Balkonaki — Restaurant in Lefkada Municipality

Stay away, don’t waste your time and money. We have decided to give it a try, thinking it is traditional food. We were very quickly disappointed. Starter: zuchini flower stuffed with cheese, we did not know it is fried and we did not eat, we gave it back. The waiter was very annoyed and asked “what do you want me to do with it?” . Second dish: chicken with vegetables in the oven. We expected roast vegetables with pieces of chicken. The lady came with a plate filled with chips, like a mountain, on top of it few small slices of peppers and few pieces of chicken on the bone. Ordered wine and fresh lemonade, it was not tasting like fresh lemons.

We tried the local white wine, very refreshing and had just the right edge for a summer say. The portions were very large. Given the food quality and the amount served, this is unequivocally a great value. Highly...

Amazing view of the village along with the sea, all while enjoying an extraordinary meal. Went there to eat 5 days in a row for both lunch and dinner and every meal was freshly made. Fantastic salads along with exquisite and authentic Greek dishes. The menu is mostly meat however there are a few options that a vegetarian would enjoy, it was as simple as asking.

Cannot wait to revisit the location not only for the food but the most breathtaking beaches in ALL of Greece.

Highly recommend the chops. Best and freshest I have ever had. Also the coal that they cook with is made locally, which gives all the food a much more...
