Palia Plaka Greek Restaurant — Restaurant in Argostoli Municipality

If you’re looking for a truly authentic taste of Kefalonia, Palia Plaka is the place to go. This charming Greek restaurant combines mouthwatering traditional dishes, fast service, unbeatable prices, and a stunning sea view – a rare and delightful combo.

The highlight of the menu is undoubtedly the local specialties like kreatopita (meat pie) and bakaliaropita (cod pie). Both are homemade, generously filled, and incredibly flavorful – the kind of dishes that taste like they’ve come straight from a Kefalonian yiayia’s kitchen. Even better, they’re served hot and ready within minutes, making it a perfect spot for a quick yet satisfying meal.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a terrace overlooking the sea that adds a whole new level of enjoyment to your dining experience. Whether you’re grabbing lunch after a swim or settling in for dinner with friends, the view alone is worth the visit.

And the prices? Surprisingly low for the quality and location. Palia Plaka proves that great food doesn’t have to come...

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing

As I lover and cook of Greek food, I grew up on my mother's Greek cooking and this restaurant definitely gives you a touch of homemade expertise.

I ordered the rabbit which was so soft and succulent and my wife ordered the veal, again so flavoursome and melted on the pallet. Salad was fresh and tyrokafteri went perfectly with the accompanying chips. We even got complementary home made bread. At the end of the meal they offered a complimentary custard cinnamon dessert. This was very light yet very satisfying.

We also got a house white wine which was 500ml and went perfectly with the meal.

In total the meal cost €36 and considering we sat in a balcony overlooking the port on a sunset with cooling winds outside the hustle and bustle of main Argostoli, absolutely...

Just the nicest dinner of our trip so far. We were caught in a huge thunderstorm on the way to the restaurant and the staff were incredibly receptive and provided towels to help dry us off.

More importantly for this review though, the food was wonderful. We had Moussaka and a grilled sea bass. The Moussaka was wonderfully homely and incredibly tasty. The sea bass was beautifully cooked and absolutely delicious. With some bread, some water and a couple of drinks so come away with a bill for around $30 was really great value.

The reviews really do this place justice. A little off the beaten path but absolutely recommended. Food fantastic, staff...
