If you’re wondering where to eat meat in Kos, look no further than To Xasapaki — a hidden gem that blends traditional butcher charm with modern steakhouse flair.
Diners rave about selecting their own cuts directly from the butcher’s display — from perfectly marbled Black Angus to juicy rib-eyes — which are then expertly grilled to order. The meat quality is consistently praised as top-tier, and the house-made sauces take the flavors to the next level.
The menu also features creative starters like beef carpaccio, steak tartare, and cheese croquettes — all highly rated for their flavor and presentation. Burgers, in particular, are described as some of the best on the island, often made with in-house smoked bacon and custom toppings.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming — more like dining in someone’s stylish home than a typical restaurant — and the staff are known for their friendly and attentive service.
Value for money is another standout: a full meal (including steak, burger, rustic fries, and water) averages around €30–€35, with customers noting the portions are generous and the pricing very fair for the quality offered.
In summary, Xasapaki offers:
Whether you’re a meat lover or just looking for a memorable food experience in Kos away from tourist traps, Xasapaki is a must-visit destination.

3 weeks agoWonderful steakhouse with a unique concept! You choose your meat directly from the butcher section inside the restaurant, which makes the whole experience more interactive and fun. There are two prices displayed — one for takeaway at butcher price and one for dining in — which is very transparent. Once you select your cut, they cook it exactly to your preferred doneness. The Black Angus ribeye was almost perfection — juicy, flavorful, and beautifully cooked. The local T-bone steak was also very good, but the ribeye was definitely the star of the night. Sides and drinks are reasonably priced, and the meat selection offers a wide range of options for different budgets. As a frequent Kos traveler, we will definitely be back!

4 months agoLovely place to eat. I can vouch for their burgers! However, the meat looked amazing. They operate differently, they're a butcher with a restaurant. You can choose your meat you want. We both however, went for their burgers. Fries are sides, but the price was very good. Sadly only had the chance to experience this once. Make sure you book. I went in October, one of their quieter seasons I would assume, and it was very busy. We still got seatee, but the best seats are reserved.

11 months agoIf you find yourself in Kos, you must visit "Το χασάπακι," a brilliant concept that combines a butcher shop with an exceptional dining experience. Here, you can choose premium-quality meats straight from the butcher's counter, and they will grill them to perfection for you to enjoy. In addition to offering top-notch quality, the establishment boasts very reasonable prices and impeccable service. It's truly a place that stands out for its unique concept, outstanding flavors, and warm hospitality. I tried the tabbouleh salad as a starter, and for the main course, I opted for a perfectly cooked medium-rare aged beef steak, served with a side of grilled vegetables.
