The seafood was incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. We especially loved the grilled octopus and the sea bream, which were cooked to perfection.

This was truly one of the best meals we had in Rhodes. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place to visit. The restaurant has been in the family for 100 years. Lovely fresh fish and the jug of house wine was delicious. Very family friendly with a warm welcome. Highly recommend the fresh fish of the day

Fabulous 100 year old fish (and meat) restaurant. Take the catch of the day for 65€/kg (it's always a kg) that feeds two, and get to choose your fish in the fridge. The geek salads are enormous, so share one for starters. Very nice staff. Book a table to get Seaview. We were first ill advised by the hotel staff.

Wow wow wow: still shocked and can't believe.The service: both brother and sister were nice, kind and professional (see how they cut regular fish into fillet - we were amazed 🫨 😲).The food: wow! So much food for only eight people - food so good.Fish: the best.Sea food: dreamy.Fillu pastry with feta and honey: heaven.Dessert: on the house.Drinks: whatever you choose to drink. Good luck!
