Taverna Ydroussa — Restaurant in Municipality of Western Samos

After reading the reviews we thought we would give this taverna a try.

To say it lived up to the reviews is an understatement. The sunset view was indeed beautiful, but the food and service were even better. Claire was friendly and attentive, and we were lucky enough to be there early, so she had some time to chat. She is a lovely lady and has two beautiful children. Back to the food!

They had goat as the special, which we love but is quite hard to find at times. It was absolutely delicious, as were the baked cheese and chickpea balls (the best I have ever had).

We live six months a year in Leka and can actually see this taverna from our house. How we did not find this gem earlier is a mystery. An absolute must.

Update: We had friends visiting from overseas and took them to this wonderful restaurant. Claire was, as usual, warm and welcoming. The food was fantastic and our friends were really happy...

Although second choice, because another restaurant did not accept us, because we were 18 instead of 15, Konstantinos and Klaìri accept us with warmth, went above and beyond, like we were friends for years. We had an excellent time, food was excellent and coming in waves and different delicacy each time, so whatever was served, did not had time to get cold. It looked like a village kafeneion, but it evolved to a very good taverna. Sunset was beautiful and we stayed until 02:00 the next morning, actually closing...

May 2023. We ended up in Ydroussa by mistake after getting lost driving offroad in the mountains, but this was such a lucky mistake. In our two weeks in Samos, Taverna Ydroussa gave us our best dining experience. The family who runs the taverna are such lovely and welcoming people, and everything is so fresh and tasty. The sunset view from the terrace is amazing as well. We would highly recommend a visit to Ydroussa and this taverna when...
