and French toast are highlights, though the latter could use less custard and more fresh fruit. The cocktails are reasonably priced compared to other touristy spots, and the location on a quiet square adds to its appeal. The chicken burger is moist and fresh, served with perfectly cooked wedges.
Circus All Day is a hidden gem that offers the best brunch in the world! This charming little restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to start your day. I recently had the pleasure of trying their French toast and American breakfast, and I was blown away by the quality and taste.
The French toast was absolutely divine – perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and topped with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup. It was indulgent but not too heavy, striking the perfect balance. The American breakfast was equally impressive, with perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, fluffy pancakes, and freshly brewed coffee. Every component was made with care, and the flavors were spot on.
The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant is casual and lively, with a great vibe that makes you feel right at home.
If you’re a brunch lover, Circus All Day is an absolute must-visit. With its delicious food, warm service, and inviting atmosphere, it truly lives up to its reputation as serving the best brunch in the world!

A lovely place to enjoy a breakfast, a meal or just a coffee, with amazing and responsive servers. This place offers amazing food with great portions. The atmosphere is excellent and the decor has great character. Definitely my go-to spot for Zakynthos.
Amazing place for breakfast and brunch. Good iced coffee. If you’re a company of two, “circus tower” would be a great choice.
Seriously one of the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Was craving pancakes on the first day in Zakynthos found this gem and came back for it on my last. Delicious!
The waiters were also wonderful and the whole atmosphere is a vibe. Definitely recommend!
Circus All Day is a lovely spot we discovered during our vacation! The croissants were absolutely delicious and the Ice Flat White was perfect. We didn’t get a chance to try the breakfasts, but they looked incredible too!
OMG....that place is MAGICAL... everything is beautiful about it. Location, Design, Service, Food....I highly recommend it! I have traveled the world but something like that?? Really.... BEAUTIFUL.....Sushis like a separate piece of art...Tasted just like in Japan ...Cocktails ....I am in love with that place and will definitely return over and over 💕
The food was great, large portions, high quality and the servers where all super nice and sweet. The place is clean, fresh and the bathroom too. In the same day we went to have breakfast and lunch too for how good it was!!!
Absolutely blown away! The service here is beyond amazing — the staff made me feel so welcome and taken care of. Food and drinks were perfect, and the whole vibe was spot on. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a bistro bar!

Tzante Coffee Shop is a centrally located cafe in the heart of the town center of Zakynthos.

The menu offers a variety of omelettes, sandwiches, and toast at expected prices for the area. Visitors can enjoy people-watching on sunny days while savoring hot and cold snacks along with a selection of drinks.
Nice coffee and amazing snacks, staff and the owner are very friendly

Stopped for a snack. Friendly staff, but then he tried to overcharge, I had to get him to revisit the menu. After which he charged the correct price.
Incredibly friendly staff and delicious food and drinks! We were visiting on holiday and a family member lost a wallet here full of cash. On returning to our accommodation and realising we lost a wallet, we discovered the staff had left the Wallet full of cash in the police station for us to collect! It saved our holiday!!!!

Lovely food and drink goes without saying. Any one that's visited here will say that. And how welcoming the staff are. However I can vouche for their character as I left behind a wallet full of cash and then left to travel else where on the island. But they found and took care of my wallet for safe keeping and made sure it was returned to me with everything in tact. In hard times with costs going up there are still good people in this world. Thank you for being beautiful lovely people. What more can I say.
Fabulous little find in Zante town
Great frappe and cheese pies
We loved it here. We just stayed for drinks, but the prices and service was very good. It was also a nice sun trap in the early afternoon.
A centrally located cafe in the heart of the town center. Friendly host who give advise what to do and where to go in Zakynthos. He even help call several operators to enquire about the boat charter. Quite a good menu of omelette and sandwiches and toast. Price is expected in the town center. You may like to know that there are quite a bit of shopping around.
Dennis and Rula make all thier customers feel very welcome. A nice selection of hit and cold snacks and the usual array of hit and cold drinks available. Good place to sit and people watch on a sunny day!

