Watching sport at the Yacht Cafe Bar and restaurant

If watching sport is your way of relaxing, then this seafront restaurant and bar is a great place to unwind during your holidays to Lefkas, as it has a flat screen TV showing sports in a number of languages. You can sit with a cocktail of your own design and eat a variety of club sandwiches, cooked breakfasts or locally sourced fish with salads.

Traditional Greek food at The Old Plane Tree

Local dishes at the Vagelaras Taverna

This family-friendly Taverna situated on the seafront wharf caters for all tastes. Locally caught octopus, mussels or a simple Greek salad with feta cheese are all on offer. The taverna serves seafood platters that are definitely something to tickle your taste buds, and children are welcome.

Wonderful views at Stelios's restaurant

Stelios’s restaurant is famous for its mezze menu that allows you to sample up to 10 plates of food in one sitting. Many people visit this restaurant on a regular basis during their stay in Vassiliki, mainly because of the food but also because it’s found on the water’s edge. It’s a good idea to book a table in advance if you’re planning to enjoy a tasty selection of anchovies, hummus and other mini dishes.

Beachside at Vassiliki Wave

At Vassiliki Wave you can relax in true Greek island holiday style, eating on the beach and looking out across the bay. The Greek and Mediterranean food served here includes a wide range of dishes, from simple snacks to a full dinner, complete with a range of exciting starters.

Mediterranean cuisine at the Alexander restaurant

This delightful restaurant not only caters for those who wish to eat in, but also offers a take-away service. Food at the Alexander ranges from rabbit stifado stew to lamb kleftiko as well as a wide range of tasty desserts, all washed down with a glass of ouzo.

Italian and Greek food at the Miramare

The Miramare, on Vassiliki’s seafront, has amazing views across the marina and is renowned for its wood-fired pizza ovens. As well as pasta and pizza, the restaurant serves octopus with Greek salad, and mussels with salad and chips.

The unusually-named Restaurant Penguins

This restaurant specialises in seafood, but you’ll also find all your favourite Greek meat dishes here too. With a constantly changing menu, which is chalked up on a blackboard, you can choose from a selection of the local fishermen’s catch of the day. If it’s available, the swordfish comes recommended. Alternatively, the traditional moussaka is a menu staple, or just sit back and enjoy a glass of wine and some garlic bread.

The aptly-named Oceans restaurant

Enjoy your evenings with the happy staff at this port-side venue. Grilled tuna is just one of the dishes on offer at this friendly seafood restaurant. Situated by the harbour, with indoor and outdoor seating, you can enjoy a meal with friends or family in comfort here. The fish could be no fresher as it’s caught locally every morning.
