Hey guys
just looking for a few ideas on where to eat and what, not been in 4 years I have my faves but anything new to try is always good
Thanks
-
Hi Balkus
Highly unlikely that you would get a bad meal anywhere in San Stef.
Everyone has their favourites so I would suggest trying as many as you can.
New eateries like Beer o'clock and Brusko's are getting good reviews as well as our favourite The Little Prince.
-
They're all good, not a bad taverna/restaurant to be found. Try them all.
-
Beer o'clock ?? Sounds nice and Greek lol
We'll give it a go where abouts is that and yeah little prince is up there does one of my fave meals
-
Just down from Nafsika,lovely food,and beer to wash it down. :)
-
You must go to Fantasea, it's one of my all time favourites

Where is that not seen that before
-
Keep going past Nafsica towards the harbour,its on your left..Used to be Golden beech..very nice food and views of the bay.
-
It serves fabulous fresh seafood and the view of the sunset is amazing. It is run by a brother and sister, can't remember their names, I believe their father is the chef. Lovely lovely people
-
Their names are Konstantinos,or Kostas,as most people call him,his sister is Ioana. The chef is George who is the son of Kostas from the beach who has the sunbeds.

Sweet il put that on the "to eat" list, Kostas always a character, love his melons
-
Agreed they are all good personal favourites are Ozzie oils and the two star ,tasty corner great for snacks.
-
The food in the old village area is top notch - Beer O'Clock, Beachcomber, Nafsika, Manthos, Fantasea. No need to go into sunset strip at all!
-
Totally agree Jimbo..we never eat on the strip...used to like zorbas many moons ago but its comercial now.food nothing like it used to be.
-
Yes..... another big fan of Fantasea here..... will deffo get the Manthos this year as we've never been.
I still love Zorbas...... it's great for our 4yo!! He loves the dancing.
Also the one restaurant that really seemed to get better and better last year was Yiannis opp Town Pizza. Very consistent, great service and always busy. Possibly some of the best value in the village too

Rubbish Jimbo, plenty of excellent food on "the strip"
-
Totally agree with Gavlah
-
Be interesting to see how 2 Stars goes this year in the bigger premises. We never visited the old one as it always seemed too crowded and warm in there!! Lot more light and airy where they have gone to. Will have to give it a go
-
Yes - Yiannis is excellent. Zorba's food is okay - and Pavlos is one of the best dancers in the village and a really nice guy.
-
Yep.yiannis is realy good..had a bad experience there last year,we arrived a bit late,place was full so waited ages for food.but when it came it was spot on..didnt stop us going back though.we made sure we was a bit earlier..
-
I was put off by Beer o Clock's name and didn't try it until nearly the end of my holiday last year - however food is really excellent and can deffo recommend.
Ozzy Oil and Fantasea always good - love Beachcomber and Nafsika and also Yiannis is a hidden gem.
Just have never got the hype around 2 Stars - I've eaten their twice and had very average meals both times and its always felt a bit 'low budget' BUT I appreciate that many many people really love it!
-
Pressure in a place that cooks fresh food can be a problem. Last year we went one evening and there was a big party of forum and facebook regulars there. We weren't invited to join the party, and the hosts were most apologetic that we'd have a delay.
But, hey - how hard is it to sit opposite a beautiful woman with a glass of wine in the Greek dusk for forty-five minutes dipping pitta into tzatsiki? Demanding food within two minutes strikes me as emblematic of the sad requirement for instant gratification among northern Europeans. Greeks treat food like love - you may have to wait a long time to get it, but when you do it's wonderful.
-
Haven't tried Yiannis, might have to give that a go this year
-
You won't be disappointed Carol. My advice would be no later than 8.30pm
-
Anyone know if Elpitha is opening this year? We didn't go last year, but I seem to remember someone saying it was open then.
-
All goin on the list, anyone had town pizza recently some of the best pizzas iv had how are they doin I remember first time I went he was still in his old place
-
Had a lovely one last year Balkus
-
I have two 'Must try's' on my list this year., Brusko and Yiannis. It will be easier to fit in as I will be there for 2 weeks. Also as I'm staying in the old part of the village, return visits to Olympia, Beachcomber, Nafsika, Manthos and Fantasea. If any of my friends who have transport are going, I would love to go to the Romanza BBQ again ;)
-
I defo think Yiannis wil be one of our first new places, a lot of buzz about it.
there's just too many good places to cram in to 2 weeks looks like il be coming home 3 stone heavier rather then just 1 an half from 2012 lol
-
Cambridge I recall someone on FB page saying Elpitha wouldn't be open but they thought the bar would be...
-
Thanks Amanda,
That's a shame, but the little bar is still worth the effort up the hill. It was always a little "different" there, which me and my lot always enjoyed. Pleasant little pool too.
-
To continue the discussion what are all your favourite specific meals mine has to be lamb in gastro from little prince hope they are still doing it, very delicious
-
Don't think I could pick out a favourite meal. Greek food is just lovely
-
Totally agree carolg but that gastro, never been served anything in its cooking pot before, was awesome, hippopots is definitely a stop for something I can take home to cook with
-
I am rather partial to bom bom lamb in Little Prince, and fresh prawns in Fantasea are amazing I could go on and on. Even basic things like bread and olives taste wonderful in San Stef
-
Let's face it - it's pretty good everywhere, and after a day of walking about, swimming, chatting, lounging, and all those things, it's almost always a great evening.
-
I can't remember where I had it or Wat it was called prob 8 10 years since I had it but it was slow cooked beef with apricots absolutely gorgeous
-
Zorbas used to do a meal with apricots but cant remember what it was called.think it was with turkey though,
-
No - it's lamb stew with apricots. I usually have it.
-
Sounds interesting..have to take a look in august.
-
Jumbo is correct. It's a great Zorbas dish. Not too far removed a traditional north African lamb tagine recipe
-
Excellent description. Rich gravy with chunks of lamb and a hint of cinnamon and allspice, plus the tiny explosions of fruity apricot, served with vegetables of your choice or rice. Adequately generous portions for those with capacious stomachs, especially washed down with a jug of house wine, but also subtle and packed with flavour. Not - perhaps - for those who wish to perform energetic Greek dancing, but fortunately most of us leave it to the waiters. Pavlos is one of the best dancers in Agios Stefanos, and watching him run, jump and kick, beaded with perspiration, is, I find, a perfect aid to digestion. Those of a fuller figure may later regret the generosity of the portions when they do the morning-after tape-measure test, but they will not rue the hints of Mediterranean taste-splendour that hang in the mind for years after experiencing this flavoursome and indulgent treat. Have a swim and a light lunch, then head to Zorbas and gorge on the food that fueled Odysseus before he set sail.

