Filio Tavern - Livadi

The food is delicious. Numerous local recipes prepared with local products. Try the tiganopsomo (fried bread dough), marathodkeftedes (fried fennel balls), fried stuffed zucchini flowers and stuffed vine leaves. Though you will not always get a receipt (unless you ask).

Must visit. Very close to chora, kapsali and firi ammos beach. Traditional food, very tasty local options, friendly staff and quick service. Highly recommended.

- good quality food in generous portions. - a few non mainstream recipes but still great. - nice service - all in all highly recommended

Without a doubt, the BEST Tavern on the Island. The photos: Rusk with tomatoes, peppers and olives, Aubergine salad (superb), Rabbit Stifado was unbelievably good and Pork chop with greens. This is a tavern that you have to visit. Staff are friendly and polite.

Food was really tasty and well prepared. We tried their smoked pork which was delicious. Also the local pasta with aubergine and it was amazingly tasty. Both toatally recommended!!! Price for value was good and in the end we were offered the local aperitif Fatourada. The place is definite visit when you go to Kythera Service was good and friendly.

Had heard a lot about this place, but the actual experience exceeded my expectations. Excellent quality of ingredients that are produced locally, fine traditional recipes with lovely flavours. The rooster in red sauce is a hit or miss! House wine was also great. All this located at a beautiful leveled veranda, with kind and fast staff, at reasonable prices. If you can only have one meal in Kythera, it should be here!

We just visited the place, June 4/2022, after recommendations we heard from friends in Athens. I have to admit this was a really great dinner. Ok, the place was not full, 5-6 tables, so service was super friendly, Eugenia the waitress was very talkative, smiling, explained in details the dishes and apologized for not having everything that was written on the menu ( just the fourth day since opening). We also had the chance to meet Niko, the owner, a really positive, friendly man, who had the idea to start the place in 1998, in the middle of nowhere and succeeded because of experience and quality. The restaurant is serving their own products, bread from their own wheat, rooster and meat are theirs, of course olive oil, olives and wine. We found the portions really big, hardly could finish. Very clean place in a terrace with many plants, private parking, fair prices, offers a sweet or a small home made drink at the end. We will definitely return to taste more dishes for sure. I read some negative comments about: I really don't understand the ones talking about quantity, quality and expensive prices. BUT we came off season, so everybody was relaxed. I maybe wouldn't go in August ( like nowhere in Greece), since famous, good places get really crazy busy, so service might be "stressed", but I m definitely sure that quality and prices would be the same.

The taverna has two parking lots, so getting a spot is seldom an issue. The food was tasty and the prices were reasonable. The service is incredibly pleasant and cheerful. It's a must-visit because it's regarded as one of the island's top tavernas, and based on our experience, it's well-deserved. If you have a group of four or more persons, you can ( and should ) make a reservation.
