Ionian Islands, Greece Food Guide: 10 Mediterranean food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Lefkada

April 16, 2020 Nicolette Lion

Find out what Mediterranean restaurants to try in Lefkada. Lefkada's name means "white," from the famous white cliffs of Cape Lefkata, site of an ancient temple of Apollo, where rumor has it that the celebrated Lesbian poet Sappho flung herself from the rocks. To stay with the mythology theme, don’t miss a boat tour on the mighty Odysseia, a colorful replica of a Greek war ship. You can also explore deserted monasteries in the mountains, splash around under the Nidri waterfalls and swim at some of Greece's most famous and beautiful beaches.

Maybe the rate would be better if we did not Eat much better on Lefkada!Iz was too hot and the host had a group after, so we had feeling they were not to happy with us Thank you for visiting us and for the positive evaluation. However I was the person who served you, and I must have it known to the rest of our customers that you visited us at 5 pm in the midst of July, so it was sure very hot, not by our doing. You came on a day we had a Live Music night scheduled. I had advised you that I had a full house at 7 pm and that I needed some time to set the tables. I advised you to take a table not in the vicinity of the stage, so I would not have had to move you or rush you in any way. Nonetheless you asked to sit next to the stage, and it took you two hours to finish the meal, as you guys were taking turns eating and going inside your cars to enjoy the air conditioning. Not happy, you ordered coffee and took your sweet time about it too. You showed a massive disrespect for our work, and for all the village, leaving the cars on for two hours. You also ate all of the dishes clean, and we offered watermellon on the house. We are sorry if you did not have a good time.

We spent a week in Vasiliki in September 2019 and ate out every night. This was by far the best experience, with a nice appetizer offered, great food that was a little different from the standard Greek offering and a very professional and friendly service.

Went for dinner one evening only to find that reservations were required. Managed to get a booking for another evening and it was well worth it - delicious food and great staff. Lots of people were queuing hoping for a table - so if you're going to Mikros Gialos, make sure you reserve a table.

Perhaps the owners are too busy or tired, but the wonderful atmosphere got lost, we saw lots of yelling and unhappy employees. The Pizzas were undercooked to a fault, and the time we waited was much more than tolerable. They still have good Ice Cream though.

Reviewed By paulrO4677UV

I've eaten in here once and had the Gyros take away and honestly can't fault it !! The people working there are friendly, the food delicious and perfectly cooked and all at very reasonable prices. So many people seemed to walk past and seemingly be out off because it looks more like a cafe than a restaurant, but trust me the food is better than you'll find in some of the fancier waterfront restaurants charging quite a bit more !! Good honest food which really is "Tasty" will definitely be back !!

Reviewed By BlueBoxsa

Things started well, we just arrived in time for the sun to set below the hills and were greeted enthusiastically by the waiting staff. Sadly, after an enticing treat of two dips and a glass of rose liquor things started to stumble down hill. Our waiter explained that something like 6 to 8 dishes from a relatively short menu were not available but, not to worry, that still left us with several reasonable choices,. Indeed the chickpea and baked feta (with a nice kick) starters were tasty and the moussaka did not disappoint. However, the enormous slice of cheese pie for a main course was tasteless and far too dry - we were told that is how the Greeks like it but to us it was crying out for a garnish or something to add a little extra flavour. The waiter's proud boast that it included 12 layers of filo pastry probably explained why!Maybe our criticism over the pie caused the waiter to leave us far too long before returning to our table (and this when there were only 4 or so other tables occupied - they were hardly "busy") and by this time the cold evening air just made us think we were best to forgo dessert (just a choice of very sweet orange cake or pannacotta) and coffee and leave.So, not quite the dining experience we had hoped for. In my view this place has the capacity to be better overall and if it can get more tables occupied it will have a much better ambiance - at present it comes across as the polar opposite of Rachi, in Exhantia, 10 minutes down the road.
