El Greco — Restaurant in Municipality of Western Samos

We had dinner yesterday at El Greco in Campos and were absolutely delighted! From the very beginning we felt warmly welcomed – the owners are incredibly kind and truly child-friendly. You can feel in every detail that the food is prepared and served with love.

The dishes were outstanding: freshly made, full of flavor, enhanced with fragrant herbs, and clearly crafted with passion and care. Everything was homemade, and you could taste the time and dedication that went into it. We were even treated to a small dessert – such a thoughtful gesture.

What impressed us most is that you can truly sense the owners’ love and passion for their profession. They put their heart into everything they do, and that makes the whole experience very special. On top of that, they even personally made sure we got home safely – a kindness we will never forget.

We are especially grateful for the considerate way the owners handled my husband’s food intolerances. They went out of their way to make sure everything was adapted to his needs, which is something really special and not to be taken for granted.

A restaurant we can wholeheartedly recommend: delicious food, wonderful hosts, and an atmosphere where you immediately feel at home. We will...

Great Greek food with a very pleasant and cool ambiance. If you happen to be in Kampos (Κάμπος), definitely have a bite there! The host and cook are very kind and are fun to talk with. With their Dutch and Greek backgrounds they bring really delicious little twists to relatively common dishes.

The menu has plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, next to the plenty of meat and fish dishes, from grill or oven. Asking for the fish of the day (or tomorrow) is an excellent choice, and the hosts are very lenient with your wishes. I had fresh dorade from oven (with fresh vegetables), and no kidding, it was the best dorade I ever had. The dorade from grill was also amazing! and I believe the cook makes delicious fresh fish any other day.

Other recommendations are the musaka, porkchops and vegan burger. The dishes are served with oven baked potatoes or French fries.

My party and I had a great time at El Greco, and I would gladly go...

Update 2025 Ook dit jaar hebben we weer volop genoten van de kookkunsten van Steve en gastvrijheid van hem en Anja. Ik kon me elke dag laten verrassen door Steve. Hij zei steeds dat hij wel iets zou bedenken en dat is hem zeer goed gelukt.

Qua vegan gerechten heb ik onder andere genoten van voorafjes: spring rolls, vegan balletjes, fried zucchini hoofdgerechten: moussaka, briami (met oa. brocolli en aardappelblokjes), aubergines schotel/stoofpotje met orzo, soort van sperziebonen schotel, bondige artisjokkensoep (met ui, wortel, tahin-saus, dakos, vegan souvlaki en papoutsakias.

Mijn vrouw heeft ook enorm genoten van de andere gerechten, zoals: kip-souvlaki, kip in mosterdsaus, kip van grill, tigania (varkensvlees gestoofd in rode wijn), gyros, pita-bread feta creme/tzatziki.

2023 Wij hebben hier heerlijk gegeten (tijdens onze vakantie begin september 2023) en genoten van de gastvriendelijkheid van Steve en Anja. Wij komen al jaren op Samos, maar dit restaurant hadden we nog niet ontdekt. Dat gebeurde pas doordat we zochten op vegan restaurants. Ze hebben veel vegetarische gerechten en dit staat ook goed aangegeven en als je veganistisch wilt eten, kun je dat aangeven. Doordat ze Nederlands spreken, is net even iets makkelijker uitleggen. Anja en Steve denken graag met je mee en Anja heeft zelfs speciaal gezocht naar vegan kaas en deze uiteindelijk ook gevonden (in de AB in Karlovassi). Steve gaf aan dat hij het een uitdaging vond om de veganistische Papoutsakia te maken, maar deze was zeer goed gelukt! Zo goed, dat we een andere dag zijn teruggekomen om het nog een keer te nemen!

De vegan gerechten waren o.a. Fava, Briam, Orzo met vegan kaas, veganistische moussaka en Papoutsakia (op bestelling :) ). En de dubbele espresso was ook lekker als afsluiting van de...
