Restaurant The Konatsi — Restaurant in Municipality of South Kynouria

Uphill at the small village square, the first thing you see is a large terrace, under the fat shade of a big tree, overlooking the sea. Nestled in this charming spot is this place, but you won't go for the view alone (although it's a bonus, the view). You'll go for the exceptional cooking, with local ingredients, with vegetables and cheeses either theirs or from neighboring farms, for a stewed poem with a tender rabbit and caramelized onions (don't skip their "kouneli stifado"), for their wonderful eggplant salad (with local, "tsakonikes" of course, eggplants, and walnuts), for their crispy mommy-like potato fries, for their juicy and delicious seftalia-meatballs, for the traditional "tyropitari" cheese pie with airy thin dough filled with creamy anthotyro cheese (masterfully fried).

This restaurant is a MUST to enjoy. The food is outstanding as is the service from this lovely family. We started every dinner (we went 3 nights in a row) with the Konatsi salad, which was truly awesome and super healthy. We loved the Chortopita traditional pie, the tzatziki is fresh and great, the lamb chops were prepared to perfection. The homemade yogurt with honey is incredible. Try the homemade apple geranium liqueur after your meal, it’s fabulous. Oh and we tried the grape homemade spoon sweets…yum.
