Ottima esperienza, personale cordiale, genuinità e freschezza delle materie prime, bella presentazione dei piatti. Sicuramente si eleva un po' rispetto ad altri ristoranti di Tsilivi.

I recently dined at this lovely Greek restaurant and was blown away by the entire experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the Chicken Souvlaki and the steak. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and you can taste the quality of the ingredients used. The service was impeccable, with the staff ensuring our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed. Their friendly demeanor and prompt service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. Overall, this restaurant exceeded all our expectations. If you're looking for authentic and delicious Greek cuisine served in a warm and inviting atmosphere, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

2 jaar geleden hier geweest en nu in 2024 weer. Nog steeds top! Het eten is van hoge kwaliteit en het personeel bezorgt je een lach. Ook voor de kinderen. Beste restaurant van geheel zakynthos!

This is by far the best restaurant you will find on the island. We went there two evenings in a row. The people working there are very friendly and professional. They are not in a rush like other restaurants. They leave you to enjoy the food and atmosphere. Prices are very good, especially the wine. Make sure to make a reservation, because it is very popular.

The best restaurant in Tsilivi! A must! We were very kindly recommended to try The Halfway House by the chef from another restaurant we had eaten at in Tsilivi on the previous night. We said that we were foodies & looking for an authentic high quality meal using local ingredients. We got exactly this and more! From the moment we read the menu & the engaging yet humble story of this beautiful family run restaurant we could feel The Halfway House was a cut above other restaurants in Tsilivi. We were greeted with the warmest of welcomes & each individual member of staff, could not do enough to make us feel welcome (shout out to Ellie, who went that extra mile, she is a key member of the team & we are grateful to her for her warm welcome). We also had the opportunity to chat with Tim, one of the family & he explained their passion for great food, hospitality and the use of locally sourced ingredients. Food wise we had the garlic prawns & chicken spring rolls with home-made Chili jam to start. Both dishes were stand out! Juicy succulent prawns & the garlic sauce bursting with flour. The spring rolls were crispy, light & the chilli jam delicious. For main course we had Osso Buco & the honey glazed pork. The Osso Buco just melted in the mouth & the quality of meat was outstanding. The pork was succulent & the locally sourced honey used in the glaze was insanely delicious! I could eat it again right now! For dessert we shared the desert of the day, “Frigania”. This is a traditional Zakinthos dish, consisting of a sponge base & a light creamy top with toasted almonds & sour cherries. We had this dish in a couple of other restaurants, however The Halfway House recipe (made that day by no other than Tim’s Mother!) Was outstanding! You could taste the love & care that went into making this dish. All of this was washed down with the best cocktails we had all holiday & a lovely local white wine. A very big thanks to Tim & the whole Halfway House family for a truly memorable evening, both food & hospitality wise. We look forward to visiting you next time we are in the beautiful Island of Zakinthos. Gemma, Graham & Chris from Guernsey

Truly great dinner experience, bit more class and elegance for a nice cost. Ossobuco and zakynthian chicken on pasta with nice wine pairing. Perfect lemon meringue cake and Limoncello as digestive. PS not the halfway house you might expect in the figurative meaning, yet literally a house at halfway of the beach and the main street.

Ristorante molto carino, pulito e il personale carinissimo. Consiglio vivamente la prenotazione (noi siamo andati senza prenotazione e abbiamo dovuto aspettare circa 20 minuti). Piatti ottimi e ben curati, prezzi nella media.

Jeg havde læst en anbefaling, af en anden dansk familie, som havde prøvet The Halfway House. Jeg må til fulde sige, at det lever mere end op til hvad de beskrev. Lige fra man ankommer, kan man godt fornemme, at intet er overladt til tilfældighederne. Den sødeste tjener anviser os et bord. Vi var heldige, at der var et ledigt bord til 2. Bordene bliver dækket sirligt, og bestikket rettes lige til så det ligger sirligt perfekt. Maden er tilberedt til perfektion og smagte simpelthen så godt. Vi fik filet steak med moscato vin til, chokoladekage med vaniljeis og chokoladesovs til dessert. Restauranten er hyggelig og musikken er afdæmpet og passer til stemningen. Tjenerne sørger for at du får den perfekte oplevelse. Tusinde tak for lækker mad. Det er en god ide at bestille bord, så man ikke går forgæves. Havde vi flere dage hernede ville vi kommer tilbage.

