I'm planning a trip to Rhodes and, as a passionate foodie, I'm eager to explore the island's culinary delights. I'd love to hear your recommendations on the best way to experience Rhodes' food scene.

Are there any must-visit taverns or restaurants where I can taste authentic local dishes? I'd also appreciate suggestions for food tours or cooking classes that offer a hands-on experience with traditional Rhodesian cuisine.

Additionally, I'm interested in discovering local markets where I can find fresh produce, unique ingredients, and maybe even some hidden gems. If you've been to Rhodes and have any tips on where to go for the best food experiences, please share!
 
Hello It would help if you say where on Rhodes you are staying ,to suggest tavernas. the Only local market on Rhodes is on the outskirts of rhodes town on wednesays & saturdays til 13.00 hours.Its mostly fresh frut & veg Plus one stall selling fresh fish .Sometimes there are materials to be bought.
 
Rhodes is a paradise for food lovers! For an authentic experience, I'd recommend visiting Ta Kardasia in the Old Town for traditional Rhodian dishes like pitaroudia (chickpea fritters) and fresh seafood. Taverna Kostas in Lindos is another gem, offering local favorites in a cozy setting.

For a hands-on experience, check out the Rhodes Culinary Cooking Class. It's a fantastic way to learn how to prepare traditional recipes using fresh, local ingredients. Don’t miss the New Market in Rhodes Town, where you’ll find a variety of fresh produce, spices, and local delicacies.

Exploring local food festivals, like the Honey and Olive Festival, can also give you a unique taste of the island’s culinary culture.
 
No fresh produce in The New Market .Only tourist shops, many jewelers & a few tavernas .Oh , & statis cafe where I go for drinks.
 

Eating Like a Local in Rhodes?

When I go to Rhodes next I'd like to really dive into the local food scene. I always prefer eating where the locals do rather than sticking to touristy spots. I've heard that Rhodes has some amazing traditional tavernas and hidden gems when it comes to food, but I'm not sure where to start.

Does anyone have recommendations for authentic places to eat in Rhodes? I’m particularly interested in trying local specialties like moussaka, fresh seafood, and maybe some lesser-known dishes that I wouldn’t find in guidebooks. Also, if there are any tips on what times are best to go, or how to order like a local, I'd love to hear them!
