Preview Taverna is a great place to eat seafood in Avithos on the beachfront. The restaurant has its own olive oil and wine, and produces kreatopita pies which are also popular. There was an issue with the bill, but everything else was excellent. The view from the restaurant is great, and the service is fast and polite.
Our meal was excellent. We enjoyed the dolma, sea bream, lamb and meatballs. Everything was delicious. The only downside was that they misplaced our bill, so it was difficult to pay and leave.

Wonderful taverna, amazing food and attentive friendly staff. We ordered a mixture of items and so happy with every dish. Service is lightning fast but you have all the time to eat and drink at your own pace. There are two tavernas in this location of which both are amazing. Such a beautiful spot by the sea with easy parking.

Such a lovely place. The location is perfect at the seafront with views of the island. The decor is light and airy with a seaside vibe. Service is superb. So friendly and welcoming and all speak excellent English. We had mussels and homemade frites with local bread and amazing olive oil called 'Karli'. Absolutely superb and a must visit ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are near to Avithos it's the best for lunch. Great quality of food they were all fresh both vegetables and seafood. Portions were good enough. Service was also kind and friendly. It is definitely one of the best restaurants/taverna in Kefalonia and normal price of course. I visited lots of different restaurants during my holidays but it was the best. I recommend with no doubt. I have to mention also that the parking is a problem there.

Excellent. The same people who run nearby Sarris winery also operate this restaurant — this one was the first establishment of theirs. The food is of excellent quality: the Greek salad featured some feta cheese served as crumble, delivering a consistent and beautiful taste. The aubergines were a pure delight, nicely juicy and much flavourful of the tomatoes it had been cooked in. The grilled squid was fresh from the sea, a huge portion for a starter — and tasted delicious. Crunchy and yet with a slight salty taste as well as some traces from the grill. Service was super friendly and the sound of the waves arriving at the nearby beach made the entire lunch a very pleasant experience.

The restaurant Milos offers stunning views of the ocean, with fresh and delicious Greek cuisine. The owner, Fondas, is very friendly and makes sure you have everything you need. He is also great at remembering what customers didn't like about previous visits - a nice touch!
We ate here on 3 of our 10 nights in Kefalonia, it was so good we just had to keep returning! Very reasonably priced, food was outstanding, always a recommendation about what was freshest that day, and all fish caught by the owner that morning. Honestly the best fish I've ever had. Service was friendly, sometimes a bit slow but everything was cooked fresh so we didn't mind, also this seems to be the Greek way so we were happy to comply! Lovely owner, very hard working. Would love to visit again in high season for the music! Brilliant food, thank you! And thanks for the keyring gift!

Beautiful setting and gorgeous food. Ate here twice and both times food was excellent. Calamari and Octopus were so tasty! Hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed dining here. Views are amazing and the setting is well looked after. Would definitely recommend this place and will be returning next time we visit.

Wonderful dinner with a great owner and host. You get a generous amount of food for your money. Make sure you have a good appetite when dining here. Seafood dishes were delicious here. There are plenty of other options too for non-seafood meals and a kid's menu. Our entire family enjoyed Milo's and appreciated how welcoming their staff was. Five stars all the way.

Very friendly place, Fondas the owner is so lovely and looks after you very well. The food is just delicious and plentiful, Fondas even remembered ( from 2 years ago ) that we didn't like oozo , the complimentary drink he offers all his customers so he brought us a brandy and a cherry brandy, what an amazing memory he has! We will definitely be back again next year, can't wait to see everyone again 😍

Lovely restaurant on the seafront, perfect for watching the sunset while eating. The food was faultless, absolutely delicious and the hospitality next to none. We felt so welcome from the moment we arrived, the owner gave a complimentary digestive and even gave us a lift home as we'd had a few too many 🙈 Don't miss out on this gem if you are visiting the area 😊

This restaurant was so so lovely, we went back several times during our stay. The staff were so friendly and the fisherman himself came to show us all the fresh fish options, we had the swordfish and sea bass and they were so delightful. The specials were also delicious as was the tzatziki and pitta side dish in particular. For the amazing service, beautiful views and really affordable prices this place deserves more than 5 stars!

Our favourite place to eat in kefalonia. We went here on the first and last day of our trip, and wish we hadn’t bothered going elsewhere in between. My partner said the fresh fish is the best he’d ever had. Service is friendly and welcoming, and theres a beautiful view of the sunset. Thank you for the memories.

Great place to eat and watch sunset,food lovely fresh and reasonably priced, house wine much better than we thought and very reasonable at €12 a litre!

This restaurant has one of the best sunsets on the island, the planes flying over and taking off just a stones throw away makes the dining experience very unique too. The quality of the food and the price is un matched on the island! We will be back (and this is already our fourth time here). Highly recommend!!

Esperides Restaurant in Kefalonia offers outstanding cuisine that truly stands out among its competitors. Their menu boasts superb dishes, with the meatball appetizer receiving high praise for its quality. The lamb chop and pork with mushroom sauce meals are also exceptional. Even the children's meals are of great quality. The wine selection is perfect, featuring local wines from the island that provide a delightful taste experience.
Friendly restaurant in a picturesque setting. The nicest meal we had in Svoronata and similarly priced to other restaurants in the area .We chose filo feta in honey, G reek cheese balls and a local Greek dip followed by sea bass, pork belly and prawn linguine. We made room for orange cake and orange cheese cake- fabulous! Highly recommended and. Book if you want to sit in the lovely orange grove. Closed Wednesdays.
Brian Holmes — Google review
The staff in Esperidas is extremely friendly and kind. They have a large variety of nice starters, the traditional greek plate is probably the best one. For the main dish we had sea bass, chicken pasta and moussaka. Everything was tasteful and nicely prepared. There could be better dessert menu, but overall it was a great expierence. Recommended!

