Food (cuisine type) and beverages: A culinary discovery and amazement in the heart of Parikia. Authentic Greek and Mediterranean cuisine redefined. The chef is very humble and emphasized that he has no culinary training, irrelevant in our opinion as the dishes and food pairings were...exceptional. The restaurant can rightly be proud of this savant master chef in the making.
Service and wait time: Honest and good service. Fast service but not rushed so you have plenty of time to enjoy your meal. Good recommendations for local wines.
Value: Mid-range to pricey but value for money.
Location and accessibility: Conveniently located in the cosy streets of the port town of Parikia (capital) in Paros, Greece. Within walking distance from the port (approx. 10 minutes).
Atmosphere: Very cosy. Romantic courtyard with lanterns and olive tree. When we first explored Parikia we passed this restaurant and stopped to admire how all the guests enjoyed their meal laughing, the food smelled fantastic. We later returned to dine here after looking at other restaurants in the area, which turned out to be an excellent choice.
The atmosphere is so cosy and the food so delicious that we completely forgot to take pictures (we couldn't wait to taste it). We do recommend that you visit and experience this hidden gem for yourself.
View: Romantic courtyard with lanterns and olive tree.
When best to visit: Shoulder months (April, May, September, October). Less crowded and therefore more chance to get a table.
Reservation process: We have not made reservations in advance (walked in during the low season). Advance reservation is recommended during high season.
Tip policy: Not required in Greece. You can round the bill up. In our opinion, a tip of 5-10% is an appreciation of good service.
In our opinion, this is one of the best restaurants in the centre of Parikia in Paros, Greece. Must-visit.
We would love to visit Levantis restaurant again (and we plan to do so in the upcoming month; an updated review will follow).More
