We had a wonderful dinner here, as an eating experience it was my favourite from two weeks in Greece and that includes a Michelin starred restaurant.The setting is lovely, there are a small number of tables with a great view over the harbour and you are surrounded by flowers and trees in the garden.Giannis the host was incredibly polite, welcoming and explained all the food and how the dishes were made. It was a very personal dining experience.Last but not least the food was superb, really delicious, full of fresh ingredients, locally sourced or home grown and we had excellent mackerel that was cooked perfectly. The house wine was also good and the complementary dessert was one of the best we've had on our trip.This restaurant is a must visit for the food, the setting and the wonderful service.
Yanis and his team are doing a great job. Went twice in a week.Food was delicious, cocktails were creative and the atmosphere was amazing
We had the most delicious dinner … in fact our favourite meal on the island was at this restaurant. 10/10 would recommend. We had a big group - the dishes were fresh, flavourful and reasonably sized. They didn’t come out at all once so we didn’t feel rushed. The Greek salad pictured was also the best salad we had during our 6 week Grecian holiday. We will definitely be back!!!!
We went to Olea Kouzinaki on the last night of our stay in Kefalonia and it certainly delivered a special meal and evening.The seating is outdoor and although they do their best to screen customers from the prevailing breeze, it was definitely a bit chilly in late October. Even so, the view down into Argostoli and the lagoon was breathtaking.With it being out of season, it is inevitably quiet and we were one of three couples during the time we were there. That said, it was still a pleasant ambience.The service was lovely and helpful, the menu varied. We had the bread and then saganaki to start - the saganaki was the best I had on our stay in Kefalonia.As a main meal we both had the pork cheek with a side of green beans. The pork was just magnificent - crumbled on the fork and flavours were divine.It is really good food - more expensive than typical Argostoli prices but the meal was definitely more high-end than some we had on our trip.All in all, really enjoyed the evening. Great food, good service, exquisite views.
Such a special place, we loved it so much we came back the next night!Everything on the menu was delicious and cooked to perfection. The gentleman behind the bar was entertaining and excellent at welcoming everyone. Cocktails were amazing too.All of the staff were so welcoming and friendly. Would love to come back just for a chat Thank you for such a special place!
This is absolutely a MUST STOP in Kefalonia. The food is divine, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is picture-perfect. Every single item our table ordered was delicious. We had a chance to meet the owner, who was polite, friendly, and generous. Don’t pass this gem up. It’s an absolute treasure. Everyone in our party was exceptionally pleased with every aspect of our dining experience. I wish I could eat here every day.
Highly recommend! Gorgeous views of Argostoli and even more amazing food. Felt like a very luxury dining experience and the service was excellent from the minute we walked in. We got the sea bass and beef and a greek salad and bread with the dip to start which was just divine. Amazing value - compliments to the chef and waitress!!
The best meal we had on the island so far! The restaurant is located on one of the high streets of the city and overlooks Argostoli and the stone bridge. The atmosphere is relaxed and calm and the entire staff is pleasant, speaks impeccable English and does everything to make the customers enjoy their time. The food itself is of a high standard. We ate a pasta dish, lamb shank, pork cheek, homemade bread and dessert. Everything was very tasty, beautiful to the eye and to the palate. The meal cost us a little less than 100 euros. It's more than average on the island, but definitely worth it. Highly recommended!
