Zakynthos Town · Restaurant

Ammos Taverna

Name: Ammos Taverna
Price range: €€

Ammos fills Agios Dionysios Square with tables under eucalyptus trees, facing Zakynthos port and a public playground. Fried or grilled calamari, fish, salads and straightforward Greek plates come with flexible sides, followed by a house sweet and honey liqueur.

Our take

Eucalyptus shades the port plates

Families get room to move, but highchairs are not available. Reserve near the square rather than the road, ask before staff substitute a sold-out wine and order seafood à la carte instead of assuming every port-side plate came from the day's catch.

What visitors say

Ammos holds 4.6 from about 2,246 Tripadvisor reviews and a 2025 Travelers' Choice award; hospitality, calamari, portions and complimentary dessert dominate current reports.

Platforms researched: Tripadvisor. Last reviewed: August 2026.

Restaurant

Kantouni Estiatorio

Kantouni sits ten minutes behind Zakynthos Town's seafront, serving Greek families from a plain room where the small menu changes with the market. Hare, oven dishes, local vegetables, grilled meat and house wine replace the laminated catalogue common along the port.

Restaurant

Marpesa Gastro Bar

Marpesa occupies a polished room just off Agios Markos Square, with live guitar on some evenings and table service built around wine. Reworked pasticcio, grilled mushrooms with vegan sauce, composed salads, seafood and burgers allow mixed groups to avoid the town's repetitive taverna menus.

Restaurant

Nostimon Imar

Nostimon Imar faces Ammos across Agios Dionysios Square, using outdoor tables and a broad family-recipe menu from brunch through late dinner. Fresh fish, grills, cooked Greek dishes and vegetable plates make it useful for groups with dietary restrictions.
