Ταβέρνα "Ο Λεφτέρης" — Restaurant in Municipality of Naxos and the Lesser Cyclades

Taverna Lefteris is set in a charming courtyard under a large walnut tree — a lovely and peaceful spot. The food we had was very tasty, but the portions were quite small compared to other places on the island. The menu was rather limited, and prices were noticeably higher than elsewhere in Naxos.

It was actually the most expensive meal we had during our stay, without necessarily offering something exceptional to justify it. Also, unlike every other taverna we visited on the island, there was no complimentary dessert or drink at the end — not even a slice of watermelon.

Similarly every grilled meat dish we tried (Beef Kontra/Chuck and the Lamb Chops) was from local meat, was incredibly flavorful, and grilled to perfection. Lefteris offers exceptional food for great value, in a perfect setting. Highly...
