Old fisherman's tavern — Restaurant in Lefkada Municipality

We recently had dinner at this restaurant and, unfortunately, left feeling quite disappointed. We ordered the anchovies to start and a seafood risotto as our main dish, but neither lived up to our expectations. The anchovies were surprisingly bland — so much so that we left half the plate untouched. They were served with a small side of salad that had nothing but balsamic vinegar and no seasoning whatsoever. It felt more like an afterthought than a proper accompaniment. The seafood risotto was equally puzzling. It came topped with fine slices of cheese, which didn’t pair well with the seafood at all. The dish included mussels, prawns, squid, onions, red and green peppers cut in large pieces, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and the aforementioned cheese. Sadly, it gave the impression that the kitchen had simply taken everything they had left in the fridge and mixed it all together. Considering rice is meant to be the star of a risotto, it was oddly the least present ingredient on the plate. To make matters worse, when the waitress came to bring the bill, she made no effort to glance at the half-finished plate of anchovies still sitting on our table or ask how our meal had been. The lack of attention to both the food and the guest experience left us with the feeling that this is a place that no longer cares about its menu or its customers. The focus seems to be on serving food quickly and charging for it — and nothing more. Such a shame… especially when dining out should feel like a treat, not...

First night we sit and we ordered, but it started raining from nowhere, we’ve asked several waiters if we can do something at the begging no one knew, so we’ve waited under the rain for 10 minutes, then they’ve said that there is nothing to be done, because there are no tables under an umbrella. We were forced to leave and we saved a table for the next night for 20 o’clock.

On the next night we came 10 minutes earlier, and it was like no one knows if we have a reservation, where it is and so, we asked several people, they just said “wait” and we have waited for 10-15 minutes up, when there were more then 10 different empty tables for two….

We’ve ordered Greek salad, Mussels saganaki and a risotto. I don’t recommend the mussels, they were with the shells and there were many broken shells inside, there were also many papers in the sauce. I also don’t recommend the house wine, everything else was very tasty ☺️