Your holiday is not complete without a visit to Esperides Restaurant in Svoronata in Kefalonia in Greece 💚❤️ Great Food, Great Service and very reasonably priced. You need to make sure you book your table in advance, well worth the 40 minute walk from our apartment

Turned up quite late for dinner the day we arrived. Definitely the nicest option in this area. Really pretty spot, surrounded by orange trees (unbelievable perfume in May from the blossom) situated on a very quiet road, pleasant owner/staff, superbly cooked lamb chops. Not enormous portions, but sufficient. And NOT with chips, thanks so much, we really appreciated that!

Set amongst an orange grove, this restaurant has a very cosy atmosphere and setting and makes for a perfect evening. The service was impeccable and every single dish we ordered was perfectly delicious! They make all their orange desserts using fruits from the surrounding grove and we highly recommend the orange cake! We would go back just for that 😋

Superb meals. We stayed one week in Kefalonia and this was the one restaurant that really stood out. We ordered the meatball appetizer and it was very good. The lamb chop and pork with mushroom sauce meals were excellent as well. The kid's meals ordered were all good. The wine selection is perfect as it caters to local wines from the island. I had our best white wine at this place during my week stay in Kefalonia. I would recommend to grab a reservation for an earlier seating. We had 9:30 dinner reservations and by that time all of the recommended desserts were no longer available. Also, as others mentioned, request to dine in the orange grove area. Overall, this is a wonderful place to dine for its excellent food, service, and charming atmosphere.

Very cute taverna in the middle of an orange grove. Oranges are everywhere! You are waiting for your food and can take an orange from the tree. Loved the food. Its not only typical greek touristic dishes, but it had more variety of choices. The portions are fair for the prices. Also there were options for vegans and kids menu. Savvas, the owner of the place, is a polite and nice person with sincere smile, who came to greet us in our table. If you are planning to come, better to reserve a table from before. Highly recommend for a romantic dinner, or family dinner.

What a hidden gem - I almost missed the opportunity to try it! My hotel was nearby and every day I noticed lots of cars parked outside and all the tables taken, so I guessed it was worth a shot! The setting is incredible, and I hear that starting June until September they also open another area where the orange trees are… food was excellent, and the quality of the ingredients is second to none. The personnel speaks English fluently and is extremely friendly. Prices are absolutely reasonable, had two starters, a main and half a litre of rose wine for €31.

Stunning place. When booking, ask for the Orange Grove area. Its beautiful 😍 We had stuffed portobello mushrooms and stuffed 3 cheese balls with a kefalonian local tomato salsa. For mains, we had seabass, which was incredible and I had a slouvaki mixed grill which was sensational! The staff were so lovely and friendly and spoke superb English. The setting in the orange Grove was magical and highly recommended. You MUST visit xxx ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This restaurant is and was our top 5 from whole Kefalonia island. We ended eating our first night here because it was just 5 minutes walk from our Hotel (Avithos Resort) and not only food, but atmosphere and service was AMAZING! Food quality was exceptional and tasted like food made by professional chefs. We ended eating here three times in our 8 days holiday just because we wanted to try more of the dishes they had. They have all Greek traditional food but also signature dishes like Pork Loins with Orange Sauce which was super good, they hay Kids menus, vegetarian menus and great deserts. This place is a must in Kefalonia. Don't miss!

Have you considered visiting To Enetiko? I highly recommend it. This charming tavern is situated near the sea and beach, boasting a warm and cozy atmosphere that's truly delightful. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive, making sure to assist you in choosing the perfect dish from their menu. One highlight is their exceptional Tzatziki – unmatched on all of Kefalonia! I urge you to dine here; it will not disappoint.
Very nice dinner and place. I had a huge salad (it serves at least three people) and some very fresh and tasty fried calamari that already came with a small but very good salad. I also hand half liter or white wine (very good wine). Total price was 24€. Service is quick and kind, the location is amazing. I recommend it very very much!

You think about going there? Do it. Really nice tavern, close to the sea and beach. Very friendly, helpful and attentive staff which can help you find the right dish for you if you can not decide which sounds best. It's such a lovely and cozy place which I would call a treasure. And we had the best Tzatziki there from whole Kefalonia! We highly recommend eating there and will definitely come back at our next vacation. Photo shows the fisherman's dish: Grilled sea bass and scampi as well as fried anchovies and white bait.

Cozy place near the beach. I liked the small design touches. The toilets are clean. The waiters are nice and the waiting time is low. The food is good but a pricey. We ate better at lower prices in Kefalonia. We had fish platter for 2 (very good although fried, which was not advertized), greek salad (good), summer salad (missed some flavor), beef steak (a bit chewy).

Dum Spiro Spero is a traditional Greek Taverna located in Svoronata. This family-run establishment offers authentic homemade cuisine, with Spiro himself often serving the delicious dishes. The menu includes specialties such as Kefalonian Meat Pie, Garlic Mushrooms, and Spinach Pie (Spanakopita). Despite its cozy atmosphere, the restaurant can accommodate large groups and even energetic toddlers. The food is exceptional, ranging from appetizers to fresh seafood and a delightful meat pie.

There s a garden beside the terace were the kids were able to play and run around a huge olive tree. Unfortunately we discovered the place in our last day, it was worth coming back.

It is 5 minutes from the airport and there is a gas station, so you can fuel up on tasty Greek food one last time before flying home.

The guy who took our order was very nice, and very accommodating especially when my partner wanted something that wasn't on the menu. If we come to this region on the island again we will definitely come here again.
