Lunch ends before nightlife starts
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.
Go early. The restaurant often closes around 6pm, hare sells out and road traffic makes outside tables noisy; arrive by 4:30, ask what remains and choose indoors if engines interrupt conversation.
What visitors say
Kantouni draws strong Tripadvisor support and current local custom; daily dishes, fast service and sub-€20 meals lead praise, while early closure, sold-out hare and road noise require planning.
