Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A great place to enjoy original greek food. The restaurant is not a tourist attraction but as far as is residents choice, a visit is a must. Great taste and remarkable personnel..

This restaurant is a hidden gem with well prepared authentic greek dishes. They use fresh ingredients for their food and the service is great. The smell of the food was what attracted us (a group of 6 friends) to the restaurant the first time and...after tasting the food we were hooked and had to come back. The second time we went to the restaurant we were in a hurry and only had a little over 1 hour to eat. We really liked the lamb chops last time we were there so we asked the waiter if we had enough time to order that. The waiter told we might not have enough time for the lamb chops. We stubbornly ordered them anyway and within 15 minutes they brought out all the food we ordered (which was a lot). I’m usually a harsh critic but this restaurant truly deserves 5/5 stars for the service, ambience and food.More

So, if you’re looking for something local and tasteful this is the place you need to go. There is no « fancy » presentation and obviously don’t need it, but you will experience the very good taste of local food in Zante’s island !!! We had dinner...almost every night to this restaurant, became friends with the owner Nikos for now 2 years, and the food is always amazing. Also, it changes everyday, which is a proof of a great fresh menu coming, different everyday ! Please, do not hesitate, this Taverna deserve to be seen ☀️ With love, B&RMore

Their plates are truly reminiscent of mom's cooking. They are simple, flavorful, good portions and great variety. Try their pastitsio, is excellent. Only bad thing about the restaurant is the noise from the adjacent street. Excellent service.

Yes, Malanos is a value for money tavern but i wouldnt stay to that! We the food is delicious with a local taste and spirit! You shouldnt miss local ladotyri cheese local sausage and the greek salad,but whatever you try from the menu is great!...Note that they have great cooked dishes but they finish during lunch so if you want to have cooked dish for dinner you can call them around 13:00 ask them what are the cooked dishes and ask them to keep the portions you want for dinner.We have been there several times and tried mince meat balls, grilled liver, the above mentioned, fried aubergines and gourgettes, spaggheti with shrimps, chickencwith red sauce all delicious! So Buon appetite!More

We are a group of Greek friends visiting Zakynthos and we were shocked when we realized that we could not find a place that serves real Greek food, the way we are used to, because you know... we are still in Greece... Well this is...the place. It is a typical Greek taverna, where the fries are freshly cut potatoes and you don't have to ask for bread... Bread is always part of a Greek meal and here they bring it to you as it was supposed to be, baked with olive oil and oregano. Keep up the good work guys! You are an oasis in the middle of tourist traps in this island.More

Out of Zakynthos downtown, near Kalamaki, this cosy taverna is on the road, not on the main street but easily reachable by Google map. There is a parking outside and the taverna has a patio. Staff is always kind and warm. Food is very good...(especially the lamb) and the rest also, like the courgettes and the bread toasted with oil. Prices are normal, cheap in general. Definitely recommended.More
