#8 Yiannis Taverna
Tucked away in Rodos Old Town, this restaurant offers an authentic Greek dining experience that feels like a warm embrace from a beloved family member. Here, you’ll find hearty portions of Greek classics such as moussaka, souvlaki, and fresh seafood, all cooked with locally sourced ingredients.
#7 Maria Tavern
Located in the picturesque village of Archangelos, Maria Tavern is a hidden gem known for its home-cooked meals and friendly atmosphere. The taverna is named after Maria, the matriarch who has been delighting guests with her culinary skills for decades. We were curious to try their fish plateau for a complete Mediterranean experience.
#6 George's Special in Rhodes Town
Nestled in the bustling heart of Rhodes Town, George’s Special's lively atmosphere is a reflection of its location, right in the midst of the town’s vibrant nightlife. George’s Special is particularly renowned for its innovative takes on classic dishes, such as the feta-stuffed calamari and the ouzo-infused shrimp saganaki.
#5 Family Taverna Faliraki
Faliraki is known for its beautiful beaches and lively nightlife, but it’s also home to one of the best family-run tavernas on the island—Family Taverna Faliraki. This cozy eatery is the epitome of a traditional Greek taverna, where the focus is on simple, fresh ingredients and heartwarming flavors. This is the restaurant with the best prices we've found on the entire island and, surprisingly, the quantity and quality of the food were also good.
#4 La Veranda in Rodos Old Town
In the heart of the historic Rodos Old Town, La Veranda offers a dining experience that perfectly balances tradition with sophistication. The restaurant is housed in a beautifully restored medieval building, with a charming terrace that overlooks the narrow cobblestone streets. La Veranda is known for its refined take on Mediterranean cuisine, with a menu that showcases the best local produce and seafood. This is a gem of Rhodes which you shouldn't miss.
#3 Peskesi Restaurant
Located in a stunning beachfront setting in Rhodes Town, Peskesi Restaurant offers a dining experience that is as much about the atmosphere as it is about the food. The restaurant specializes in seafood, with a menu that highlights the freshest catch of the day. From grilled octopus to baked sea bass, every dish is prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. If you’re a seafood lover, Peskesi is an absolute must-visit on Rhodes Island.
#2 Panos Restaurant and Bar in Lindos
Located right on the beach of Lindos city, Panos Restaurant and Bar offers breathtaking views of the ancient Acropolis and the turquoise waters. This restaurant is a favorite among visitors to Lindos, not just for its stunning location, but also for its incredible food. The menu is a fusion of traditional Greek and modern Mediterranean cuisine, with dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Their tomahawk was the winner for us!
#1 Hermes Greek Grill Traditional in Rodos
At the top of our list is Hermes Greek Grill Traditional, a restaurant that truly captures the essence of Greek cuisine. Located in the heart of Rodos, Hermes is renowned for its exceptional grilled meats and hearty portions. The star of the menu is the mixed grill platter, a generous serving of lamb, pork, chicken, and sausages, all grilled to perfection and served with a side of roasted vegetables. The price was also friendly and included a variety of dishes which you can see in my video.
