Sardelles Fish Taverna – A Kos Town Classic

Recommended by our receptionist and glad we followed her recommendation! Traditional family restaurant serving fresh fish with a smile. Absolutely loved the interior! We ordered the stuffed squid 🦑 and it didn't disappoint. Served with grilled veggies and potatoes. Asked if they had some sweet wine and they offered me the sweet rosé farmed locally. Definitely recommend ☺️ we will definitely return 💙🤍

From the very first night of our arrival, this lovely Greek fish taverna stole our hearts. We wandered in for dinner without knowing what to expect, but it immediately felt like the perfect choice. Over the next few days we tried different restaurants—by the seafront, in the centre, and further out—but none of them compared. We happily returned here, and for good reason. The food is simply unforgettable: the freshest seafood, cooked to perfection, and the most flavorful dishes served in portions that leave you more than satisfied. The tzatziki deserves a special mention—it was the absolute best we’ve ever tasted, creamy, refreshing, and just perfect alongside the fish. Everything tasted so fresh that you could feel the sea and the tradition on the plate. What makes this place even more special is the atmosphere and the people. The staff here are genuinely kind, welcoming, and attentive without ever being pushy. Unlike other places where people call out or pressure you to come in, here they greet you with sincerity and warmth, letting their hospitality speak for itself. That small but important detail made all the difference for us. This is more than just a restaurant—it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger, laugh, and come back again and again. If you want a true taste of Greece, both on your plate and in the way you’re treated, don’t miss this taverna. Ευχαριστούμε πάρα πολύ, to the wonderful staff! your smiles, kindness, and delicious food made our stay unforgettable. We will always remember you and can’t wait to return.

Had a wonderful evening at Sardelles for our last evening in Kos. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. Live Greek music, dancing and fire on the floor? 🤭 we had 4 courses and drinks and it was only about €35 each. Family ran and you feel part of that family if even for only a couple of hours. Definitely recommend going on a Friday evening for the music etc. Thanks guys

We ordered fried sardines, octopus 🐙 on the grill and moussaka. The sardines were delicious The octopus was a bit chewy but tasty The moussaka was a catastrophe. Coz we’ve had many moussaka during the week but this was not the same thing. Must have been frozen and definitely not fresh. Eventually they admitted it.. we had to return it back.. The atmosphere is really authentic and they were kind and welcoming.

Went for lunch on day trip, octopus, calamari and filo feta with honey sauce, absolutely beautiful and very nice atmosphere... 10/10...perfect 👍
