Veruit het beste restaurant van onze vakantie in Zakynthos! Eten, wijn en cocktails zijn top, personeel is professioneel en vriendelijk en er hangt een heerlijke rustige sfeer! Voorgerecht beef carpaccio is de beste carpaccio die we ooit gehad hebben!

✨ The Halfway House = Amore a primo assaggio ✨ Pane fragrante e olive saporite per iniziare, pasta deliziosa, carne tenera e succosa, il tutto accompagnato da un vino eccellente 🍷. Sapori autentici, qualità altissima e servizio impeccabile. Un’esperienza da ricordare e ripetere. 🥂🍴

Echt geweldig hier. Erg goed restaurant in Zákynthos. Zeer Goede wijnen en gerechten. En de bediening is grandioos. Een heerlijke avond hier en voor herhaling vatbaar 👌🫶🏻

google

Dit is hoe een restaurant hoort te zijn; heerlijke gerechten, mooi opgemaakt, fijne porties, goede wijnen en cocktails, klasse personeel en een gastheer met aandacht voor iedereen. Dit familierestaurant hebben we ooit eens toevallig ontdekt en sindsdien komen we er, als we op Zakynthos zijn, meerdere avonden uit eten. Tip: hou wat ruimte over voor het dessert!

google

This is by far the best restaurant in Zakynthos!

google

Wat een leuk restaurant , verborgen in de straatjes van tsilivi niet ver van het hysterische centrum, de bediening is heel vriendelijk en proffesioneel. Het eten is heerlijk, er is duidelijk meer zorg en aandacht voor wat er op je bord ligt. De prijzen liggen ietjes hoger dan de traditionele tavernes, maar niet te duur. Reserveren is in het hoogseizoen denk ik wel een aanrader

google

Beautiful setting, chilled atmosphere, great food and attentive staff.

Restaurant met klasse!! Heerlijke sfeer,eten is geweldig! Personeel met kennis, gaan er deze week nog een keer eten! Tip: reserveren

Posto delizioso. Ambiente pulito e curato, servizio impeccabile, cibo ottimo. I consigli del responsabile di sala (persona garbatissima e professionale) perfetti. Mi sento di consigliare il polpo su purè di fave, cipolla caramellata e polvere di paprika....superlativo! Lo consiglio vivamente!

google

Fantastische ervaring. Héérlijk eten, goede bediening, echt een aanrader.

Det blir trist å reise fra våre nye venner på denne koselige restauranten. Første gang på Zakynthos og første 3 besøk her. Rolig stemning og super hyggelig. Får lyst til å flytte hit pga maten og menneskene vi møtte her. Eieren er så omsorgsfull og empatisk. Virkelig en god opplevelse for alle - så ingen som hadde en dårlig kveld her.

The Halfway House is my favourite restaurant on the island! I return every summer when I visit Zakynthos. The service is always fantastic and attentive—everyone greets you with a smile and is incredibly polite. The food is absolutely superb and mouthwatering! You can tell from the presentation that every dish is prepared with care and attention to detail. My husband always goes for the honeyed pork belly, while I like to try something different each time. My top two favourites so far are the beef pasta and the grilled salmon—the flavours are perfectly balanced and truly unforgettable. The wine selection is excellent, and although Tsilivi can be quite busy, the restaurant is located in a quiet, peaceful area, which makes it ideal!

Cena in ambiente elegante, con un servizio attento e impeccabile. Le portate abbondanti e sapientemente cucinate, una grande cura nei dettagli e una grande attenzione per il cliente ci hanno regalato una splendida serata. Straconsigliato!

Thank you to Halfway House, my fiance and I went in just after opening for a snack and cocktail and they were lovely. My partner even requested something on the evening menu but they were kind enough to cook it for her. Food was great as were the cocktails but the service and atmosphere were something you should try.

A unique experience so much more than just dinner! Halfway House isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience. From the moment you walk in, you feel the care and attention to detail. The dishes are outstanding well-balanced flavors, top quality ingredients, and perfect execution. Every bite is a delight. If you’re looking for something beyond the ordinary, I highly recommend it!

