Merlis Taverna

. , 4- . !

Just got back from kalamaki, ate in merlis all the time evening meals were amazing three of us ate there , starters mains and desert And drinks was never more than 40 a night.

Hi Merlis,Looking forward to seeing you again,wow,this will be our 18th year with you,nice to read the good comments,BIG yes,10/10,love Jeanette & Ernie

Taverna Merlis is just fab.  Ate there in June with my family.

Were staying in kalamaki, were there last year also, the waiter came up and said he remembered us from last year, it made us feel special, the meal we ordered was very good, the staff were very attentive, it is one of our favourite resturants and when we go back to kalamaki again next year we will certainly be eating there again, the prices were good also.

Just got back from a week in Kalamaki and ate in Merlis Taverna most mornings and every evening. Food is fresh and tasty and represents excellent value for money. They have a daily special on the board outside which provides you with 3 courses for between 7.50 euro and 8.50, a typical example is onion soup starter, kleftiko main and cheesecake dessert . Onion soup is divine as is the feta saganaki and cheese pies. Breakfasts are superb, hubby went for the full english each monring ( 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 rashers bacon, beans, hash brown, mushrooms, toast, tea or coffee & orange juice - cost 5.50euro) and I went for the slightly lighter option of the veggie breakfast which was bascially the same as the full english minus the bacon and sausage (4.50 euro) it really set you up for a day sunbathing. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive and make sure your experience is a good one. Have been going to kalamaki for 10 years now and this place really is the best and most consistent on value and service with a smile. Try it, you will NOT be disappointed.

Had a couple of meals here last year. without dought top quality food at the right prices. Its one of 3 on the must eat at list for us on our next trip to Kalamaki.

Merlis good quality food has taken over where Paris left off.

We have eaten at this resturant for the last four years and not had a problem with it they look after you very well, we didn`t go to Zante last year but am going in a weeks time i will report when we get back

I JUST HAVE TO SAY I DONT KNOW WHICH RESTURANT THESE PEOPLE EAT IN AS I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM KALAMAKI AND EAT IN MERLIS 7 OUT OF 14 NIGHTS.I EAT EVERYTHING FROM ROAST BEEF TO STIFADO TO PIZZA AND HAVE TO SAY I NEVER HAD A BAD MEAL.AS FOR THE SERVICE IT WAS GOOD AS USUAL. I HAVE BEEN TRAVELLING TO KALAMAKI FOR 14 YEARS NOW AND STILL FEEL THAT THIS IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO EAT IN KALAMAKI .

Wasn't impressed with this restaurant at all.  The food lacked something - flavour possibly?  Had chicken souvlaki which was so burnt it was black on the outside, jacket potato was rock hard and cold, as were the vegetables.  No one seemed particulary interested in the fact that most of the dinner was left.  Other diners around us complained and said that the meat was too tough but the waiter did nothing.  Would not recomend this to anyone unfortunately.

There was 8 of us 4 had pizzas and 4 had steaks.Pizzas great steaks terrible1 was so bad he couldnt eat it.Would never go back unless we wanted pizza.We could have soled our flipflops with the steaks

  Dined in the Merlis 3 times.Staff very friendly,food Excellent,prices very cheap. Got a free sweet with every meal. Only found the Melis 3 days before we came home. Wish I had found it earlier

Well i reckon the Merlis has changed since you have been there !! I was in Kalamaki ten years ago when there was only Tesoro and Merlis really! Hardly anything else there ! They were both lovely! I have just got back and we went to Merlis! It was lovely! The food was nice and as my brother said " i dont remember the waitresses being this Fit" So i guess he liked it !

Doing a good Job !! Keep it up!

Does anyone know anybody called Londis???? He worked in Merlis and he knows one of the guys from pandesia, i really want 2 find out where he is and what hes doing, if anybody can help PLEASE email me

We ate at the merlis every night and it was excellent prices and food!!!The freedeserts were lovely and very tasty!The bill was always very low!!!!!!!WE went in one night with 16 and they still managed to find us and area to eat all together and we all loved it!!!!!!!!!Willl definately go back again next year!!!!!!!!!!!The staff are really friendly and very helpful too!!!!!

Can not rate merlis high enough, the food was excellant varied menu and very tasty, free puddings every night which helps to keep the bill down and keeps my children very happy, We ended up eating here 4 times i had the special merlis spaghetti twice and would recomend this dish to anyone it was really scrummy, also the steak in special sauce is also worth ordering, on our last night we went there in a group of  8 and all of us licked our plate clean, the childrens spaghtti bolognaise is a really good portion and my 4 year old loved it

Good food ,lovely staff

Very nice meal with freindly service

 just returned from Kalamaki, what a lovely place. Merlis was the first place we eat at, we had a great meal fantastic valuse for money we went back and had an oter meal there later oin in holiday that was also very good value and lovely food and service  

This is by far THE BEST restaurant in Kalamaki. I have been to Kalamaki twice, and have eaten here both times even thogh my hotel has been miles away! Scary, my mum went to Merlis 20 years ago (when it was a bar) and came back pregnant with me so Takis is my father, and he;s also a wonderful host! I recommend the stuffed vine leaves and moussaka - delicious!!!

Just returned from Kalamaki what a god send Merlis was as nearly all other(decent)restaurants had closed.Excellent food and value for money staff allways there to help and offer advise on meals thanks again.

i can only say this was the 2 bestmeal we had on the island close to first place but pipped by michaloes me my wife and two teenage sons ate here from the specials board 3 courses each for 6 euros each the menu on the board changes every day so allways something diffrent the food was great the service friendly and in pleasant surroundings what more as a family did i need i think its one of the best places to eat far far better then mermaids and not over priced like mermaids would recommend it to any familys going

This year was our 1st visit to Zante and we'd definitely go again. We ate in Merlis 5 times and the food was fantastic and also cheap. All the staff were very friendly and the owner always shook our hands as we left. After our 3rd visit we always got a free round of drinks when we paid the bill, what more could you ask for!!
