Taverna Faros — Restaurant in Zakynthos Municipality

We ate here quite regularly while staying across the road at DaLuz Villa. It's a family run business and the staff are lovely. While you can find better elsewhere on the island, and cheaper, I'm not sure better and cheaper together can be found.

Personal highlights for us were the salads, the prawns and the excellent pork souvlaki. Saganaki cheese was also excellent as was their fresh Dorado, which was the best we found on the island. Be sure to ask to see their fresh fish of the day if you want fish.

I highly recommend trying a Cefallonia Winery bottle of wine. It's made on Zakynthos and quite refreshing.

I ordered the pastitsio, tzatziki with fries, and my wife ordered the dorado which was fresh caught. They helped her filet the fish and we were both very pleased with our food. The service was great, quick, and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant with a nice view and a pretty garden, shaded and unshaded areas available. The food was also reasonably priced! Having ate at both the Windmill and Faros Taverna, I would recommend to Faros Taverna because of the prices, the atmosphere felt less commercialized, and the food...
