Excellent food and service! Highly recommend for anyone on holiday in rhodes to include this spot as a must go. The village is incredibly picturesque and friendly, with a traditional vibrancy. And the restaurant captures the beauty of local traditional, and locally sourced vegetables and meats. We had reservations for 7 people, so i had the chance to sample many items from the menu… each was insanely delicious. I was also impressed that the menu also accommodates for vegetarian diets - so there is something for everyone here. A few standouts from what we ordered: We began our meal with a selection of appetizers - roasted vegetables, the patriko salad, fries, a sausage (which came on a bed of yogurt and was incredible!) and the mushroom dish which, for me, is a standout dish. we then had an order of the ribs, which i highly recommend ordering. It’s a worthwhile trip to this village for this restaurant, if not only for their ribs! As someone who has eaten plenty bbq in my life (being from Texas and New York), it’s not an overstatement to say these were the best ribs i’ve ever had, and i’ll remember them as such. So it’s a good idea to come with a few friends to share the bounty of food on offer :) The service was excellent, and the overall atmosphere was clean and friendly, with well appointed custom decorations that created a comfortable evening that was nourishing for us both in the flavors and in the spirit. I’ll be coming again and again the next time...
Read moreDuring my stay in Lardos, I had the pleasure of dining at Patriko, a traditional Greek restaurant that truly captures the essence of local hospitality and cuisine.
From the moment I walked in, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The setting is charming, with a rustic yet elegant design that reflects the spirit of a traditional Greek home. The staff were polite, attentive, and always willing to explain the menu and suggest local specialties.
The food was outstanding. Every dish tasted homemade and full of authentic flavors. The grilled meats were perfectly cooked, the fresh seafood was delicious, and the traditional starters like tzatziki and dolmades were simply unforgettable. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ingredients was obvious in every bite.
What impressed me most was the balance between authenticity and comfort. Dining at Patriko felt less like going to a restaurant and more like being welcomed into a family home.
Overall, Patriko is a must-visit in Lardos. If you want to experience genuine Greek cuisine combined with warm hospitality, this is the perfect place. I would highly recommend it to anyone...
Read moreNestled in a stunning setting, this restaurant truly captivates with its exquisite decor that immediately draws the eye. We began our culinary journey with the halloumi starter, which was nothing short of delightful—perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor. For our main course, we opted for the share steak platter, and I must say, the steak was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy without a hint of chewiness.
That said, I personally believe that a touch of seasoning prior to cooking would elevate the dish even further. Our experience was slightly marred by the late arrival of the peppercorn sauce, and the chips, which arrived a good five minute after our main course. It seemed they may have slipped their minds, as we had to remind the staff.
Despite these minor hiccups, the overall meal was delicious, well-priced, and complemented by friendly service. A lovely dining experience that I...
