Apollon Garden Restaurant - Old Market Street

Amazing garden restaurant, couldn't recommend more. Get away from the tourists and have some fantastic food and wine. I had the pork steak delicious but nearly killed me, you got to be hungry for that one!

Very well run place. 10/10 service. Food impressed me. Appealing garden setting too ??

Apollon Garden restaurant is a very cute and romantic restaurant in the heart of Parikia. We just couldn’t stop taking pictures of their beautiful garden. The food was very good, we enjoyed every course. And the staff was so attentive and friendly, they really made us feel welcome and special from the moment we walked through the door. We really loved our evening there.

Excellent food, place, staff and ambiente. You pay more than the average restaurant on the island, but it's definitely worth it. Chef's choice are great meals if you cannot decide. They have very interesting combinations of fruits and meat with a bit of suace. If you are more then 2 people make a reservation upfront, or you must be lucky to get a place.

Restaurant seems to be quite pretentious, but cannot deliver up to its expectations. Starting with the positive: nicely decorated and beautiful garden. Friendly staff. The music playlist for the night were these terrible slowmotion type of covers of musicians who cannot play and singers that are able to turn terrific songs in terrible songs. Usually a red flag for things to come. At start the waitress asked whether I wanted water, and I asked for sparkling. Maybe I looked thirsty because I received the large bottle (4,50) and was not offered the choice between large or small which i later saw on the menu. Never a fan of this unrequested upselling as a small bottle would have been enough. Then the food. The menu already created some confusion with a dish marked vegetarian while it contains salmon, and other seemingly vegetarian dishes were not marked as such or at least I could not understand the logic for not marking them as such. Then the dishes: sykiama came with balsamic glaze (and not aragula pesto). Ok. Then the Haloumi. Ok, but nothing surprised me (which was promised) compared to the average haloumi you can get in a well assorted organic supermarket. Then I was served the Imam. This was rather bland, especially after being served the haloumi. It had again the balsamic glaze (not described on the menu), so had similar tasting food as the starter. The tomato as described was just a tiny little tomato cut in half and it seemed a bit lost. I was a bit disappointed in this dish, had much better cooked eggplant many times before as well, but it didnt match with the rest either and having balsamic glaze a 2nd time was something I would have not picked if this was clearly described. The waitress acknowledged both my remark on the balsamic glaze (but strongly believed this was clearly outlined on the menu - hence it is not two times) and the upselling on the water bottle, but other than apologizing, she made no further attempt to set this right. Average food, high prizes and quite some errors make it only 2 stars for me.

I have travelled to Greece since I was very young and had Moussaka at least a few times per holiday. The moussaka here is the best I have ever had. It was cooked fresh and they prepare you for this by saying there is a 30 minute waiting time on the order. It is worth every minute. The Boatrip starter is a great way to prepare for your main course. Also, to wash it down, the specially bottled house white wine is delicious. Great service. Great atmosphere. Perfect.

This was a fabulous restaurant. Honestly it was a highlight of our trip. It was charming inside, the staff was very friendly, and the food was amazing! The avocado salmon and eggplant tower appetizers were unique and delicious. We also enjoyed the pesto, lamb, and cream chicken. I would HIGHLY recommend this place!

I had the best Moussaka so far in my life!!! It was so rich, flavourful, fresh, warm, and heartful! You'll need to wait a while for the food, but it was worth it. I had the ancient greek salad while waiting, it was also delicious, tangy, fresh, nutty, and fruity. Service was superb, very friendly, atmosphere is also very cozy, I also love that the location is rather 'hidden' that you need to 'find' it. The mood of the people who came are also very fun, one guest just randomly danced with the waitress and we all just laugh!
