Came here last year and thought it was over priced and not very good. Came back this year and was blown away with the Friendly and efficient service, the Menu and the quality of food we sampled. The whole atmosphere felt different! Our first visit found us having afternoon drinks and snacks sat at the edge of a small drop off overlooking the Med, our second was an evening meal again sat looking over the Med and A Full moon in the Sky, the old saying Location Location Location sprang to mind! The food also was fantastic, so much so we chose this as our final nights meal location, this time we sat inside, the food again was great as was the live music. We are now looking forward to returning next year.

Epi Trapezis

Reviewed By D9758DZ_

We have been in this restaurant for the dinner, and we had really good pizzas, so we decided with small children to come also for lunch, we checked and everywhere was written that they are open from 9.30 to 00.30, we called and they said that they are closed just on Tuesday without notify us that they are closed for lunch. We walked about 25 min under the sun, and when we arrived the girl who was sitting there said that they changed their work hours, in a very arrogant manner. We will never come again in this place.

We ate a dinner. The pizza was a hand made. The hosts was smiling and friendly. The restaurant is beautiful and romantic. Finally, we got a watermelon to desert as a gift from the kind host.

Pella Taverna

Reviewed By suep698

This is a very popular taverna/bar on the sea front of Gouves.Generally a nice atmosphere, frequented by mainly English holiday makers.The menu is a mixture of traditional Greek and English meals, would probably suit most people’s tastes. At €3 a pint and the average meal being €8- €15 it not a ‘cheap eat’ but it is a popular place.Our meal arrived hot and freshly cooked after a wait of about 25mins and was tasty and plentiful.There is entertainment on a Saturday evening in October.I imagine this place is much busier in the season.

We visit George every year. The lamb in the oven is the most authentic meal you could dream of. It’s just amazing. He always remembers us even though it’s one of the most busy restaurants in gouves. He provides gluten free options and his whole family work so hard to give you value for money with excellent quality. We love you George! We will eat there again before we go home. Huge portions. My wife had a pizza was so big we had the second half for lunch the next day. And we paid 22euros for me and my wife 2 mains and 4 drinks. Seriously brilliant.
