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!

We visited The Halfway House several times back in 2016 on a holiday to Tsilivi and, returning to Zante 10 years later, we knew that we had to go back to celebrate our anniversary (despite being a 45 minute drive to get there). We're glad we did. The food was superb and the service and welcome was as warm as you'll find. A special place indeed.

google

Great experience! Fantastic food. Please take the shrimps as a starter, the best I ever had. As second I had a lamb shank that was so big I could not even finish it. Great wine recommendation too! And luckily not in the middle of Tsivili mainstreet but a bit further so more quietly.

Better is not nassesary! The price-quality ratio is perfect!

Super lekker, vriendelijk en gezellig! Zeker een aanrader 👍👍👍 TOP❤️

Always enjoy going to the Halfway for an evening. Ambience is great, attentive, friendly and relaxed. Great staff all round and food and drink excellent. We will, of course, be returning.

From the start we knew this was going to be great, the manager was extremely welcoming t and professional. Some of the best food we’ve had In the whole of Greece! We ate and drank as much as we could. Highly recommend. 10/10 all round! And fantastic pornstar martini. (Best on the island the manager said, and he was not wrong) We had the bruschetta / prawn saganaki Pork belly and steak pappardelle Chocolate lava cake and baklava cheesecake Empty plates all round.! We will definitely return.

Εξαιρετικό φαγητό , ποιοτικό και γευστικό σε ένα πολύ ευχαριστώ περιβάλλον

Fay Kapeli 16/06/2026

“Υπέροχη εμπειρία! Το φαγητό ήταν εξαιρετικό, φρέσκο και πολύ νόστιμο, ενώ οι μερίδες ήταν γενναιόδωρες. Το προσωπικό ήταν ευγενικό, φιλικό και πάντα πρόθυμο να βοηθήσει. Η ατμόσφαιρα του μαγαζιού ήταν ζεστή και όμορφη, κάνοντας το γεύμα μας ακόμα πιο απολαυστικό. Σίγουρα θα το επισκεφθούμε ξανά και το προτείνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα!” Το στιφάδο ήταν πραγματικά εκπληκτικό! Το κρέας ήταν πολύ τρυφερό και καλομαγειρεμένο, ενώ η σάλτσα είχε πλούσια, παραδοσιακή γεύση. Από τα καλύτερα στιφάδα που έχουμε δοκιμάσει. Συγχαρητήρια στον σεφ!

Het eten is heerlijk en de service is top!

Als je echt een avondje wil dineren in alle rust is dit een zeer grote aanrader! Niet een heel groot restaurant waardoor het lekker knus is met een top bediening! Na het voorgerecht gedeeld te hebben en na het main menu propvol zaten konden we eigenlijk de lemon merengue niet laten staan. Home made en met alle liefde door "mama" gebakken moesten we deze wel nemen!

google

Mein Freund und ich waren heute Abend hier essen. Das Ambiente ist super schön und ruhig gelegen. Das Essen war sehr sehr lecker und das Personal war sehr freundlich. Das Restaurant ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.

google

Wow!!! 11/10!! Me and my boyfriend had a starter, main and dessert and said at the end it was the best meal we’ve had in our lives. Definitely recommend!!

google

We’d booked The Halfway House after reading a review on Facebook and I’m so glad we did! All of the staff were so friendly, you were welcomed like long lost friends. They are very attentive and kind. We chose a local wine to start the evening followed by bread, olives & courgette (zucchini) balls - wow! They were so light, flavoursome and the tzatziki underneath was refreshing. My partner chose the honeyed belly pork (as did quite a few other tables and we can see why) and I had the chicken soulvaki, both tasty, the honeyed belly pork was definitely a show stopper, if your wanting a big meal it may be worth ordering some fries. We ordered the steak pasta for our daughter - they offer any pasta smaller for little ones. I’m so glad she didn’t eat it all as we got to try some! Packed full of flavour too! We were quite full but decided on a pudding and my partner didn’t pick the one I wanted so we had to order two 🤭 lemon meringue pie with lemon sorbet or baklava cheesecake - both delicious! Both great portion sizes! Finished with some shots of lemoncello 🍋 The perfect evening, if you’ve got a spare evening this is the place to go!

Das Beste Restaurant auf Zakynthos Das Essen, egal ob Vorspeise, Hauptgericht, oder Nachspeise- schmeckt einfach unglaublich- eine regelrechte Geschmacksexplosion!!!! Bestes Carpaccio das ich je gegessen habe, und auch der beste Wein den ich je getrunken habe!!! 10 Sterne 🌟

Lovely setting and ambience. Tim and all the staff are friendly and attentive. Food is exceptional. Our visit was perfect as always. A must whenever we are in Tsilivi.

"Every Time we visit Zante the Halfway house is regular visit. It is a treat on hospitality and the food is superb!"

Nico Boom 11/06/2026

it’s hard to explain exactly how lovely the hospitality was but the team here at halfway house should probably teach a course to all other Greek establishments on how to properly welcome guests take care of them and make them feel wanted appreciated and cared for when you get there, order the octopus as a starter, then move onto the lamb shank and wrap it up with the baklava cheesecake! The waiting staff was optimistic, Happy to be there and exceptionally friendly. We came here two nights in a row for dinner. The only complaint that I have is that they are not open for lunch The best greek food I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying.

I came here with my husband for my 40th birthday dinner. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. There’s lots of lovely restaurants in Tsilivi but Halfway House is a step above as the food is outstanding. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a special meal. They even gave me a birthday card which was a lovely touch.
