RUA MAT RESTAURANT ALYKANAS — Restaurant in Zakynthos Municipality

What an incredible restaurant, we’ve been here multiple times throughout our stay and will keep coming back for the duration. Never had a bad meal here. Staff are so friendly especially the lady on the reception where you pay your bill who calls you “lovely” and also special shout out to the staff member lady that works during the day, she always greets us with a warm welcome and can’t do enough for you. We had one poor evening where service was terrible besides the food which is always on par, but we gave them grace as it was so busy at the time, but 25 mins to get a drink was a bit much after asking a waiter who said he’d be back in a moment, never came back, we felt forgotten about this evening. Also are starter plates were still on the table when they arrived with our mains, I just thought this was a bit poor service as I work in the industry myself and would never serve the mains without removing the starters first. But nonetheless, the food is always exceptional and plentiful. Portions are big so come with an appetite. Definitely give it a try, during the day is less busy so I would suggest going then for lunch and you’ll be greeted by a lovely lady there. Even the takeaway food we got was fab and was delivered to our hotel. Highly recommend. The Baklava is out of this world so definitely give...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A Truly Unforgettable Greek Dining Experience! 🇬🇷

We discovered this little gem while on holiday in Greece, and it completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, with beautiful sea views and a perfect mix of traditional charm and modern comfort.

The food was absolutely incredible! Every dish was fresh, full of authentic Greek flavors, and beautifully presented. The grilled octopus was perfectly tender, the moussaka rich and comforting, and the Greek salad tasted like sunshine on a plate — so simple yet bursting with flavor. We also loved the house wine and couldn’t resist finishing with a delicious baklava and a shot of ouzo.

What truly made the experience special was the staff — friendly, genuine, and clearly proud of what they do. Their recommendations were spot on, and they made sure we had everything we needed.

If you’re visiting Greece, this restaurant is a must! An amazing combination of great food, lovely ambiance, and warm service — a highlight of our trip. We’ll definitely be back next...

We came back here for the second time during our holiday in Zakynthos, and we’re honestly surprised it isn’t busier, considering how wonderful this place is. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere — they welcome you on their charming terrace, listening to traditional Greek music.

The service is a huge part of what makes this place so special. Everyone is friendly, smiling, and welcoming, and Katerina, who serves the food and also handles the payments, is a true professional. She makes you feel at home from the moment you sit down.

The food is freshly made, rich in flavor and simply delicious. We tried moussaka at many restaurants on the island, but this one was the best by far — you can taste every ingredient and appreciate its freshness.

There’s convenient parking right next to the restaurant. If you’re in Zakynthos and looking for a friendly place with great food and service, this is a place for you. We’re already looking forward to our...
