food very good, we tried others but kept going back. staff are fantastic a nice atmosphere.

Sam D  (16 July 2007)        10/10

This has gotter be one of the best resturants in argassi the staff are brilliant exspecially Stuart. The food is always very nice cant fault it one bit. We always come back to the castways at least twice when we are in argassi because the food is so good. The food i had when i went was the hickory chicken this is very nice its a piece of chicken with bacon and cheese melted on top you can also have it with bbq sauce but i found the sauce a bit to strong as im not a bbq sauce fan. Hope all staff enjoy the reast of the season and im sure ur see most of us next year take care.

Sam and all the other 15 in our group

I returned from Argassi last Tuesday and can honestly say it is the best holiday i have ever had and we will be returning next June.

The 2 weeks that we were there we ate at Castaways 5 times and it was amazing everytime.  Kate, Lauren and Vicky are wkd and so very friendly.
 
Try the steak and blue cheese fajitas they're really tasty.  Also the griddled king prawns as a main are fantastic.

Susan and her pal wi the amazing green eyes  

M D  (21 November 2006)         

food ok, they do flaming fajitas which looked nice and tastes ok, but the chicken was a little tough.  If you do not want to eat where you can here load music --do not go here.

Debbie E  (29 October 2006)         

Didn't go to Castaways until our 4 th night but after a few recommendations we went and it was well worth the wait!

From the friendly staff to the generous servings and the beautifully decorated desserts it was the best
restaurant we went to in Argassi and would give it 10/10.It's not that the food was overly exotic or
one-of-a-kind but it was simple but very tasty and portions were big!

Wendy H  (16 October 2006)         

 hi 2 all at castaways.you ave just gotta try the sunday dinner.its the best we,ve ever had.when we go back,will defo eat there more often,as there is so much 2 choose from u can eat different every night.chef was mint,good luck in lanzarote.xx

Laura C  (13 October 2006)         

We ate here twice and both meals were great. There's a small play area for children and proper highchairs. Fast service and all the staff very helpful

Martin C  (06 October 2006)         

Loved it went there twice, get the fajitas - they dont just taste good they look good when they come out! (you will know what i mean if you have been there)

Jon B  (06 October 2006)         

Really great food. Went there three times on the holiday and would strongly recommend!!!

Lianne L  (05 October 2006)

Once again had many an excellant meal here think between us we have worked our way through the menu on the many occassions we ate here,  their sizzling fajitas are out of this world!!! and there is a lovely little play area for the kids to play in to keep them occupied.

Stuart is absolutley fantastic and our little girl loves him to pieces, she wanted to eat here every night so that she could see him!!  Chloe the waitress is one of the best in Argassi and nothing was too much trouble she even got my little Chloe to eat more of her dinner (something we were not having any success with)
 
Stuart best of luck for the coming year and hopefully we will see you soon... give us a call when you're back over in the UK.

Alan R  (02 September 2006)         

Great place. Excellent food, well presented and good value for money.

This is a Great Restaurant, Thank you to everyone there...  Food, Service and everthing else was outstanding.  

The Flamming Fajitas, are a must if you try Castaway's they are just the best..
 
Do Not let that horrible man at Peter's Restaurant put you off coming here, just ignore him and head straight to Castaways, Everything about the place is Excellent.

Peter Y  (22 July 2006)         

Good freindly service and large choice of food which is well presented and tastes good. 

Andy &  (20 July 2006)         

We ate here on our first night based on the reviews on this website and it really is 10/10. We went back a couple of times over the two weeks we were out there and always had a lovely meal. On our last night we both had the fillet steak which was worth every euro, cooked to perfection! Staff were very friendly and the pr not too pushy. Would definitely recommend

Gary J  (17 July 2006)         

Great food great staff great service and most of all very reasoanbly priced

Castaways is by far the best place for food in argassi. All the staff were excellent. You must definately go here.... the food was lovely, the price was excellent and the PR Stu was really friendly and helpful.

We would reccomend beef stifado, lasagne, steak and flaming fajitas are a must
 
Thanks to all the staff for making our holiday a great one!!
 
See you next year! 
 
(Hope your leg is getting better Emma)

Verona Z  (15 July 2006)

Cheers Stu and everyone,

Really great location. Welcome before we even entered was fantastic. Loved the palm trees and outside area. Staff were wonderful; it was great to have british and greek staff. Very enjoyable meal!

Georgie C  (23 June 2006)         

Had a great atmosphere. Were so helpful when we came in with a table of about twenty! All the staff were very cool and they got to know who we were im sure... the Scottish!! Any way a brilliant place to be and the fajitas were impressive. Liked it v much. xxx

Old M  (22 June 2006)         

Amazed that Stu recognised us from last year!

We ate here twice, the burgers are massive and tasty (or should I say nostimo), and the fajitas are the mutt's nuts. Thoroughly recommend Castaways.

Juliette H  (17 June 2006)         

 
What a fab restaurant, good staff good food and not too badly priced either!

Great place to eat, staff are excellent and very freindly
great for there sunday roast.

Matt R  (08 June 2006)         

All staff were brilliant stu keeps brits up to date with news, tried other restaurants but kept going back to castaways.  Beef stifado excellent and Lamb kleftiko superb chef even shared his recipe so i could still enjoy it at home.  by far best place to eat in argassi.

Reg M  (04 June 2006)         

The food is okay, it's very English. Stu is a nice but the owner Pete is a little too smarmy for my liking.

Jackie H  (02 June 2006)         

   Castaways was the best restaurant that we visited in Argassi. We tried to sample a different one each night, Castaways is the only one we went to more than once! Very friendly staff, delicious food (Cajun chicken is great), and mouth-watering banofee pie!  Say Hi to Stu, he does a fantastic job welcoming you to the rooftop restaurant, not hassling you or chasing you down the street like some others(Peter). Try it once and you'll be sure to go back to try another delicious dish.

