4 months agoWe had a very nice experience at this restaurant. The food was tasty, well cooked, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and very welcoming, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. A special thank you to our waitress Yuliia, who kindly explained Greek cuisine to us and gave thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. Her approach was very personable and made us feel well taken care of. What stood out the most was the genuine hospitality and the traditional character of the cuisine — it really adds charm to the place. The only small downside is that the prices were a bit higher than we expected. Compared to similar dishes in other restaurants, this place is on the higher end of the price range. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience with great service and authentic food, and we would still recommend it.

2 months agoA Standout Seafood Spot in Kos Town We visited Sardelles Fish Taverna in July and were genuinely impressed from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing, with every dish cooked to perfection. The sea bream was beautifully fresh and full of flavour, while the seafood risotto was rich, comforting, and packed with gorgeous seafood. The service was excellent—warm, attentive, and delivered with the kind of friendliness that makes you instantly feel welcome. Combined with the lovely, relaxed atmosphere, it created a dining experience that really stood out during our time in Kos. A place we’d highly recommend to anyone looking for top‑quality seafood in Kos Town.

4 months agoWe ate the grilled octopus (recommended): amazing! Then the sea carbonara, the best dish of the night. I would come back just for this. And the fried calamari weren’t too oily, crispy and flavor like they should be. Overall experience 10/10. Service needs a shout out too! Amazing people and vibes
