Das Essen ist fantastisch gewesen. Für uns das Beste Restaurant während unseres Zakynthos Urlaub. Gehen Sie lieber hier Essen anstatt bei den Touristen Restaurants an der Hauptstraße. Das Service Team ist ebenfalls erstklassig, sehr nett und aufmerksam. Hier wurde alles bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht. Moderne trifft auf alte Tradition und das ergibt hier ein ganz tolles Konzept. Uns hat es so gut gefallen, dass wir zweimal da waren. Weiterempfehlung 100% 🤩👍

Das Restaurant liegt in einer Seitenstraße und ist daher sehr ruhig und lädt zu einem entspannten Besuch ein. Die Karte bietet griechisch-mediterrane Küche. Die Auswahl an Speisen ist abwechslungsreich ohne zu überfordern. Ebenso die Cocktailkarte hebt sich deutlich vom „Einheitsbrei“ der zahlreichen Restaurants entlang der Hauptstraße ab. Das junge Team von Adrianna und Timmotheus sind sehr aufmerksame Gastgeber ohne überfordern oder Aufdringlich zu sein. Wir waren in unsrem Urlaub zweimal zu Gast und können, jedem, der das besondere in Tsivili sucht nur dieses Restaurant ans Herz legen. Liebe Grüße und alles Gute und Gesundheit für euren Familienzuwachs.

Absolutely delicious food and impeccable service / atmosphere too. This restaurant is totally different from all the others around and is must. We came twice during our 11 nights as the food the first time was superb and wanted to come back on our last night and were not disappointed. The steak pasta was the best meal we had all trip and I’ll be working out how to recreate it at home!

If you want food that tastes like a warm hug, come to Halfway House! From the moment we set foot in the door, we felt at home, from the relaxed but sophisticated atmosphere to the staff who never ceased to make us smile. Thank you so much to everyone who made my 30th special and if you want the best dessert of your life, have the Frigania. It's light, creamy and feels like a stick of cinnamon has gently kissed your taste buds. Again, thank you to all the staff, you guys are the best.

We visited twice in our stay. The second visit was for our friends 31st anniversary. When we arrived we were greeted with 4 glasses of champagne & an anniversary card. We had cocktails outside before being seated. The staff are all unbelievably friendly & so so helpful & knowledgeable about the produce that they are selling. Overall both visits were completely faultless. Can’t rate this restaurant highly enough. Top top place.

10/10! Ik ben niet van de reviews schrijven maar onze avond hier was de buitencategorie! Het eten, de ambiance en zeker het personeel was op elk vlak uitmuntend! Zowel het voor, hoofd en dessert waren alle drie perfect in combinatie met cocktails die ook de goede noot raakten. Mocht je dit lezen en dit restaurant overwegen, ga dan zeker heen!! 10 van de 10!

Absolutely the best high end restaurant in Tsilivi. We have been coming here every year for 5 years and the service and food is impeccable. Would highly recommend the beef carpaccio and the fillet steak. all the staff are excellent but particularly Manon. ❤️

A flawless experience - I visited in a group of 6 and every single one of us was really impressed. Quality of food and drinks, including cocktails was exceptional. The atmosphere and decor was nice, and the service was great - you can see they take pride in every aspect of this restaurant and that really shines through! Definitely recommended. Thank you!

Dit is echt een top restaurant het eten de bediening en het restaurant zelf alles klopt . Je wordt hier echt zeer goed verzorgd. Houd zelf best van een goede wijn Maar heb geen kennis welke wijn bij welk gerecht de smaakbeleving versterkt. Nou de bediening weet hier wel raad mee het was allemaal perfect. The Halfway Housr is echt een aanrader

The Halfway House should rename itself as ‘Different Level’. Fantastic place to dine. Great Ambiance, Food, Presentation and top level Service. Lovely team of people working there who are very accommodating and also trusting as I asked to pay in advance for a surprise wedding meal for my daughter and my new son-in-law and I would return next day to either collect any change or pay any additional costs. They were absolutely fine with this. This was exceptional, making our visit feel on a Different Level. Thank you 🤩

