Στολίδι της Ψίνθου Greek Taverna in Psinthos Village Local Restaurant near Butterflies Valley — Restaurant in Municipality of Rhodes

We came THREE DAYS in a row. THREE DAYS. And when we would debate about giving other traditional tavernas a chance, we would come to the realization that we ought not to assume we can find such spectacular dishes elsewhere.

Today’s kleftiko made me hear angel’s singing. I’m serious. I begged for the recipe. In a delirium, I may have offered my first born. Succulent lamb with potatoes, tomatoes and peppers slow roasted with cheese, honey and herbs and spices… best EVER. It will haunt my dreams.

The feta roasted in the oven is divine. The chickpea and zucchini fritters- both excellent. The roasted eggplant salad- I ordered it twice. Where do they source their ingredients? Some magic garden??? What is their secret? They say ‘love’. I cook with love but my cooking doesn’t taste like that! They make their own pita bread!! Yesterday we had stifado. The meat fell apart with a fork.

Drive out of the hectic city and go to this village in the lovely mountains and Eat HERE. The family running the tavern are good people- service was excellent and they obviously take pride in their work. Go go go-...

This could be up there with the best food I have ever eaten!

My wife, son and I stopped off here when coming back from the petting zoo. What interested us most, was the restaurant was busy, and seemed to be a lot of local people dining!

We were welcomed by a lovely waiter, who recognised instantly we were Scottish, a few jokes back and forward.. when drinks arrived he said “Slainte Mhath” which means good health in Scottish Gaelic - a rather nice touch, especially as he pronounced it correctly!

The waiter went out his way to explain all of the local dishes to which we tried two - we would never have tried these if they weren’t explained!

The food was incredible! Best food we have eaten on the island, and as I say, up there with some of the best food I’ve ever eaten.

Price point was very cheap, I was actually shocked at the prices!...

What a great traditional restaurant! We stumbled upon it on a very rainy day and it was exactly what we needed. The service was friendly and very informative. I'm a vegan and I was there with a vegetarian and an everything-eater, and they had delicious meals for all. We tried the fried aubergines that came with tomatoes, a local traditional meat dish with lamb and rice baked in a clay pot, Greek salad, tzatziki and the mushrooms. Everything was very tasty and the portions very generous, but to me the highlight was the mushrooms. They came with a lot of garlic and olive oil, so when they were gone, we just mopped up all the juices with bread. I'd say if you are looking for a fun, beautifully decorated and atmospheric restaurant, this place would be worth driving up from the coast. And if you like...
