Tip for Zakynthos: avoid the super touristy restaurants!

[paharo45]

I remember when I went to Zakynthos, the super “touristy” restaurants had the worst food! This is an island with so many foreign tourists that I think restaurant owners skip out on the quality or make food that’s catered to more British/American pallets. In my opinion, if you want real Greek cuisine, avoid the the gimmicky places. Good luck!

I agree with you! The absolute best restaurants to eat at when in Zakynthos or all of Greece for that matter are the non-touristy places. Restaurants that are non-chain, family owned and where locals eat are typically the best places to eat in Greece. Checking a website like Tripadvisor works to see what the reviews and customer photos look like works well.