6 von 5 Sternen 🤩 ein absolutes Highlight mit einem so sympathischen Betreiberpaar Schöne Location, toller Service, wahnsinnig leckeres Essen aber auch leckere Cocktails und Weine Der Service scheint sehr gut aufeinander eingespielt, alles strahlen Ruhe aus, chillige Musik dezent im Hintergrund Sie sind auch sehr aufmerksam - zu Beginn würden wir bspw nach Unverträglichkeiten und Allergien gefragt - nicht selbstverständlich Und das Essen - wow - wir waren 2x während unseres Aufenthaltes - optisch toll angerichtet und geschmacklich super - der Lemon Meringue Pie 🤤

Was für ein fantastisches Lokal 💛. Unscheinbar in einer Seitenstraße des Touristenzentrums haben wir auf die Rezensionen vertraut und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Waren gegen 18:00 Uhr ohne Reservierung dort; kein Problem - für eine spätere Zeit würde ich aber dringend eine Reservierung empfehlen. Online kein Problem. Toller Service (wir wurden nach Allergien etc. gefragt die der Koch berücksichtigen müsste) und die Kellner sind aufmerksam, aber nicht aufdringlich. Das Restaurant hat Stil, eine feine Karte ohne zu abgehoben zu wirken und wir konnten uns schwer entscheiden. Letztendlich: tolle crispy rolls, eine Hammer-Lammhaxe ( das Fleisch fiel quasi vom Knochen) und, weil wir auch erwarteten, dass uns das Dessert nicht enttäuscht: Frygania. Preislich genau der Qualität entsprechend jedoch nicht schockierend hoch 😊. Zu zweit für zahlten wir für Bier, Glas Wein, Flasche großes Wasser, Softdrink, Espresso + Pro Person Vorspeise/Hauptgang/Dessert -> ca. 100 Euro und für diesen wundervollen kulinarischen Abend jeden Cent wert! Von Herzen danke an das ganze Team!

Dit restaurant is echt de beste vande regio. Goed eten prima service. Wel aan te bevelen om te reserveren, ook buiten het seizoen. Wij gingen hier eten omdat ik die dag jarig was, en daar werd ook nog even aan gedacht. The Halfway House nogmaals bedankt.

Wow, the food here is incredible! The staff is superfriendly and the prices are reasonable. This is a hidden gem, in a side street, but it's so worth walking into that side street!!! The place was almost full and we could still have a conversation between the two of us.

Voor ons toch wel het beste restaurant op het eiland. Familiebedrijf die het erg goed voor elkaar hebben, verdiept in de wijnen die ze serveren en goed eten op de kaart wat stuk voor stuk goed is samengesteld op elkaar. Ik adviseer je zeker je te laten adviseren welke wijn je het beste bij je eten kunt nemen. Restaurant is niet de goedkoopste van Zakynthos maar voor de sfeer, gastvrijheid en eten meer als waard! Ook niet te groot en een goed team die op elkaar is ingespeeld. Ik denk dat een hoop restaurants hier nog van kunnen leren! Complimenten!

The food was exceptional! The lamb shank was perfectly cooked and came with some of the best mashed potatoes that went really well with it. Don’t miss the carpaccio, it was amazing. The vibe was really friendly, and I’d definitely recommend this place.

Our dinner at The Halfway House was perfect : the restaurant looks wonderful, the service was impeccable and the food was a really nice surprise. In my opinion, the prices do not reflect the quality and high standards of this restaurant. A big bonus was the really good cocktails they are making and also wonderful dessert

Wil je ongedwongen rustig eten in een sfeervolle omgeving, waarbij alles keurig verzorgd is en ook het eten mooi is opgemaakt voor een mooie prijs dan zeker hier heen gaan. Mijn eten vond ik qua prijs iets aan de magere kant . Maar was super smaakvol. Eigenaar kwam vragen hoe alles was. Netjes mijn mening gegeven om zo te verbeteren voor zijn zaak. Kregen netjes nog iets aangeboden van het huis. Super vriendelijk en echt familie bedrijf.

The atmosphere was nice and quiet, the service was amazing and the food as well. The haloumi and tuna tartar were very good. I loved the rigatoni, and my boyfriend enjoyed the pork belly. The lemon meringue pie was fantastic. All in all amazing restaurant
