The square orders scallop risotto
Nissi occupies a large section of Lefkada's central square, serving island-led Mediterranean cooking rather than a fixed regional script. Scallop risotto, tuna pasta, grilled octopus, local sea bass and a layered house salad handle both couples and large groups.
Book at peak dinner time and ask to see whole fish before it reaches the grill. Recent criticism targets oily calamari, salty courgettes and an expensive seafood platter, so order individual catch or risotto instead of the mixed platter; prices sit slightly above average.
What visitors say
Nissi rates 4.4 from about 939 Tripadvisor reviews and holds a Travelers' Choice award; fish, octopus, risotto and service draw repeat praise, with fried seafood the clearest weakness.
