Fine dining Zante style. The staff was spot on. We had to cancel our first reservation due to me having a migraine attack. When we came back and mentioned our name for the reservation they welcomed us and asked if I was feeling better. That deserves bonuspoints in my book. The food was amazing as was the ambiance and the staff. Dress up a bit and make a reservation other wise you will miss out. Ps the baklava cheesecake is scrumptious.

Tolles Ambiente, sehr gute Service und das Wichtigste: von der Vorspeise bist zum Dessert, alles selbst gemacht, griechisch, authentisch und köstlich

Wat een geweldig restaurant! Wij hebben hier zo ontzettend lekker gegeten, dit is zeker 1 van de beste restaurants van Zakynthos! Blij dat de dame van ons hotel ons dit aanraadde! Het personeel is super aardig en de sfeer is top en het restaurant ziet er heel leuk uit! Wij raadden dit restaurant zeker aan!

google

Ik denk dat dit in mijn top 3 komt van beste restaurants ooit. Het eten, de ambiance, de geweldige vriendelijke service: alles is perfect. We hebben gelijk voor de volgende dag een reservering geplaatst; nergens in de regio gaan we namelijk een beter restaurant vinden dan hier.

We have just spent a week in Tsilivi - our first time there - but over the years we have spent countless holidays in Greece across the islands On every holiday we eat out regularly, always trying a different place each night where we can and this one was no different. The choice in Tsilivi as a whole is fantastic - too much for just 1 week really - so this wasn't an issue for us. However, after finding Halfway House on TripAdvisor and seeing it was the #1 rated in the area we had to give it a go. We did - it was incredible - and so we just couldn't resist a 2nd visit on our last night 🙂 Incredible is an understatement really when it comes to here. Greek food never fails to disappoint no matter where you eat it in Greece, but Halfway House pushes it to the next level. This is a proper restaurant with an extensive and impressive wine list (most of which is Zakynthian) that really would not be out of place in the centre of London. The service is impeccable and the food, well, on both occasions it left us speechless. Seriously impressive - freshly cooked Greek and Mediterranean food but done so, so well. The homemade lemon meringue pie and orange pie (see picture) is an absolute must! Personally, given the quality of food and wine, I think Halfway House is excellent value for money and worth every cent. Yes, it is slightly more expensive than a place up on the main strip or in the centre of Tsilivi, but it really will not break the bank and you simply will not find food like this anywhere else in the area - I dare say on the island as a whole If you appreciate good food, good wine and are excited by proper Greek food then this place is a must visit whilst in Tsilivi. Be sure to book in advance on their website to avoid disappointment - it's unsurprisingly very popular! Thanks to all the staff and management of Halfway House. You have a really special place there - never let it go. We will be back!

Super lekker en goed eten! Je moet echt reserveren van tevoren want het zit altijd vol en ik begrijp nu waarom. Heerlijk gezeten, erg gezellig rustige griekse muziek op de achtergrond. Toprestaurant, toetjes waren ook echt heerlijk!

Twee keer hier gegeten. Zit uit de loop van de doorgaande weg. Het personeel is vriendelijk en professioneel. Eten is wat ons betreft het beste wat we in Tsilivi gegeven hebben. Als je zeker wilt zijn van een plaats moet je reserveren. Echt een aanrader.

We stayed on Zakynthos for 7 nights and ate dinner here 3 times. Everything was perfect, we tried lots of different dishes and wine and they were all great!

I'm sat on the plane home to the UK, day dreaming with fondness of the delicious meal I had here with my partner last night. A reservation is advised for this slightly out of the way, but justifiably popular restaurant. On our second visit, we again stuck to pasta dishes, the prawn linguine especially was so delicious that every mouthful was tinged with sadness as it brought you a step closer to finishing it. Credit where credit is due, the chefs & serving staff obviously take care and pride in what they are doing here. The traditional homemade desserts were a perfect end confirming at least one visit here is highly recommended. All other eateries in the same area pale by comparison in terms of welcome, service and quality.

Sehr aufmerksame Bedienung und toller Service! (Fragen nach Allergien, Hilfe bei Reservierung.) Speisen sind zwar teurer als in anderen "Tavernen" dadurch, dass es so professionell und hochklassig ist jedoch vollkommen in Ordnung.

Recommendation from @thelazytraveller The best meal we’ve had in Tsilivi so far. Very busy when we arrived and we hadn’t booked but after a short wait Dionisis found a table for us. We started with the trio of home made dips and pitta followed by lamb shank and Gemista. The portions were generous and the wine pairings recommended by Timotheos were spot on. Not fancying the walk back to our hotel they kindly ordered a taxi for us home, nothing it seems is too much trouble for this wonderful establishment. Would highly recommend booking so you don’t miss out on this exceptional restaurant.

Ross King 09/09/2024

the food here is so good, it made me decide (a five year vegetarian) to try the grilled chicken…and it was PERFECT. if you want amazing food and great service, this is the place. cocktails are unique, especially the pink aperol spritz! the waiters are so polite, humorous and speak english extremely well. the atmosphere is pleasant and very relaxing. we would have taken photos of our meals, but it just looked and smelt too good- we had to tuck in straight away!

Beth Smith 08/09/2024

What can I say, fabulous food, atmosphere & extremely clean. The staff are lovely - they make you feel at home but with a professional manner, after visiting many restaurants recommended to us, this by far stands out - hence why we came back 3 nights. Traditional Greek food made to a high standard, thank you we will be back again

We have dined here for many years and the Halfway House never fails to provide excellent food and drink. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive. This particular visit I had the prawn linguine followed by lemon meringue pie. I can highly recommend both these dishes. A trip to Tsilivi is not complete without a visit to the Halfway House. Yamas!

Unico posto che ho trovato sui 25-30€ di budget che non fosse una trappola per turisti Il cibo è delizioso e leggermente particolare, anche se un po’ più costoso della media ma la qualità ripaga A fare davvero la differenza però è il personale, gentilissimo, disponibile, simpatico e per nulla invadente Top posto! Ps eravamo quattro ragazzi turisti che volevano fare una cena carina e con antipasto o dolce e primo/secondo ci siamo riempiti (anche se non da scoppiare) I piatti migliori senza dubbio il salmone e il dolce della casa (tipo biscotto con crema, vaniglia e ciliegie)

google

Lovely restaurant. No one at the entrance beckoning you in. Quiet location. Good job we booked as it was full. Nice selection of drinks. Food is fantastic, excellent quality. Not massive portions but adequate. Service excellent. A little more expensive than the restaurants in the town but well worth paying the extra. Its a 10 from me.

Безумно найкраща вечеря за весь відпуск! Камеральна атмосфера, прекрасне обслуговування! Дуже рекомендуємо grilled salmon

The Halfway House in Zakynthos is a true culinary delight. The quiet, cozy location creates a perfect intimate setting. Their hospitality is exceptional - they went above and beyond for our birthday celebration with a personal touch. The food is fantastic, with generous portions and thoughtful extras like refilling pita for dips. Main courses were so good we sadly had no room for dessert! Service is top-notch and incredibly friendly. The staff's warmth and attention to detail make you feel truly special. A must-visit for anyone in Zakynthos looking for great food in a charming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back to try those tempting desserts!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We found this place through google reviews when we were looking to eat somewhere nice! What stood out was it was a place for foodies! I would recommend making a reservation. We didn’t and only had to wait 10 minutes but it is a popular restaurant. We understood why! The food and cocktails were delicious. I would recommend to anyone in the area looking for yummy Greek food. Would be back if we went back to Zante.
