Elysee Taverna — Restaurant in Municipality of Rhodes

We were looking for a good taverna experience with my girlfriend. I saw this place and the establishment date ~1970. I thought, it would be a good and real Greek experience. We tried grilled octopus, garlic bread, halloumi, garlic shrimp, tzatziki and ouzo. Unfortunately, ouzo was the only good thing. -Halloumi was like a Lidl product and served cold. -Octopus was like a tree bark. I ate it in minutes. It was awful and cold. -Bread was okay, fresh but cold again. -Shrimp was okay-ish. Nothing special and cold again. Service was good and fast. I liked the staff and their freindly attitude. Atmosphere is also okay, good and authentic interior design. As a sum, it was a really bad experience for a food. I am expecting a good service and better meal from an old-greek restaurant. These type of restaurant should protect their name and legacy for the national gastronomy. Sadly, not...

Family run Restaurant with great food, service and traditional surroundings. Look no further....once we found it we have eaten there every night. So friendly and nothing is too much trouble. It can get busy and no wonder ....just relax , soak up and enjoy that glass of wine while you wait for your delicious hot food served within a reasonable time. Why rush it's really worth waiting for...... Menu is varied to suit all taste at a reasonable price. From traditional Greek food , steaks to Pizza all freshly made. The family members are so friendly but at the hub is Stellios who buzzes everywhere making sure everyone is happy with a warm smile.... I would highly recommend you go there ...You won't be disappointed. Worth more than 5 Stars. Truly the best Restaurant in Ixia, Alan & Lorna...

If I could give less than one star I would, I'm finding it hard to think of a worse meal I've had. Who knew you could get grilled chicken and chips wrong! The chips were lower quality than you would find in a fast food place, the sauce was tasteless and congealed and the chicken was so rubbery it was inedible. They serve caramelised onions with the pork fillet, when I asked if I could have some with the chicken I was told "it's already made with the pork" which seems absolutely bizarre as it's not a mixed dish but maybe that should have told me that food is already prepared rather than made...
