Great food quality. It is rare to find a restaurant in Tsilivi to satisfy also the locals who we obviously know about good Zakynthian Greek food. There are also Vegan and vegetarian options. The sweets are very tasty. It is away from the "noise" of Tsilivi and therefore you can enjoy a relaxed dining experience with quiet music (Jazz, house) We had an amazing experience.

Επισκέφτηκα για πρώτη φορά αυτό το εστιατόριο στη Ζάκυνθο και πραγματικά ξεπέρασε τις προσδοκίες μου! Το φαγητό ήταν πεντανόστιμο, με αυθεντικές γεύσεις και φρέσκα υλικά, ενώ η εξυπηρέτηση ήταν ζεστή και φιλική .Σε κάνουν να νιώθεις σαν στο σπίτι σου. Η τοποθεσία πανέμορφη, ιδανική για να απολαύσεις το γεύμα σου. Αν βρεθείτε Ζάκυνθο, αξίζει σίγουρα μια επίσκεψη. Εγώ πάντως θα ξαναπάω σίγουρα!

Siamo stati in questo ristorante e l’esperienza è stata davvero splendida! Abbiamo iniziato con delle polpette di zucchine gustosissime, leggere e piene di sapore, che ci hanno subito conquistato. Poi abbiamo assaggiato la pasta, sorprendentemente autentica e deliziosa: una qualità che ci ha ricordato la pasta tipica italiana, anche se eravamo in Grecia, e non essendo un piatto della tradizione italiana. Infine, su consiglio della cameriera, abbiamo preso un dolce tipico greco: davvero squisito, la chiusura perfetta di una cena indimenticabile. Un elogio speciale va a Manon: attenta, sorridente e disponibile in ogni momento. Ci ha seguiti con grande professionalità e gentilezza, consigliandoci al meglio e facendoci sentire come a casa. La sua accoglienza ha reso la serata ancora più piacevole. Un ristorante che consigliamo senza alcun dubbio: ottimo cibo e servizio impeccabile!

The Halfway House is always the first restaurant we book as soon as we arrive back in Tsilivi. The restaurant is first class and cannot be bettered. The staff are so professional and notice every little detail, attentive, friendly but not overwhelming. The menu has enough choice for every person, and the quality is superb. We have visited several times and will return next year. A place not to be missed.

Unbelievable!!! Wow! Some of the best food I've ever eaten. Unbelievably good, easily the best meal we've had in Greece. I just wish we had found out about it sooner. Amazing ambience, thoughtful staff and really the best meal you could ask for.

Wir waren während unseres Urlaubs gleich zweimal im Halfway, weil es uns so gut gefallen hat. Das Essen war jedes Mal richtig lecker, frisch und schön angerichtet. Die Karte ist abwechslungsreich und man findet immer etwas, worauf man Lust hat. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die Gastgeber – unglaublich freundlich, herzlich und immer aufmerksam. Man merkt einfach, dass sie sich Mühe geben, damit man sich wohlfühlt. Dazu kommt das schöne Ambiente, in dem man sofort entspannen kann. Auch preislich absolut fair. Wir können das Halfway wirklich jedem empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Food was amazing. We had the braised beef cheeks, honey glazed pork belly (massive portion that I couldn't finish), and salmon. The aubergine appetizer was delicious as well. Service was excellent. If you are staying at Mamfredas, it is right across the street!

Esperienza piacevolissima! Accoglienza della proprietaria molto gentile e professionale, che ci ha presentato le loro varie opzioni vegan e veganizzabili con la massima disponibilità, facendoci sentire coccolati. Ambiente curato ed elegante, personale impeccabile, piatti ben presentati. Come opzioni vegane, abbiamo assaggiato: verdure ripiene di riso (tipiche greche), insalata di barbabietola con spinaci baby ed arachidi caramellate (deliziosa), melanzana al forno e puree di fava e di barbabietola. Nota di merito aggiuntiva: hanno anche vini dealcolati interessanti. Lo consiglio a chi, come noi, cerca qualcosa di raffinato e rilassante, diversamente da ciò che offre la maggior parte dei locali di Tsilivi/Planos. Complimenti, alla prossima!

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. 🥂🍴

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!

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

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!

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!

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)

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.
