Ehhh, Pitta? That was what I remember from George's corner! Great family and a great place to read a book with a coke and a souvlaki whilst your Triumoh Tr7 sits there! Ah yes, 1994 was a good year, mostly. If anyone was there in 1994 and remembers Neil & John, please get in touch via www.g0ofb.co.uk (cut and paste it to avoid URL errors!) Yia sou JJ

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.

Have been to Paxos several times and the food has been excellent everywhere we have eaten. Our favourite is Il Mederterrano in Gaios. It is the last taverna on the harbour front - walking towards the new port - after the Coast Guard office. Everything we had was lovely especially the aubergine and cheese starter but the best dish if it is on is a local speciality called ‘male cockerel’ .Other favourites are in Lakka – the Nautilus for fish and the Alexandros for their entire menu!Have had some great meals at the Vassilis in Loggos but in 2006 felt the service was not as good as it used to be and that it had lost some of it’s charm by trying to be more like a ‘restaurant’ than a taverna.

FOUR SEASONS CAFE BAR LOGGOS

 This is the place to go for the best cheesecake ever - Aleka makes the most wonderful light and tasty cheesecake - a day isn't complete without a slice. We are looking forward to returning in June to enjoy once again.

NAUTILUS TAVERNA  LAKKA

Love Greece, love Paxos, love Lakka, love Nautilus taverna! If you like seafood like us, then you must try this taverna, by the side of the bay where the little fishing boats tie up alongside. Fresh fish simply cooked on the BBQ or their seafood risotto, both delicious. Wonderful, will be back soon!

MONODENDRI BEACH BAR & RESTAURANT
This has got to be THE most romantic place on Paxos for a fabulous traditional Greek meal – right on the beach with the sea glinting in the moonlight just below your table, gorgeous food and the best hosts in Ben and his Mum, Eftihia. We’ll be back again later this year!

Nionios in Lakka.

Top food in Paxos is to be found at Nionios in Lakka. Opened in 1945, it is now in the hands of the third and fourth generations. Fresh local produce only. A wide and skilfully prepared variety of vegetarian, meat and fish dishes are all cooked with a wonderful mixture of fresh herbs and served with great friendliness and enthusiasm. You will need to book if you want to be sure of a table. We shall be returning.

Charlie and family.

Nionios in Lakka.

We had a geat quality meal,a real taste of Greece complete with warm and friendly welcome. The kitchen run to see and choose your meal is a fun experience. If you want to finish off with something bit different, stagger over to the bar over the road on the kitchen side (can't remember the name) and try their cocktail Frankie the Monk!

Dolos Fontana

 Fantastic spit roasted meat especially the pork.  Great grilled sardines, beautifully fresh tzatziki.   

Nassos Loggos

 Generally good all round.  Special mention for the gofus fish and the courgette balls.  Speedy service and a lovely position on the harbour side (particularly if you have small children with fishing nets, easy to keep an eye on them)

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. :)

Where do I start? We spent three glorious weeks in Paxos this year getting married and had a party of 40 to entertain for a week. In my experience all Paxos tavernas and bars are a delight, but my particular favourites are: - Taverna Dodos for a quiet relaxed home made meal in a pretty garden in Gaios - Taverna Genesis for a traditional Greek Night and great cocktails in Gaios overlooking the harbour - Vassilis Taverna for amazing spit roast meats just off the main square - George's Corner for the good old fashioned pitta and watch the world go by - Lila's Taverna in Magazina, my personal all time favourite with Thomas, Stefanos and their good wives cooking up a storm every day for the locals. Book a taxi to the Sunset bar for a gin& tonic and then retire to Lila's for Greece as it used to be.... Enjoy Julia Hart x

Nothing beats Rosa de Paxos for the best fish, mussels and prawns. Michelas is the amazing owner of the place and its my favourite restaurant in the world

******************************************

Dodo's Taverna

Dodo's Taverna is by far the most charming place to eat on Paxos. Its Einstein-look-alike host is delightful and his colourful garden is filled with herbs and conversational delights (like pineapples in
a tree). The taverna is enhanced by being away from the shallow harbour front eateries that tend to lack character.

We have been to Paxos seven times staying at Glyfada we love to eat at Gios run by Angelina the food is brilliant Greek food the liver in balsamic vinegar & honey is one of our favourites along with the seafood spaghetti, we also love the Olive Tree and are really pleased it has moved to Loggos save’s a taxi fare to Giaos. The food at Glyfada is really good as well and we are so lucky to be going back again this Summer The best cheesecake is too be found at the Four Seasons in Loggos as are some great ice creams.

***********************

Hello,

We have been travelling to Paxos for many years and would offer our recommendations as follows:
 
Nionios Restaurant, Lakka
 
Traditional and oldest family run restaurant on the island. The food is fantastic - Yannis and his father offer an amazing range of dishes, you will be invited to step into the kitchen and salivate whilst Yannis talks you through the delights on offer, making a decision has never been so difficult!
 
Dishes to suit all, fish, meat, and vegetarian and definitely not the burger brigade! Well worth a visit.
 
Akis Bar and Restaurant, Lakka
 
The opportunity for a sophisticated waterfront meal. We usually book in at Akis for a romantic meal, the food matches any Michelin restaurant and the music is good, well worth a visit, good for lunch too.
 
Genesis, Gaios
 
Great for lunches or evening meals and especially for people watching - located right at the harbour entrance you can while away the hours watching the water traffic comings and goings. Alekos provides an extremely friendly service and puts on a good show of Greek dancing - but be prepared to join in! Well worth a visit.
 
Vasillis, Loggos
 
This is the restaurant where if seated outside and the bus comes past you really do need to move your chair. Again, as with most places on the island the food is excellant, traditional with a twist.
 
Harbour Lights, Lakka 
 
Yannis and his English wife Louise run this vibrant bar and stay open late into the night - very much a locals spot with impromtu Greek dancing as well as an organised night once a week. A good spot to stop for a long cool drink after returning from a day on your hire boat.
