Afandou

Best known for its stretch of sand-and-pebble beach, Afantou is a quiet resort with a sprinkling of open-air seafront tavernas and gyro restaurants. Souvenir stores in the village center sell ceramics and local honey. A cluster of simple churches includes Our Lady Katholiki, with 16th-century frescoes inside. Nearby, hiking trails wind through the Psalidi Hills, and there are sea views from Afantou Golf Course.

Katholiki Restaurant is a local, traditional eatery situated on the coastline of Afandou. This family-run establishment serves delectable souvlaki and homemade dishes, including mousaka. Additionally, they offer an impressive selection of beverages and desserts. As one of the finest and most genuine restaurants experienced during a trip around the island, Katholiki is frequented by both locals and tourists alike.
We have eaten here many times and never had a bad meal yet. Normal for us is grilled pork or lamb chops with roast mixed peppers. Having said that they sometimes have special dishes of the day and if the waiter suggests it we get it. We searched around area for stuffed peppers and they were here all the time, see picture The staff are always super friendly and always willing to help.

Went for a meal with the whole family on our first proper night. It was delicious and staff really helpful with us ordering the right things and accommodating my sons allergies. Only disappointment we had was that it was closed when we tried to go for lunch on our last day!!

The food in there is amazing, great service, big restaurant with a lot of tables and the atmosphere next to do church was very nice. I can definitely recommend this restaurant especially if you are a pair, they have menu for two people, or if there is more of you they have also menu for 4 people. Definitely worth a visit.

The most authentic, flavoursome and delicious Greek cuisine we’ve had during our visit. Planning to take others there again this evening! Specialities include their cheese balls, fried meatballs, baked feta and chickpea fritters. Also the most moist and succulent Slovaki we’ve had so far. Family restaurant that pull together well in busy times and appear to have a genuine love for what they do. A great sign too when it’s packed with locals and the taxi driver tells us on the way back to the hotel that they really are the best in this part of the island. Well worth a visit!

One of the best places we've eaten at in Rhodes. The portions are enormous and the prices cheap. Their tsatziki is out of this world and so is their greek salad which is huge in all possible sense of the word, huge feta block, lots of veggies with it etc. The staff is super friendly and they even have the resident ginger cat called 'child'.. what's not to like🙂

Pretty decent taverna, with good prices and a busy playground for the kids to play while the parents enjoy their mail. Old medieval church in the vicinity worths a quick visit while you're waiting for the food to arrive.

One of the best and most authentic restaurant we have been during our trip around the island. Attended by many locals, the place is vibrant and cozy. The menu is simple but traditional, food is delicious. The waiter was super nice and friendly. At the end of the meal we received two little ice creams, the perfect final touch of a delicious dinner. Adequate for families and big groups. Recommend!!!

Had the shared meat platter. Wow Plenty food, and served as and when ready, so you weren't overwhelmed by it, all at once, which was a good idea. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Large outdoor seating area, next to the church of the same name. Looks great. Wine was lovely and the ice-cream\lolly as a thank you was appreciated. Local and tourist visit all the time.

A real traditional family-restaurant, here you can eat the real traditional Greek food, homemade and with love made. Try dolmates and pork souvlaki with patatous and rice. Here you can eat between the locals.

Renowned for its delightful assortment of cheese, breathtaking vistas, and melodic melodies, Sky-Line is also well-liked for its grilled fare and delectable ice cream. Guests can savor their meal with a choice of amaretto, almond, or caramel-infused chocolate or indulge in the extensive range of cocktails offered at this establishment. The amiability displayed by the proprietors surpasses customary expectations as they exude genuine warmth and generosity.
The friendliness of the owner family goes beyond all usual scales. Anyone who considers human warmth and open-heartedness to be the true luxury will hit the bull's eye here. In addition, there is the fantastic view that you can enjoy at any time of the day. The spacious and clean apartments are equipped with everything you need. Nothing is missing. Greece is known for great weather, good beaches, delicious food and its influential culture. But the people here top even that!

The reviews are as everyone has said before "amazing". The staff could not be more helpful even when we had little visitor's come see us, even though it didn't bother us at all, they made sure that there was no problems with having the little kittens say hello and show that they were friendly. Food was amazing, both finished and wanted more and cocktails were to the same high standard and great tasting. We agree totally with the positive reviews for this place and would recommend to anyone that would like a sunset view with amazing food.

I booked a table for the 7 of us and we had a superb dinner. Our waitress was attentive and quick with drinks which is essential when it is 30 degrees. Now to our food , I won't list all the dishes but 7 starters + 7 mains and all plates went back empty, truly delicious and well presented so BIG thank you to the kitchen staff. It is a bit steep getting upto the Skyline but well worth it. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Skyline.

