Lefkada, Greece Mountain Restaurant “Taverna Dimitris” In Paleokatouna With Views To Nydri And Geni

There are simply 2 Dimitris Tavernas (or Taverna Dimitris) in the nearby Nydri region and people have to now not confuse the two with each other due to the fact they're very specific, both in terms of placing and enjoy. Both also are no longer located in Nydri town however they may be very close.

  • Dimitris Taverna in Paleokatouna (within the mountains to the route of Rachi, approximately 7-10 mins drive from Nydri)
  • Dimitris Taverna in Geni peninsula (on the water, also about 7-10 mins power or boat ride from Nydri)

Dutchman and I were to each Dimistris and each have something special and precise. For this weblog entry, I am posting the Dimitris mountain taverna in Paleokatouna.


I discovered approximately the taverna from the proprietor of Armonia Hotel, the motel we stayed at for our summer season vacation in Nydri marina. I instructed him that I am usually looking for restaurants with a lovable panoramic view and he quick picked this up pronouncing we have to visit Dimitris Taverna in the close by mountain. He even pointed the mountain to me as we could see it virtually from the lodge. Aside from the extremely good views, the food is pretty excellent. He stated that the we just should comply with the Paleokatouna signal from the primary avenue in Nydri and we are able to reach the taverna inside the mountain.

So one night we went here and were happy to discover that there's a large parking region for Dimitris Taverna customers. We didn’t e book a reservation earlier however we have been lucky sufficient to attain a desk at the outdoor terrace. You need to come back early (19:00 for instance) to secure the first-class desk with a view on the terrace.

Speaking of the views, they were the first factor that captured my sight when we set foot within the taverna. The eating place is perched on pinnacle of the hills of Paleokatouna and visitors are able to experience sweeping panoramic views of Nydri and the Geni peninsula. You can see the blue waters, the various sailboats and their masts and and luxurious green surroundings of olive and pine bushes swaying in the wind. It become certainly a bit windy whilst we had been there and I become pretty glad that I delivered with me my relied on shawl.

So we began dinner with grilled candy peppers and a few toasted bread sprinkled in fragrant herbs. The Dutch mom loved the toasted bread and could not stop complimenting it. As we waited for the mains to reach, we entertained ourselves with the cute tableau before us. It became an opportunity for me as nicely to take photos, properly quite a few path, haha!

For our mains, Dutchman settled with a pork souvlaki skewer and inexperienced beans and the Dutch mother, grilled chook with potato fries. I determined to strive the grilled lamb chops and inexperienced beans which I shared with the Dutchman. I typically devour seafood at some point of vacations, but on occasion I consume meat for a change and commonly cannot end it. This is whilst my personal taking walks food trash bin (the Dutchman) comes in handy. I inspire all women and ladies to have one =)

For this dinner, we had been happy to mention that we were satisfied with all the grilled meats, they have been smooth and nicely cooked. The owner of the resort who encouraged us this taverna turned into proper, the home-cooked fashion meals right here is truly appropriate. Plus the outdoor ambiance on the terrace and the perspectives made the whole experience very special and particular, bringing our dinner to a Greek culinary top.

As we had been finishing up, Dimitris, the owner of the taverna, who via the manner acts as the head waiter came to the table and gave us some chilled watermelon slices and domestic-made rose dessert wine. The dessert wine turned into scrumptious and really fragrant. We instructed him we loved the dinner, and that the food changed into very good, and that I want a photo of him. He gladly posed =)

TIP: If you do now not have a vehicle, you may take a cab from Nydri. Walking will likely take 30-45 minutes however do that for dinner and now not for lunch as it could be scorching hot on the street.