Bel posto, considerato gli standard degli altri locali, che sono più un genere "acchiappaturisti". Personale molto gentile, pur senza essere stucchevole, buona selezione di vini e personale preparato sull'argomento, qualità del cibo molto buona, porzioni giuste, forse il prezzo un po' alto (anche se non esagerato)

One of the best restaurants on the island with amazing food and cocktails

Amazing food, brilliant staff, don’t think it’s possible to find a better eating experience In Tsivili, can’t wait to re visit in a couple of days

Eine absolute 10/10. Gemütliche Atmosphäre abseits des sonst manchmal recht hektischen, touristischen Ortes. Unglaublich freundlicher Chef mit zuvorkommendem Personal. Die Qualität der Speisen hervorragend, die Preise dafür wenn überhaupt günstig. Empfehlung ohne jegliche Vorbehalte, ein traumhafter Abend.

Heerlijk, niet overvol, gemoedelijk, vriendelijk personeel maar vooral heerlijk gegeten. Echt een aanrader om geweest te zijn in Tsilivi.

Great resturant highly recommend. We had the fillet steak cooked to perfection. Steak pasta which was in a sauce that was unreal Service was quick. You will need to book a table as it is a very popular place, you will not be disappointed 🙂

google

The food was amazing (yes, a little pricey, but worth it), and the staff was very friendly and vivacious. I gave only 4 stars for service because I had asked the hostess to help with a surprise for one of our friends — to put a candle on a cake — but she not only forgot about it, she also came to the table and asked about it out loud, ruining the surprise.

google

Un restaurant deosebit.Se vede grija la detalii si atentia. Un pic mai scump decat media, dar merita.

google

I visited this restaurant twice during a 14-day vacation, and both visits were fantastic. The food and drinks are a little pricier compared to other places in the area, but the quality makes it completely worth it. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the dips for two, which were a real standout. The service was amazing as well. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. They even offered to pack up our leftover food so we could take it home, which was a lovely touch. Definitely a place worth visiting while on holiday in Tsilivi!

Great service, classy location, nice people and good food. Totally recommend!

Had a super meal that finished our holiday on a high. Super good, super staff and very reasonable prices give the quality.

The food is exceptional, we tried a few appetizers and a pork steak which were extremely tasty to say the least. The service, the attention to details, the atmosphere its exactly what you wish to find when you are on vacation, after a relaxing day in the sun.

I don’t usually take the time to describe why a place deserves 5 stars, however in this case I feel the need to describe a perfect experience. From the welcome staff, to the waiters that pay attention to every small detail to the amazing food served. There is no need to single out any particular food, it has been an amazing experience to try everything that was put in front of us, all cooked to perfection, every bite was smooth and full of flavors. Thank you for the experience

Masă în acest restaurant poate fi considerată o experiență. Ceva fin, îmbinarea gusturilor deosebită. Ne-a plăcut ff mult, a fost singura locație din vacanță unde am luat masa de 2 ori. Recomand cu încredere.

Warm hospitality and delicious food! We had a wonderful dining experience at Halfway in Tsilivi. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the lovely owner and the rest of the staff. The service was incredibly friendly, professional, and personal — it really made us feel at home. A special compliment for the owner and the Dutch lady working there that really made our night! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The wine selection was excellent and paired perfectly with our meal. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a charming ambiance that made the evening even more enjoyable. All in all, a truly lovely experience. We’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommended!

Wir das Restaurant Halfway House uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Wir waren innerhalb einer Woche 2x dort Essen. Die Gerichte sind lecker, kreativ und Preis-Leistung stimmt. Es ist nicht das typische Tavernen-Essen, sondern geschmacklich auf höherem Niveau. Verschiedene Cocktails und Getränke runden den guten Eindruck ab. Der Service ist schnell und nett. Wenn es voll ist, ist es sehr lebhaft und etwas lauter.