Es war bisher das beste Restaurant für uns auf der Insel. Typische griechische Küche, hervorragend zubereitet, sehr frische Zutaten, nicht unnötig gehoben aber trotzdem elegant und einfach herausragend. Perfekte Mischung auf bodenständig und elegant. Besonders hervorzuheben, der baklava cheesecake, großartig 👏.

Halfway House maintains high standards across the board, ensuring a memorable dining experience. While the price may be slightly above average, I found the quality of the food to be exceptional. The Gallic prawns and spring rolls were delightful starters, but the spring rolls with the jam topping were an absolute standout. For the main course, we had for the fillet steak and salmon fillet. The fillet steak was cooked to perfection, and the salmon fillet, although it had the skin left on, was easy to remove and incredibly flavourful. The attention to detail in the preparation of these dishes was fantastic. I must commend the entire team at the Halfway House for their excellent service. The staff were friendly, and knowledgeable. In conclusion, I highly recommend the Halfway House for those seeking a dining experience that combines high standards, excellent food quality, and exceptional service. I look forward to visiting again soon. Well done to the whole team!

Das beste Geschmackserlebnis auf Zakyntos. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr aufmerksam und nicht aufdringlich. Man fühlt sich willkommen. Der Wolfsbarsch mit Rote Bete Creme ist köstlich. Wir kommen wieder wenn wir auf der Insel sind.

Great location and ambience for a summer evening. Super user friendly staff. Although there are only a few vegetarian options on the menu, they informed us that all pastas can be made vegetarian. Gemista was amazing!

Lovely airy restaurant in a quiet side street. Excellent menu, serving brilliantly prepared food by people who know what they’re doing. Nice wine list with good local selections by the glass. Well worth searching out, this could be the best food in Tsilivi.

Bij dit restaurant gegeten op de revieuws afgegaan. Wij vonden het eten oké maar niet beter in verhouding tot de prijs. Personeel was zeer vriendelijk en correct! Eigenaresse daarintegen hing er verveeld bij, kon alleen de gasten aanstaren, zeer onbeleefd. Sfeer is relaxed, al met al oké maar niet voor herhaling vatbaar.

Παρα πολυ καλή εξυπηρέτηση. Υπερτιμημένο σαν μαγαζι κατά τη δική μου άποψη .

Way overpriced for Greece, even when the food, quality and overall vibes was great, still overpriced, 100 euros for 3 courses.

What a gorgeous place! The food was delicious, the wine was fabulous and the staff were great. Really nice evening, would absolutely recommend. We had the gambas to start and the lamb and chicken for mains. The rose prosecco and root of the mountain red wine were great!

What a find! Absolutely delicious food and varied wine list. Timothy and his staff are very attentive. We rate this as our favourite restaurant in Tsilivi

The food was very good. Great cocktails. I only wish that they would serve a little more sauce with their Sirloin steak. It had chimichurri with it, but it was a very very small amount.

ΦΟΒΕΡΑ ΟΛΑ! Εάν είστε στο Τσιλιβι αξίζει να το επισκεφτείτε… Πήραμε την μελωμένη πανσέτα, ζυμαρικά και μια ποικιλία ορεκτικων. Είχαμε ακούσει πολύ καλά λόγια από καποιους ντόπιους, γι αυτό προσπαθήσαμε να πάρουμε όσο περισσότερα πιάτα μπορούσαμε! Το μαγαζι ίσως έχει την μεγαλύτερη ποικιλία κρασιών και το προσωπικό προσφέρει wine pairing, ωστόσο καθώς δεν μου αρέσει το κρασί, προτίμησα να πάρω cocktail το οποίο ήταν εξαιρετικό. Αριστη σχέση ποιότητας τιμής. Επιτέλους ένα εστιατόριο στην ζακυνθο που δεν κοιτάει την τσέπη σου αλλά πως θα περάσεις όντως καλά!
