    Everything was absolutely fabulous! The food (we had the mussels & homemade lemonade) were a Dream! In fact, the mussels were so good that we ordered a second serving. The lemonade was freshly made and not too sweet. Super refreshing. We sat outside underneath a beautiful oleander tree.. The Staff was very friendly and bevor leaving we got a plate of super sweet watermelon on the house. A definite must if your in Kos.

    This Greek restaurant is a historical listed building with large seating area on the street decorated with greenery and beautiful lightings. They have a great dining ambience in the evening. The food is ok and bear in mind that it is in the Kos Town - heavily populated by tourists. So you have to scale your expectations. Having said that, the waiter who served us was very passionate and knowledgeable with the food and catering business. I highly recommend their Saganaki as starter. It came with the flaming Saganaki in a pan and a small jar of lemon juice. The wine list is also a bit disappointing too. Food 8/10, ambience 9/10, service 8/10, value of money 8/10.

    This restaurant in Kos is a real find and we went more than once. It's a bit back from the harbour near the ancient agora. Traditional Greek menu. I had an excellent moussaka. Almost as good as the one I make at home 😂

    A fabulous Greek Dinner - A holiday Resturant which doesn’t upsell or hassle you to see their restaurant, honest and down to earth. Staff firstly were kind, professional , homely and very fun, all were men in their 40s -50s working there , with great enthusiasm and attitude. The Resturant is situated in a very nice part of Kos Town, with a scenic and instagramable location. Food is amazing, great flavours, vibrant and fresh, lots of local and Greek cuisine. Price was fair. It was the service which made the experience

    Very cute restaurant! Food is also good. We ordered big plates to share. A star for the innocent faces of the cats watching you while you eat, hahaha! Only four stars because towards the end of the restaurant (closer to the market and big square) it smells like cats and cat urine.

    Stumbled across the place by accident alongside needing a stop in between going to places. Thoroughly enjoyed small appetisers and freshly made drinks. All was made perfect by the hosts, atmosphere and just the sense of going above and beyond. We will be back within the week here at Kos! 🇬🇷

    It was an absolute pleasure to come here and have dinner. We joined the Restaurant as a group of 10 people and spent a very lovely evening there. The waiters were all very friendly and helpful and don't just want to sell anything to us. As we asked for mixed plates as a starter he said we should first decide what we have as a main course then he can choose the right amount of plates for the starters, because he doesn't want us to get too much. That was really nice. All the ideas we got were perfect, beginning with the starters, over the wines (white and rose) up to the main dishes were just delicious 👍😃 And the prices were also very fair so that we could give a good tip. So everyone please come and enjoy the food and the stay here.

    This Place was amazing! The food was so fresh & delicious! We loved it there! The Ambiente was so beautiful with all the trees and the flowers. The service was very kind & helpful! I would suggest the Tzatziki definitely! The calamari & also the saganaki! Everything was absolutely perfect! Highly recommended! 11/10!

    The restaurant is in a lovely location. The waiters (except 1) are lovely. But asking for food without oil or chips is impossible. Even when I use google translate to tell them I have a gall bladder problem and can’t tolerate fat or oil. The house red wine is lovely though. (The horrible waiter told me the chips are on the side so not a problem)

    Select has quite a few vegan options, and is in a beautiful location. The staff are also very friendly. I had the vegan gyros with fake meat and vegan mayo. It was really good, very tasty and filling. The fake meat was a little dry, and actually the bread wasn’t as soft as I’d like for €15, but overall it was a pretty decent vegan option.

    The most wonderful restaurant in Kos, with very warm and genuine staff. Food is great and the prices are too. Don’t be shy to have a little talk with the waiters and you’ll find genuine enthusiastic people, who will help you with everything you want to know. Also, the restaurant serves a degree of local ingredients, which makes the whole experience very delightful.

    We were lucky to come across this place. Everything was great: the place itself, the food, the wine and especially service. Very patient, cordial, informative and professional. And especially, Yanis ( I think who made a little performance for us. We will definitely come back.

    Visited this restaurant twice during a one week holiday in Kos town, it's next to the archaeological site, nice atmosphere no TVs just Greek background music, very reasonable especially if you look for the daily offer's on the board we had the swordfish and mixed Giro plate both very good.

    Nice place with good food. Quite bussy so if you want to make sure you have a place be on time. Waiting times were not too long. Worth the visit.

  • 5/5 Katherine B. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful location and the food was very nice. I ordered the grilled calamari with shrimps and it was refreshing to go somewhere that didn't serve it with chips and were more inventive! Squid tasted fresh too. My partner ordered the beef orzo which he thought was great. A good spot to eat that's near to the castle and a bit quieter away from the main strip.

  • 5/5 William W. 1 year ago on Google
    We had ice cream, a milkshake and some drinks. Very nice, good service, prices are average, certainly not the cheapest in town but still very nice and worth a visit. Lovely place to sit overlooking the ruins.

  • 5/5 Sylwia P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice location - a shady place where you can eat traditional Greek dishes. The staff explains what the individual dishes look like and helps with the selection. We ordered a plate of Greek specialties for 2 and it was a very filling and tasty meal.

  • 4/5 D D. 4 years ago on Google
    We ate here and looked through the wire fence at the ruins.... I got the Slovakia special with chicken, lamb and pork. The pork was good... A little fatty but good... The lamb was ground lamb on a skewer... The chicken was also good. The plate came with rice (cold 😑) tzaziki, french fries, a piece of tomato, one slice of cucumber and a small square of lettuce. My husband got the octopus.... He said it was good. I had water and he had a beer The food could have been hotter for sure ... But it was good. We would go again ... Very friendly staff... Really nice guys.

    Excellent food, with care taken in its preparation and presentation. Not the standard fare of everything with chips! The meze starter for one is a substantial dish with excellent variety, steamed mussels-delicious. Sea bass beautifully cooked. Lovely location away from the hustle and bustle

    Good place with all the traditional dishes. Very good staff. Loved the lamb shank, with a local wine. 😍

    A Great place near the barstreet. A stunning place, nicely decorated. Full of wonderfull trees all in bloom when visiting at the right time of the year. All the places are outside bit the staff is friendly and notices you right away anyway. Places inside are not needed at a place as nice as this one. They do have toilets inside. A nice menu with a lot of choice! I would recommend the vegetarian pizza. We didn’t have to wait very long and the food was delicious. Would recommend going here! :)

👍 The setting is very relaxing. I had the lamb with cinnamon and honey, that has a special nice sweet tatse unlike the ordinary grill lamb chop or lamb cooked in lemon. I like a bit of difference after many days of having plain grill meat.
