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.

a month agoLittle gem off the main street. Well worth the trip and value for money. Food was delicious portions huge!! Highly recommend 👌 We went early in the evening and didn't have to wait for a table. However, to avoid disappointment would recommend booking in advance.

a month 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.

2 months agoBest 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.