The café La Strada offers excellent service with friendly staff. Their baklava is tasty and comes in generous portions. The Greek coffee is strong, rich, and full of flavor. It's a popular spot among the locals, indicating its quality. The orders are delivered quickly and the Greek omelette is particularly delicious. The prices are reasonable for what you get and the café is conveniently located on the main pedestrian street. While not extraordinary, it's a budget-friendly place with decent coffee options.
A genuine greek experience, simple, fast and tasty.
Good for breakfast and a coffee. Local citizens are playing backgammon and are happy to share the island stories between them, all in a relaxed atmosphere

Great cafe! if you are looking for a pure local vibe, this is the place! The greek omelette was simple but delicious😋
Cool local vibe on the main street, lots of people playing board games. Also has relatively cheap food and drinks
Cheap place, nice coffee, nothing spectacular, but ok for the price you pay. WiFi password impossible to break (not even a waitor knows it by heart). Ok place to rest while walking down Roma street.
Great atmosphere of locals playing backgammon! We couldn't resist and joined them. The ice chocolate was so tasty!
Stopped for a refreshment break 2 beers 4 euro nice and ice cold.
Great little place full of locals - that's a good sign! The order was very quick to come and the greek omelette was delicious! Prices are reasonable and the location is on the main pedestrian street.
So good coffie.Big ice cream,very nice people

Alouminadiko is a hidden gem that offers an exceptional coffee experience in a beautifully decorated space adorned with greenery at the entrance. The relaxed atmosphere makes it an ideal spot to unwind, and the friendly staff adds to its charm. Whether you're craving a classic cappuccino or exploring alternatives like almond milk, Alouminadiko consistently delivers delicious brews that cater to various preferences.
Very good coffee, nice decoration with the greenery right at the shop entrance, relaxed atmosphere. Not crowded, it seems hidden and I like it.
Update 26/8: I always order cappuccino which tastes the same every time; this is important to me. Also, I asked for an extra double dose of coffee (I was very sleepy that morning) and they didn't look at me like I was crazy, which I appreciated.

The coffee is absolutely amazing. Atmosphere is spot on. The service (i guess the owner) is great.
Good coffee, nice service, ok pastry.
Biggest benefit is that it opens early so you cand get the coffe on the beach ⛱️
Wonderful coffee, despite the lack of available lactose-free milk I got an equally delicious coffee with almond milk. The place of our time! Beautiful decor, friendly staff and a very cuddly cat! ❤️🥰 I recommend to everyone!
Excellent coffees with a variety. Some snacks available too! Opens in the early hours of the morning which was convenient as we were heading out for dives early.
A lovely place to have a coffee or 2 , friendly staff very welcoming
Great coffee, great vibes and music and great service plus they have Decaf and Oat Milk✅✅✅
Good coffee with fair price.

If you're looking for the perfect latte, I highly recommend YOLO Cafe in Zante. Their coffee is top-notch and definitely worth a visit. Kosta, the owner, deserves a special thanks for his amazing brews. Unlike other cafes in Greece that can be disappointing, YOLO Cafe offers an exceptional experience with their delicious coffee and tasty snacks. This cozy and lively urban cafe serves up delightful flavors of coffee and mouthwatering desserts that will leave you wanting more.
I came by chance and got a delicious espresso, as well as orange fresh, which was packed for me in a very interesting package, pleasant service. Thank you!

Brunch restaurant
Great food, friendly & attentive staff!
We had the green and yellow smoothies, the vegan banana bread, the Eggs Benedict and an iced latte.
The food and drinks were fantastic! The iced latte was probably the best we’ve had on the island!
Service was fast and our server was very sweet.

This is a nice place for a brunch if you are in Zakynthos.
The food ia good and there are enough options for everyone.
There aren't many places, but I think is enough for this kind of place.
Everything was good for me with one exception. There was a room spray which was too intense for me and makes me wish to finish eating fast😅.
How refreshing to find an eatery that caters for vegans. The owner was so lovely and told us all about her personal journey of cutting out meat. They have a wide variety of healthy breakfast options. I chose something a little more naughty- an omelette croissant which was something different but sooo good! The kids said the smoothies on offer were the best they've ever had. Very reasonable prices too.
The food was so good, we visited twice during our stay in Zakynthos. Prices were really good for a place right in the center of the city. The server was really sweet to us too. Definitely worth it!
A lovely place in the center of Zante. It was close to our Airbnb so we went to get coffee there nearly everyday. The people that work here are really lovely! Definitely recommend ❤️
Great spot for brunch or breakfast in Zakynthos! Delicious food, generous portions, and a really nice vibe.
Definitely my favourite brunch place in Zakynthos town! 😍 food and coffee is great! The only thing I would improve are the staffs, I would appreciate them to be more smile and kind and making better atmosphere☺️🙏
Everything we ordered was delicious! Service was friendly & welcoming too. Highly recommend 🙏🏽
