  Stopped here for early dinner. And ordered the octopus in sauce with pasta which is traditional on the island. The octopus was tender and sauce was deep in flavour. Kids... read more had burgers which were juicy and well seasoned obviously home made although they came with no burger bun which kids expected but they enjoyed them nevertheless. Chips were crunchy and delicious.
We shared lamb chops too and although a little over cooked for my taste they were tasty and fresh. Also sampled the local wine which was a great accompaniment to the meal.
Would recommend and would go back.

  Probably the nicest and most helpful restaurant owners we we've ever encountered. The wife explained to us about different local dishes before we sat at the restaurant and at no... read more point we felt pressed to sit down.
We left and came back later as we had had such a pleasant exchange and liked the team has such passion ('meraki' as they say in Greek) for what they do.

The food was exquisite and we were introduced to an off menu dish, a fried cheese called talagani (similar to haloumi but much tastier).

  The owners of this family restaurant were friendly, passionate about the food and nothing was too much trouble. They brought us samples of their own wine and we had a... read more bottle of the rose which was delicious. Definitely worth a visit in Benitses

  We have just came back and this restaurant was one of the most visited from us. We loved food. They make very tasty apatizeres and main dishes were amazing.
