Outstanding food and service. It's the only restaurant we went to twice, since it was just that good. It might be slighty more expensive but well worth it. The slow cooked lamb is the absolute star of the show, we highly recommend it. The service was exceptional and they also have good wines and cocktails.

Wir fühlten uns hier bestens aufgehoben. Griechische und internationale Gerichte, neu interpretiert. Schön angerichtet und sehr gut zubereitet. Wir sind zufällig auf das Lokal gestossen und während unseres Urlaubs auf Zakynthos gleich ein 2x hingegangen; wir haben den letzten Abend im Halfway House verbracht und es nicht bereut. Danke für dieses Erlebnis, das gute Essen und die nette Bedienung. Sollten wir nochmals nach Zakynthos kommen, sehen wir uns bestimmt wieder. Dieses Lokal können wir jeden wärmstens empfehlen!

Heerlijke plek! Samen met mijn vriendin (jong koppel) hier 3x gegeten tijdens onze vakantie. Goede service en genoeg variatie in goede gerechten, tradioneel en een ook heerlijke pasta's. Goede wijnen hebben ze ook. Ze hebben mij vooral omver geblazen met hun steak pasta, stifado, en baklava cheesecake. Zeer goede prijs kwaliteit voor mensen die rustig willen genieten van hun avond.

Loved the resto and the warm welcoming vibes of the owners, the story, the service, the food, it’s like having a fine, warm meal at your family’s house

Wat een fijne ervaring! Afgelopen woensdag genoten van de kip souvlaki en de Sirloin steak, allebei uitstekend bereid. De bediening is gastvrij en erg vriendelijk. We vonden het zo goed dat we meteen voor zaterdag (gisteren) weer gereserveerd hebben. Onze tweede bezoek was net zo geslaagd. Sla vooral de lava cake als dessert niet over!

Amazing! My husband had the sea bass and he said it was perfect and from him that is a very good compliment. I had chicken souvlaki and it was cooked perfectly but no sauces so overall a bit dry. We shared a lemon cheesecake which was to die for. Service was spot on, so polite and attentive. 100% recommended.

Although we’ve been coming here for years this is the first time we’ve visited this restaurant. The food was amazing, beautifully presented and delicious. Staff were very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The restaurant is set in a quiet area of Planos with chilled laid back atmosphere. I recommend booking though because it’s very popular and I can see why 😋 so treat yourself

Love going here. Our favourite meal every time we visit Tsivili.

Everything was incredible food service quality. They had Whispering Angel and just a stunning menu of fresh local produce cooked beautifully. Wish we found this place earlier on our holiday.

The most amazing time here - best pasta we have ever had - the steak pasta is amazing!!! The staff are so so welcoming and friendly and take the time to talk to you. Cocktails and wine also very nice. This was very good value for money and absolutely lovely atmosphere - thank you so much!

Top plek. Wat rustiger gelegen, heerlijk vers eten. Erg vriendelijk en aandachtig personeel. Het was ons jubileum en wij kregen bij binnenkomst een kaartje en een drankje. Zowel de vegetarische gerechten als de opties met vlees deden niet voor elkaar onder. Laatste aanrader: de baklava cheesecake.

Absolutely brilliant. The Kokonisto was next level, belly pork unreal and the lamb shank ridiculously good. One of us even declared the grilled salmon the best meal she’s ever had 😂 And the main man knows his wine — we trusted him with the choices and he absolutely nailed it 🍷 Proper food, great people, great night. 👌

google

Kokonisto was incredible — genuinely the best we’ve ever had. Belly pork was unreal and the lamb shanks were soooo good. One of us had the grilled salmon and announced it was the best meal she’s ever had in her life… 🐠 And a special mention to the main man — not only a great host, but great at choosing the wine. 🍷 Top-notch food, brilliant hospitality and a proper Greek meal. Halfway House absolutely smashed it. 👌🇬🇷 We’ll definitely be back!

google

What can I say. This is fabulous in every way. The food is superb, the service is super attentive and caring. The wine recommendation for the main course was perfect, and the location meant we walked along the beach to get back to our accommodation. We had the Halloumi, and grilled king prawns to start. Then the Beef Cheeks Stifado and Belly Pork. Portions sizes were perfect for us. If you don’t visit you are missing out.

Hands down the best restaurant in Tsivili. I last came here 7 hears ago and Hands down, the best restaurant in Tsivili. I last came here 7 years ago, and Tsivili has changed quite a bit since I remembered it. So when I returned to The Halfway House—my favourite restaurant from my previous visit—I expected that maybe this place would have changed too. Thankfully, it hasn’t. And that is the best thing I could have hoped for. The Halfway House has stayed humble while maintaining an exceptional standard of food, quality and service. They haven’t tried to cram in more tables or turn it into something it isn’t, and that genuinely does not go unnoticed. I was completely blown away all over again and reminded exactly why this is a place I’ve cherished for years and recommended to anyone who tells me they’re visiting Zakynthos. The staff are absolutely incredible. Warm, welcoming and genuinely make you feel like part of the family. Seven years later, it’s still every bit as special as I remembered—and that is something truly worth celebrating. I’ll continue to cherish this place and recommend it to everyone.

Beautiful restaurant 2 minutes walk from our hotel. I reserved a table via their website for our 15th Wedding Anniversary. We received a complimentary glass of prosecco each and an anniversary card. The food was fabulous, the staff were friendly and overall a lovely evening. Very popular restaurant. Easy to see why.

By far the best restaurant on the island. We have eaten here 3 times and booked again before we leave. We are celebrating our honeymoon and this was the first restaurant we wanted to eat at. The team are incredible, friendly, knowledgeable and professional - if want to eat anywhere - put The Halfway House on your list, ITS A MUST VISIT RESTAURANT WHILST IN ZANTE.

Virkelig god oplevelse! Stedet er særligt godt, hvis man har allergier, da de er gode og hurtige til at spørge ind til, om der er noget, man ikke kan tåle eller spise. Stedet ligger lidt væk fra byen, så der er ingen larm, og det gør det til et virkelig hyggeligt og roligt sted. Maden havde virkelig god smag, er oplevelse vær

Ons lievelings restaurant in Zakynthos!! 🥰🥰🥰

Dit is echt een restaurant als je “uit eten” wil gaan, niet zo’n massale eetschuur, maar echt een beter restaurant met mooie porties en de kwaliteit van een iets hoger niveau. Verscholen in een straat achteraf, doemt daar ineens het prachtige sfeervolle restaurant op, nadat je op een vriendelijke manier welkom wordt geheten begint het echte feest, bediening is uiterst vriendelijk en de ruimte om de tafels is ruim daardoor zeer sfeervol. Echt één van de wat betere restaurants van Planos

google

A Little Gem of a restaurant tucked away. From making our reservation with Tim we had an amazing meal. The ambience and service was of a top class restaurant and the food was spectacular. Can’t wait to visit again….

Twee keer wezen eten in een week Zakynthos. Wat een geweldige tent. Heerlijk eten, goede sfeer en een hele vriendelijke bediening. Enige nadeel zou zijn dat hij voor Griekse prijzen wat aan de hoge kant is.

I booked this restaurant before our trip after seeing so many great reviews on TikTok, and it exceeded every expectation! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, everything was absolutely perfect. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was outstanding – every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. I highly recommend the beef carpaccio, prawn saganaki, lamb shank, and pork belly – they were all exceptional. We enjoyed it so much that we booked to come back for a second evening during our stay, which says it all! We would definitely return in the future. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our experience so memorable. It was everything we hoped for and more!
