The Lions is our favorite restaurant - not just in Mátala - all over the world. The place on the terrace is great - next to the ocean can you see a gorgeous sunset. The drinks like wine and beer are very good just as the cocktails. The fresh fish is always great and the meat is also good. But the best of all is the awesome staff - very friendly and attentive and always with a smile on the face and a joke on the tongue. We will come back next year!

Perfect. Super friendly staff, great service. Be sure to ask for the fish of the day! Tuna steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. A million $$ view ans all at a fair price. Wished I was staying on location to watch the epic sunsets that I hear they get at this location . . next time. Thanks for the lovely afternoon, George!

We were a group of four people visiting Matala and were often in Lions for lunch and dinner. Great friendly service, always. Prices for super tasty dishes were very reasonably priced. Excellent fish for fish fans ! We will be back again!

I have rarely had such a terrible dining experience as I did at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, things went downhill. The service was uninterested and downright rude. We waited over 30 minutes before anyone even bothered to take our order.

When the food finally arrived, it was a complete disaster. The dishes were clearly not fresh and tasted like they came straight out of a microwave. The meat was tough and dry, the vegetables were bland and overcooked, and the portions were embarrassingly small for the outrageous prices they charge.

On top of that, the interior of the restaurant was dirty and poorly maintained. The tables were sticky, and it seemed like the floor hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The ambiance was far from cozy, with a noisy environment and uncomfortable seating.

All in all, a horrible experience that I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. There are so many better options nearby. Please don’t waste your time...

Really bad experience with this place. Ordered to try some sea food for me and my wife, mussels and some snails, really grose and tasted badly, but I said that it might be me as I have never tried and maybe I not made for this kind of food. We have ordered something else, something safe and easy, some wiener schnitzel and a gyros. The schnitzle was pink insinde and the gyros meat tasted funny again. When I told this to the staff members they just lifted their shoulders and carry on. Ended up paying a bit over €50 and left with empty stomacs. Please check other reviews as well before trying...

Selten habe ich so etwas mieses erlebt. Dieses Restaurant hat nichts, absolut nichts mit einer Taverne gemein. Das typisch griechische Weißbrot wird nicht vorab gereicht. Stattdessen wird man gefragt, ob man Knoblauchbrot haben möchte. Dieses schlägt dann schlussendlich mit 4€ zu Buche. Davon abgesehen triefte dieses nur so vor Fett. Die Gyros-Platte war eine einzige Katastrophe. Die Fleischmenge, geschwindend gering. Das Gyros viel zu weich, ölig und schlecht gewürzt. Die ansonsten superleckeren Patates (Pommes) waren lediglich in Scheiben geschnittene Kartoffeln, die zum Teil nicht genügend frittiert und somit innen noch nicht ganz gar waren. Wirklich gewürzt waren sie auch nicht. Dazu ein kleines Häufchen Tzatziki. Und ein wenig "Salat" (Tomate, Gurke, Gemüsezwiebelringe) - leider in Olivenöl ertrunken. Der Service war zwar bemüht, aber wenig herzlich. Das kenne ich von 'den Griechen' definitiv anders. Vielmehr war man damit beschäftigt, neue Gäste in die Lokalität zu locken. Nach der Bitte um die Rechnung gab es weder einen kleinen Teller mit Karpusi (Wassermelone) noch einen Tsikoudia (Raki). Das war in allen anderen bisher besuchten Tavernen in Matala immer und ausschließlich der Fall. Den Raki - eine kleine Flasche mit 50ml - habe ich mir im Anschluss in einem Supermarkt gekauft. Den konnte ich nämlich nach diesem abscheulichen Essen (ich finde einfach keinen anderen Ausdruck dafür) wirklich gebrauchen - mir war ernsthaft übel. Fazit: Im Grunde ist ein vergebener Stern noch zu viel. Diese "Taverne" ist definitiv nicht...
