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.

in the last weekBest steak ever. Went for the flat iron. Also the fried onion rings are amazing. Such a lovely family business working there. Absolutely reccomend. We went twice during our vacation. If I knew this place earlier I would eat there every night of my stay.

2 weeks agoThe Chasapaki is a steak lovers paradise on Kos! The experience of picking your meat at the butcher counter (with fantastic advice from the butcher) is a unique touch We had the Picanha and it was absolutely to die for, so melt in the mouth, incredibly well seasoned and cooked. The arancini starter was also superb. The service is very very good, our waiter recommended us starters based on what we like and a wine to go with the steak (no upsell, he was very polite and asked our budget and gave us 3 recommendations). If you want to visit in the evening you should book in advance, if you want to go at lunch it's OK! We returned for lunch some days later and had a burger, very juicy and very good value for money. We loved it so much we are going back tonight for our final meal of the holiday!

5 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.

in the last weekTo be fair, we didn't really have a poor meal throughout our 10 days in Kos. Chasapaki was highly recommended to us by another guest at our hotel so we gave it a try and SO glad we did! This is not just about going for a good steak (it was beautiful and one of the best we have every tasted, as was all the food we ordered). The whole experience is truly fabulous! The welcome couldn't be faulted and then we chose our own piece of meat (everything is priced accordingly), then we ordered a lovely bottle of wine to accompany, recommended by the waiter who advised us on all the meats and how they should be cooked. The attention to detail is key here and they are very proud of what they do. If you like your steak, treat yourself and make this a priority in you holiday! Booking is advised as it gets very busy around 7pm. Cannot recommend highly enough!
