Avli

The best resurant in resort, really special setting, it does take a while to get served but its worth the wait as the foods really great. Go early and relax and enjoy it for the night.

Nice setting for a meal. However quite pricey and food doesn't come accompanied with extras. For example mousaka is served on its own. This is ok but other restaurants serve with chips,rice,salad.For the price was dissapointing.Staff not to interested but it is quite busy so difficult to please everyone.

Agree with most of the comments about this place, very nice setting and food very good.
The only drawback is be prepared for a long wait if the place is busy - and it usually is.
We went on a Thursday night and the place was full - waited forever for food to arrive, in fact a Greek family next to us walked out because they weren't prepared to wait any longer !
There also appears to be too many tables for the size of the place, a few less would make it more special.

Beautiful setting and good service but didn`t return there cos I felt conned. Party of 4 adults 2 children ate there probably 2nd night of holiday. Having visited a few Greek Islands I requested Lamb Kleftiko. I got Farmhouse Lamb pie containing a few miniscule pieces of lamb. When I complained I was told it was the same thing and it was their way of cooking it. I was then offered grilled Lamb chops!!! Needless to say we did not go there again thourh the setting is gorgeous.

Arrived Kos 16th June 04 returned 30th June 04. First

Kardamena is not renowned for quality restaurants. It's become
a mecca for fast food outlets catering for those with little gourmet
taste. Thank goodness then for the few places that do cater for
those of us with good taste - places like Avli. I've been going to
Kardamena twice a year for 15 years and dine at less than a
handful of restaurants. Now the Avli has taken over as my
number one choice for sheer quality, staff professionalism and
politeness and a menu that is truly unbelievable. If you love
things all Greek like peppers stuffed with cheese, mussels in
spicy sauce, meatballs, fried courgettes, prawn saganaki (the
meze type dishes Greece is noted for - then don't walk pass Avli
next time. Make a date and you'll be hooked for life.

This was our favourite restaurant. There were no staff outside looking for customers but it was always busy and full of people really enjoying themselves. The setting was lovely - probably the classiest place in town to eat. We had traditional meals served in brown earthenware dishes. They were piping hot and so much better than having a lukewarm dinner. The staff were always very pleasant and polite. If you enjoy nice food and surrounding don't miss this place!

Really nice restaurant with pretty courtyard. We sat out by the well
and had a beautifull meal. It's hidden off the street from the Louis
supermarket down to the beach and well worth a visit. No more
expensive than any other restaurant in Kardamena and the
Australian lady is a pleasure to alk to - she seems to know
everything about the island.

This place really is the 'bees knees' of Greek restaurants - not just on Kos but anywhere! The food is authentic Greek, the staff amazingly polite and welcoming and the atmosphere intimate. We were fortunate enough to find this place early in our travels so frequented it regularly during our stay. The meatballs are to die for! It was reasonably priced and offered a nice alternative to overpriced commercial 'British' eateries.

This place totally rocks!

This was a gorgeous restaurant, we went there several times on our hol. We didnt notice it at first because it was slightly hidden off the main street, but it had a lovely courtyard, none of that tacky stuff. They didn't need anyone standing on the street trying to drag you in. There was loads to choose from on the menu and the service was excellent.

by far the best restaurant in kardamena,food was gorge,we were just upset we discovered it a few days before we had to go home! prices were good, no more expensive than the other crap restaurants on the sea front! def worth a visit

I was back again to this restaurant last week,was not disappointed,food and service were excellent yet again.
If you want to see the restaurant before you go, check out their web site,www.avlirestaurant.gr worth the visit.

Best restaurant in KD with the hunkiest waiters in the resort! Owned by Panayiotis with brothers Giorgios counting the cash, Antonis taking his work very seriously and Mum Marina going potty whenever crepes are ordered! Truely a family business - see the before and after photographs of the restaurant to appreciate all the hard work that has gone into creating the business. The Lobster was to die for and the presentation superb as for the Avli Salad an utter dream for those of a boozey nature!

We went here to get away from the more commercial restuarants on the beach front and it was fantastic especially for a quiet meal which is what we wanted. Can either sit out in the courtyard or inside.

By far the best in Kardemena if not the whole of Kos. If we had of discovered this place earlier in the week we would have eaten there every night. Beautiful fresh prawns in the prawn and avocado, a must!

Service was far too slow!!! and ended up with gut rot after a visit here (which is nice - not!!). price was ok. If you want a decent meal go to the Taj Mahal!!!

My food was really nice but two of my friend's ended up with gut rot so may be worth staying clear!!!!!

This restaurant is really nice and pretty authentic. Tables are primarily outside, which is pleasant in the early evening. Food is good. My only qualm is that the staff were all-male when I went.

THIS IS A LOVELY RESTAURANT. U CAN SIT OUTSIDE. THE FOOD AND STAFF WAS EXCELLENT.

Well went there last year, going back this Oct, sent peter an e-mail to book my table,just incase its full again

Try the greek style steak! its bloody luvly! the service is perfect, they make you feel really special. Wear a warmish top if you go later on as a lot of the seating is outside. Before Avli there were alot of average places to eat, but Avli is definately the best!

This was the best place that ever opened its doors in this village. Food was excellent. Peters service and staff was fist class. Wine was very very good. We ate there lots can you tell.

resaurant avli I found to be one if not the best in kardamena, the greek food was always fresh and full of flavour the service from peter tony george and marina was always happy and friendly. I tried every greek meal some twice, can make no comment on their english menu as I only eat the national food but if it is like the greek menu go there and try them you will not be dissapointed

THIS is the oldest restaurant in Kardamena not Giannis. It is 100 years old and used to be a Wine Pressing establishement. It has been transformed into a restuarant and has a lovely courtyard seating area outside as well. The food is authentic Greek and absolutely delicious. Go early as always queues.
