Nestled a short stroll from the bustling corners of Rhodes, this family-run spot offers a gentle respite from the tourist crowds, where the subtle sounds of the sea mingle with easy conversation under the shade of simple awnings.

The air is often carried by a light breeze, especially on their inviting outdoor terrace where the setting sun colors the sky in soft apricot hues. It’s a place where the pace slows naturally, allowing the humble yet confident flavors of the kitchen to take center stage. Here, dishes arrive with care and a quiet pride, reflecting generations of Greek culinary traditions and local ingredients — from freshly caught octopus and comforting stews to vibrant salads and house-baked breads that beckon to be shared.

18/8/24 Visited this family restaurant again!! A table outside with a wonderful sunset view. The vine tomatoes and local pitta were amazing. The linguine vongole is definitely one of the best in all my years of travelling to Italy, Greece, UK and the USA!!! I asked the chef how he achieved the perfect flavour balance!! The UMAMI was incredible. The family really cares and has passion, pride and professionalism. The restaurant itself is well appointed with background gentle music adding to the ambience. This family restaurant continues to attract business and pleasure dinners! Why? The quality of the home baked meat, fish and vegetarian options is amazing!! Amazing flavour, value and service. It's always busy and the daily kitchen specials always shine I have eaten here several times because there is never a risk of bad food or drink. The owners and family care a lot about every detail. We love this place. Excellent????????????????????????Best wishes Harry

I have been here and there, eaten some food around a lot of corners but here I get the best calf's liver in my life. Highly recomended. If you read it you should probably skip the Old Town and come here.

We came here as it was near a restaurant we thought to go.."la terrazza" just nearby. But the other restaurant was dark and unappealing. So we go here. The service was fast. It would have helped to have some fan, in the restaurant, to ease the very hot temperature. The food was good but a tad expensive the pasta with vongole I choose were having leeks inside with the onions, and no tomato at all. Didn't liked the taste of the leek. Too sweet. The kebab of my wife was good. The cod and chips of my daughter was good too. The service was fast. The place was too hot. The price was a little high compared to other places we've been. But overall to try.

Overlooking the sea with a nice breeze, seated in the shade with chilled music, and delicious food. The perfect way to avoid the heat and tourists in the old town and only 1 min walk away. Service is lovely, food is fantastic! Will be definitely be back

A lovely restaurant - particularly if you’re in need of a quality meal before/after a ferry. Food is very good, house wine is well above average, ambience is gentle with a great view. Also helped feed us quickly and grab us a taxi before a flight - very grateful for their wonderful service.

Returning to Rhodes after a few weeks we decided to try this restaurant which we had walked past on the first stretch of our holiday but it was closed. The interior is lovely with views over the harbour from the window tables. It was empty on our arrival but got busier later. We were welcomed by a younger guy and our litre of wine was provided. We started with a green salad and aubergine sabanaki, both delicious. Later the calves liver was enormous served with roast potatoes and rice, pronounced excellent. I had beef stew also lovely. Complimentary baclava and Mastic were a lovely finish to an excellent meal, all for 47 euros.