P.S. Please send this to Pavlos and I may get a free one.
-
I have eaten this gastromic delight in Waves,so it must be a traditional dish and not just confined to one restaurant.

Looks like Angelos has been on Just Eat again :-)
-
Another fave was papoutsakia only ever found it in one place looked for it every time iv been since and not found it
-
I had almost forgotten about papoutsakia ( Little Shoe ) Balkus, We used to enjoy this at the Sunset ,
An aubergine split lengthways and baked with herbs and spices and served with veg , delicious. We will have to track this one down this year.
-
I think it was with Stefanos and Dimitry at the paradise, I miss there lamb shank
-
Be interesting to see how 2 Stars goes this year in the bigger premises. We never visited the old one as it always seemed too crowded and warm in there!! Lot more light and airy where they have gone to. Will have to give it a go
I would imagine they will do very well there. Only ever had breakfast there, but they are very popular. We also didn't go , in the evening, because of the crowds. Hope they do well there.
-
Lamb with spinach and feta at Olympia is my favourite . Roy's is sizzling steak at Little Prince
-
That lamb sounds delicious, Leanne (my other half) wants to try the Olympia so mines already ordered lol
-
We've had papoutsakia many times in Lindos but never seen it in San Stef. We make it at home, either with aubergines or with our home grown courgettes when they've turned into marrows!
-
You can get the papoutsakia at Manthos as I have had them.
-
Excellent, I'll look for it in July :)
-
Same here Manthos on the list there's to many places to choose from.
Does anyone remember the boys at the paradise always great atmosphere and awesome food
-

The lamb with feta is gorgeous. Definitely recommend. We love all the food at Olympia though
-
Haven't been to the Olympia since I think my first time in SS. Definitely going this year
-
Olympia is one of our favourites and has been for many years. They do a wonderful meze.
-
In 29 days il be sampling all this glorious glutinous godly Greek goodness.
Il do food blog review thingy if anyone would like to keep up with a play by play lol
-
Found my beef with apricots at the waves awesome dish
-
Agggh cant cope with fruit and meat combinations...here (Belgium) in the hunting season , most of the game is with pears, apples, plums sorry too sweet.so wont be on my wish list
-
Honestly not that sweet or I'd not like it myself it's a very meety flavour. Really is delicious.
I don't go for sweet foods never have desserts.
If u don't like it il paypal u lol
-
Ok Balkus..your on...
-
When do you come rilo
-
We arrive 3rd August for 18 days....staying at peli&marias
-
Sounds nice me and mine just arrived home already Want to go back lol
-
So thats my free meal down the swanney..hey ho life goes on..lol hope you enjoyed..maybe a sneeky week end of season
-
So u don't have paypal then lol
An yeah hopefully started saving for it but think Vicky's is full :(
-
Plenty of other nice places to stay....
-
I like the old and new part of san stef, I am not sure where the divide is, and where "the strip" starts and ends, but like to try all the different places. We take it in turns to choose as we all have our favourites. I love to eat by the sea and would choose that every time!!
-
I would think old part starts from summer dreams on towards Nafsika think nafsika is oldest hotel in San Stefano. I would think the strip maybe ends at aspa supermarket.
-
I always think of the old part of town starting from Maria & Peli's shop all the way round to fantasea.
I always stay behind Nafsika now as we love Nafsika pool and food and prefer that end of town - having said that I've stayed all over and Teresa is a nice spot as is Vickys.
A lot of visitors completely miss out the old town which is a big shame as they are truly missing out
-
Same here Nellie went to everywhere we could to get food ur missing out if u don't. And I say old town would stretch the other way aswel up to the Peros they were well established in '96 with the effie a little way further down coming back towards town uv got the paradise taverna and supermarket (closed some years ago but Stefanos who owns it working at nafsika now such a lovely man) then "Steves" place town pizza.
