The Olive Tree Restaurant
Loggos

The Olive Tree Restaurant in Loggos has a reputation for excellent food with a menu that provides a wide range of Greek, Mediterranean and Vegetarian dishes to suit all tastes. Its setting has a great atmosphere and is a place where you can spend as long as you like to enjoy your food and wine and perhaps warm peaches delicately marinated in Metaxa (Greek brandy) followed by a coffee and liquor. Its a great place to celebrate that "Special Occasion".

You will find The Olive Tree Restaurant to the right of the small church on Loggos harbour front.

After hearing about this new restaurant in Loggos and reading glowing report about the prawns, I was really looking forward to trying it for myself when we went to Paxos in July - I wasn't disappointed!!! The menu's certainly a bit different from the usual Greek fare. I wasn't expecting chicken curry in Loggos and eventually had to try it out on about our third visit. Wasn't bad, but I think it will improve when the poppadums, which we were assured were "on order from Athens" arrive. The giant prawns were every bit as good as I'd been told and come in two different varieties - with lemon and garlic or in a light tempura-style batter with sweet chilli dip. I had to try both to make sure that they were both as good as each other. My other favourite starter was the Bloody Mary Soup (I had that twice as well!) When I first ordered it, I asked if the vodka was already mixed into it or if it was served in a glass on the side. The reply was "neither - you get a bottle" - and I did! A bowlful of delicious freshly-made tomato soup (not a bit like Heinz!) and a full-size bottle of vodka which was left on the table to help myself to!!!! Definitely a 5-star starter! Favourite main course was the warm feta and bacon salad with balsamic dressing - well I had to have something a bit healthy in between the boozy starter and pudding. Naturally my favourite pudding was every bit as boozy as the starter - warm peaches, served in a clay bowl with about an inch of Metaxa in the bottom. You even get straws so you don't have to waste any! They do have some traditional Greek dishes on the menu, like moussaka, lamb kleftiko, Greek salad and tzatziki, but I think that this is definitely somewhere to go when you fancy something a little bit different. Oh and I must also mention the watermelon draped with about half a pound of parma ham - yummy! They'd only been open a couple of months when we were there, but were already building up quite a reputation. I went round at about 8 o'clock one evening to try and reserve a table for later and was told that every table was already reserved! That was on a Sunday night (last evening for a lot of people) so if you want to eat there on a Sunday, book early. Yes, we liked it and yes, we'll definitely be back next year.

I Visited Paxos last September (2005) the best place to eat was the Olive tree in Gaios (which has now moved to Loggos) reading the other reviews the menu sounds the same. We went back a few times as we stayed in Paxos for 2 weeks. I had the giant prawns with lemon & garlic, Chicken Curry, Tzatziki, Bloody Mary soup and the Paella and every dish was cooked to perfection. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the island. :)