Came here early in the evening and enjoyed lovely cocktails and a huge meal. Great portion sizes and quality. As the evening went on the restaurant became very busy so would recommend reserving a table. Unfortunatley the service became very slow due to very few staff working this night, however the waitress was still very friendly. Would definitely return to enjoy dinner and drinks with great views.

Greek hospitality at its best. This is a welcoming, family-run restaurant serving excellent food with outstanding service at very reasonable prices. The view over Afantou to the distant shoreline is spectacular, especially in the evening. It’s a short, stiff walk up to the restaurant from the free, public car park below, though well worth the effort. The hosts also have apartments to rent, below the restaurant.

Oyster bar restaurant
Avantis Fish Restaurant first opened its doors in 1983 as a traditional seaside tavern, but has since transformed into a contemporary eatery specializing in grilled seafood. The grill master, known for both his culinary skills and vibrant personality, prepares exceptional dishes such as lobster and seafood pastas. Located on Afandou bay, this restaurant offers a diverse menu including octopus, sardines, sea urchins, and of course, lobster.
After a recommendation from a friend, we went to Avantis for lunch, and it was a great experience. Low season, restaurant was empty, so we had it for ourselves, Vassilis was very gentle and helpful with recommendations, We ate fish (Seabream) as it is a fish taverna and it was the most fresh fish I have ever tasted, amazing flavour, completely recommended. We also ordered kalamary, which was also tender and tasty. Overall, we enjoyed it a lot.

The restaurant is well located. We're here and ordered the saganaki shrimps. The service was good, the waiter was polite and welcoming. They brought the Ice cream for gift to us. But the prices are really high. 66 euros for shrimps (10 shrimps) and one coffee!!!

If you're looking for the best option to waste money then hey congrats you're in luck! There's just absolutely no reason to pay a visit. Food: mediocre Service: impossibly slow (+they forget some requests) Ambience: looks nice but nothing special Price range: out of reasonable (90€/kg for basic white fish from the grill?!) If this can be considered as the average Greek approach to work then no wonder they go bankrupt time-to-time.

Despite of some bad reviews, our exprecience turned out very well! The staff was helpful, friendly and in my opinion quick (it was Sunday 3pm, during the season, and there were relatively lot of guests; table reservation is recommended to get the spot of your choice). Food was delicious - grilled fish which was de-boned for our convenience, which we really appreciated, grilled calamari, greek salad, tzatziki, french fries, grilled bread, beers, ouzos. Meals were not that cheap, but I will say adequate to the top quality of the food. We also got complimentary Baklavas with honey and pistachios on the house, which was just fantastic. Would definitely visit again. Thank you!

Eravamo in 3 accolti come se loro ci facevano un a piacere . 2 ore ad aspettare per due patatine fritte male e due pezzi di carne bruciata. C’erano 5 tavoli in tutto essendo arrivati tra i primi abbiamo visto servire prima la gente locale. Se non sai fare la ristorazione lascia fare ai i altri che gli riesce meglio . Servizio più che scadente , posto squallido. Non lo consiglio assolutamente./ (eng) we were 3 people and they took us in like they were doing us a favour. We waited 2 hours for 2 french fries that weren’t fried at all and 2 burnt steaks. When we went there were only 5 tables and we were the first people to come so we came before the other local people came and i noticed right after they have been served way before us and gave the food a lot before (they only made the food for my kid and husband and they denied i didn’t order anything while i did) this restaurant is my worst experience in the restaurants in Greece.
Driada Lamce — Google review
Worst Greek restaurant experience ever. We had to get a chair cushion from the next table because the waiter didn't give us one. Likewise the cutlery. The food was good but definitely not worth the price. At half past one in the afternoon, the tables were not set, and it only happened after our arrival. No one came to our table for 40 minutes. We didn't have anything to drink, there were untaken dishes on the table, and most of all we were waiting for the bill. After waiting 40 minutes for the bill, I went to the kitchen very angry and no one even apologized. I recommend going to Jimmy's camara about 200m from this horrible restaurant, which you should not go to.

Paulo Nias — Google review
To be honest our dinner was a game of two halves.... the starters were very nice but the mains were disappointing in particular the lamb chops ... out of the 6 ( you'd think generous portion ) one was good , two very small pieces of bone with almost no meat and 3 pieces which were not chops but some other body part ... this wasn't just on one plate but on two, the other dishes which were pork souvlaki were a decent size and tasted as they should . The waiters were fine and prices very fair. I would rate the Old House at 7/10.

Awesome food, nice atmosphere, friendly and fast service. I had the best prawns in my life and my wife had mix of seafood with delicious calamari and octopus. Two of the most expensive plates together with jug of wine and water - best way to spend 50 euros. Totally recommend this place! 4.9 stars at the time of writing this speak for themselves.
