The seating arrangement works well for small groups, couples, or even solo diners who simply want a quiet table and a good meal.

The outdoor seating area deserves special mention. Sitting outside while enjoying a meal creates a very different atmosphere compared to typical indoor dining. There’s a gentle flow of conversation, plates arriving at nearby tables, and the easy rhythm that defines many beloved tavernas across Greece. It’s easy to see why this spot attracts visitors looking for an authentic restaurant setting rather than something overly formal.

Dessert is also worth making time for here. After lunch, many diners stay a little longer, chatting over something sweet before continuing their day.

What customers say?

“ Staying five days in Mericha this tavern is probably the best spot on the site. Unfortunately the tavern is not front line but it’s worth taking the short way. Excellent skewers and homemade food at absolutely reasonable prices. Very nice ambiance and friendly service. I’ll come definitely back. Efkaristo ”

“ We had a lovely evening with very tasty food. Even though it is Greek cuisine, the dishes were a nice change to the traditional Greek cuisine we had tasted so far. The potato and beetroot salad were very good! But also the beef stew in lemon sauce and Giovetsi braised beef were great. Our waiter George went above and beyond to explain the dishes to us and was very friendly. He even got us a delicious dessert on the house! The setting is really nice and bright with white tables and chairs. Because it is located just behind the ‘main road’ where all other restaurants are, it is not overly crowded. We would definitely come back here! ”

“ Kantouni offers top quality food with generous portions and reasonable prices. Yiannis is a great host and the staff is overall friendly and polite. The restaurant has recently changed management and has rebranded to more modern Greek cuisine than previous years. A must-visit when in Kythnos (we visited it 3 times!). ”

“ I shouldn't even review this amazing place, but keep it as a secret so I can have it to myself. The food is made with love, the service is sweet, welcoming, friendly and... The lamb chops are to die for . Did I mention that the restaurant is beautiful - and has a beautiful display of vinyl records? ”

“ Good place for dinner just one street from the ocean looking on a small peacefull square. Very friendly service and a good filling meal (chicken stewer) ”

- David Versloot -

“ From the first visit it was clear this would be our regular stop, the dishes are delicious and the owner treats everyone like an old friend. I tried the Gemista, the tzolia and of course the χόρτα in addition to the local wine! Highly recommended! ”
