“The best restaurant in Elounda”

Reviewed 24 May 2013 NEW

The lotus Eaters is definitely the best restaurant in Elounda. The staff make you welcome as soon as you enter the restaurant, the view from the restaurant is amazing. The food is of a very high standard, beautifully presented and tastes amazing. It is very good value for such wonderful food. I have been to many restaurants in Elounda but... More

“The BEST in Elounda!”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW via mobile

I'm not one for a knee-jerk trip advisor review, but I'm unable to hold back on this delight. I'm literally frothing at the mouth. My wife and I were spoilt at Lotus Eaters twice last year and returned again tonight to find it had not lost any of its charm and utter brilliance. At lunch we cheekily requested our favourite...

“Really lovely meal, great service”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

We ate here in early April when we were visiting Elounda as part of our honeymoon. Elounda was quite quiet as it was out of season and this was one of the few restaurants that was open. It is not the most visible restaurant as it is not on the main strip on the square but we were very glad... More

Thank you for taking the time to review us, its good to know that even early season we were on form and ready. We always open early because virtually no one else does and that is a shame because the weather was good,only a little chilly at night(hense the blankets). I am glad that we were a lasting memory whilst... More

“Very Good Simple Greek Taverna”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

We ate here only once on our recent holiday and regretted not going back on our last night. When you walk along the seafront, you will get accosted by all sorts of restauranteurs selling their wears - keep walking - especially past The Ferryman (but thats another story!) Lotus Eaters is right at the end of the Boardwalk and is... More

Thank you for your amazing review of our restaurant,you have just about summed us up: we are a small restaurant tucked away at the end of a(sometimes)pushy promenade which can make us not so easy to find, it does, however, mean that we benefit from no traffic and very few disruptions in a very peaceful part of town. Our dream... More

“Excellent meal”

We had an excellent meal here with very good service from the co-owner who was able to give back ground and information about the food he was serving. The place had a friendly atmosphere combined with a professional service.

“Friendly quality value”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 via mobile

Visited based on prior recommendations and went back for a second visit the following day. A little out of the way in Elounda but worth hunting down. Excellent food, good value, and served in a friendly atmosphere by the chatty owners. Nice cat too...

“Wonderful”

Reviewed 9 May 2013 via mobile

Ate here on 2 occasions lunch and diner. Food and service excellent. We were only in Elounda for 4 nights had we been here for longer we definitely would have returned. Certainly the best eating place in Elounda. Highly recommended for a visit.

“Perfect Spot.”

Reviewed 27 April 2013 via mobile

Standing looking out from the marina Lotus Eaters is in the far right corner of the bay. Danny and his small team will look after you with superb food and service to match. We went there on a recommendation from someone in our hotel and we were not disappointed. Great views from your table across the bay.