Best wishes, thanks for a friendly evening meal. From the cajun chickentrio from Manchester! ( Remember us Stu?)

Kelsi, karen, george   (02 June 2006)

Amanda N  (05 November 2005)         

 
We were expecting great things after reading the reviews, but were left feeling dissapointed.  Food and service pretty average although the restaurant setting and lay out was lovely.

Elaine O  (04 November 2005)         

Sorry better if I added the comment !

 
My friend and I have just returned from Argassi and we ate at Castaways nearly every night.  We thought the food was excellent, especially the moussaka.  We had children and their meals were great too, there was a very little play area but enough to keep the kids occupied whilst the meal was being prepared. Kids enjoyed themselves.  The service was excellent, staff very friendly. If we were to return to Argassi it would definitely be Castaways for tea !!
 
We have to say though we agree with some of the comments re Peter's bar, the food was terrible, he does try to drag you in, hence the reason we ended up there. Definitely one to be avoided.

Kelly B  (26 October 2005)         

Went to Castaways after reading all the rave reviews .... must admit, I to was a little disappointed.

The vies from upstairs was lovely, the restaurant really clean & the staff were great.  My boyfriend had the flaming fajitas, which looked very impressiver, but the taste did let them down a little, all I can say is very 'herby'.  I went for the special chicken, perhaps some of the herbs could have gone onto this, a tad bland.
 
BUT, the greek meze share to start was fantastic

Lisa I  (19 October 2005)         

I must admit we tried Castaway based on previous reviews and we were very disappointed, the meals we had were awful, I tried the pasta carbonara and they sauce was watery and all I could taste was the mushrooms, if  I had wanted Al Funghi I would have asked for it.  We did give it one more go on our last night, it was better but still nothing to write home about.

Keeley M  (17 October 2005)         

Well what can i say! Myself and my boyf loved this restuarant we were in argassi from the 7/7 - 14/7 and we ate here everynight.. The food was out of this world..i loved the pastichata and jay loved bangers and mash. The staff were great and the service was prompt.. The weather was crap, the resort weren't all that either, but castaways gave us something to look forward too.. Thanks esp' the waiter who has a sore throat, glad the honey and lemon worked.. Hey you guy's need to expand and get ur asses to england we need food glorious food and u know exactly how to achieve this.. Good luck in the future we wish you all well.. Keeley and Jay   oh yeah big up the zakyanthian (i think) Lamb!!!! 

Megan M  (17 October 2005)         

hi there mr castaway (stuart),
how's things in argassi? we are home now and very depressed. we are missing you all already. thanks for brightening up our 'holiday from hell'. if you are ever passing through scotland look us up, you will be more than welcome! see tou soon.
love karen and angela (and robbie, the devil child).
xx

Louisa R  (12 October 2005)         

We ate there twice, it wasn't the best meal I had over the holiday overcooked chicken and on the second time we went the chicken wasn't cooked enough.

Jen E  (12 October 2005)         

hey, just gotta say, that castaways was definitely the highlight of our holiday!!!we had a pretty crap time, with awful accomadation, a few crappy days weather, bad experiences at the airport, but the staff and food at castaways always knew how to cheer us up!!we came bk so many times that the staff even knew what my dad was gonna order, haha!!!think he'd like me to mention the zakynthian lamb here, haha!!

anyway, hope all the staff are well, you guys rule-special shout out to stu and si, you guys are hot!!!haha!!
listen people, you gota try this place at least once...you havent lived otherwise!!!hahaha!!
Jen xxxx

Lezlee H  (10 October 2005)         

Castaways was our favourite place to eat - plenty on the plates and at an excellent price too - the Zankinthos Roast Lamb was lush !! A definate must for food lovers !!!

Barbara T  (04 October 2005)         

the food the service and the staff are all excellent you must try the sword fish in lemon sauce  they do a great sausage and mash and the puddings are so yummy. Stuart on the door is not at all pushy at trying to get you in ,if you do not go here while on holiday you will have missed out on a great meal it is a place you must go to we ate here 4 nights out of 7  

Gemma C  (22 September 2005)         

we came here quite a few times when we stayed in argassi, we would definitly recommend it!

the food is gorgeous (as are many members of  the staff hehe) was always really full after and quite often couldn't finish the meal coz there was loads of it! (although emma finished it one night and got a certificate off si and a free shot of the boss hehe, she was so proud!) the prices of the food are very reasonable, we would recommend the steak wraps, fajitas and cheese burger! mmm
 
the staff are really friendly and helpful and will do anything to make you happy, it has a good atmosphere and a lovely view of the resort as it is a roof top resturant!
would definitly go there again!
 
finally wanna say hi to si who works there! you are great! brrru!
lots of love gemma, emma, sian and carron (from liverpool) x

Rob G  (16 September 2005)         

great place to eat hi stu rob here from kiss bar last year take care mate  

Paul K  (13 September 2005)         

seems to me jenni jones you dont like anywere in argassi best stick to the costa brava i think  not a big fan of this restaurant myself for personal reasons no other reason food is good and the staff are as well

Julie J  (05 September 2005)         

We all loved it here and went back several times.  Lots of waiters/waitresses available making the service fast and efficient.  All were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble, even when we knocked over an almost-full bottle of wine.  If you get there before it gets busy you can pick your own table.  This place had the biggest menu out of all the places we went in Argassi -- even I was spoilt for choice and I'm a veggie!  Large portions -- the desserts looked lovely but we never had room to try them after the main course.  I was very happy with the prices.
