After what seemed a lifetime of finding the needle in the haystack we finally found Marco Polos in the back streets of Rhodes town. All I can say is it’s well worth the effort as everything fell into place for a perfect night food service and atmosphere were all top marks. The setting is perfect to enjoy top class food. I must recommend the beef tartar it was unforgettable and the wife said the same for the lamb starters and mains. Thank you for a wonderful night

the BEST restaurant in Rhodes. Everything was delicious. It's not traditional Greek food, but using still some local produce. The restaurant it's like an inside garden/terrace, beautifully decorated. The most pricey of the dinners that we had during our stay BUT still quite cheap considering the quality and ambience. Perfect for a last night in Rhodes, or if you just want to have a fancy dinner in the city, in the heart of Old town.You however do need a reservation!

Not only was this the best meal we had in Rhodes, but it was one of the best meals we've had in general for a long time. The lamb chops and seafood were all fantastic, and the desserts were creative and delicious too. €130 total for 3 courses each, a bottle of white wine and one glass of red, including a tip. I did get a number of mozzie bites sitting in their garden though - be warned!

Delicious food and amazingly priced. Tucked away in a small street Marco Polo was an excellent way to spend our evening. Staff were lovely and the food was even better. €113 for two people including drinks was for us a cheap meal considering the quality and were else we had eaten in the Greek islands. Will definitely visit again.
