Eat beneath the village plane tree for a traditional menu away from the tightest row of harbour tables
Platanos works well after the castle walk, when shade and a substantial lunch matter more than an uninterrupted sea view. Look for Kefalonian meat pie, vegetable dishes and daily specials, asking which recipes and ingredients are actually prepared in house. Shared plates make it easier to explore beyond grilled standards.
The village fills abruptly when road traffic peaks, so reserve for dinner or arrive before conventional lunch time. State allergies clearly and confirm seasonal opening. Do not try to park beside the table area; leave the car in designated spaces above the centre.
