Elli' s Tavern — Restaurant in Municipality of West Mani

We went just wanting a simple meal as we were tired having got up that day at 3am to catch a flight - but were distracted by the menu. Successfully. Courgette croquettes were well seasoned with herbs, olive pickers salad (orange, potato, capers, olives, onion, pomegranate) was memorable, lamb with lemon en papilotte was tender and amazingly lemony, grilled sardines were exactly as they ought to be. The baked eggplant starter was definitely surplus to any actual need - portions are large! - but we are glad to have had it, as it was good, too. Kitchen knows what it's doing. Harbour front location is super. Wait staff were pleasant, and also bilingual (at least), and service was prompt. No problems at all. Very busy though - both times we asked for something they rushed off when we were mid request so ended up doing extra trips. The place was (entirely justifiably) absolutely hopping. But also very chilled. Reservations...

We were here on the 9th day of our road trip through Greece and received a very warm welcome. Cute cats are buzzing around everywhere and make going out to eat a real experience. The price-performance ratio is something I would like to emphasize: the portions are large, but not too large and incredibly priced. For an evening including 2 starters, two main courses, some bread and a bottle each of wine and water, we paid just over 30 euros. Who wants to eat cheap and high quality, has found his place here. The service is fast and friendly and the restaurant itself is in impeccable condition. Also important to mention: every vegetarian will find something here. You could eat here for a week every day and not even have something eaten twice - really a treat! We would come here again at any time and can only recommend it...

An amazing place with perfect interior and food. The place is so beautiful that I couldn't stop making pictures of it. And then comes the food - a delicios variety of local cuisine. You have to try the olive oil served as an appetizer with some bread. The olive oil is lpproduced by the father of Elli. And this is just one of all the homemade dishes and ingredients used in the menu. We have tried some homemade dough flute rolls in Mani style and it was delicious. The homemade pasta fresca made The Greco style was one of the best that I have ever tried. And then you get this special service and attitude by Elli (the owner of the place), that makes your visit an unforgetable one. This place is a must if you are in Stoupa or anywhere in the region. Highly...
