Piccadilly

We first went to Alykes and the Piccadilly last year and loved both the resort and the restaurant. We returned to Alykes  for the second time this year and once again ate at the Piccadilly on several occasions. We were not disappointed.  It was superb - just as we remembered it.  We were impressed by the service, friendliness of the staff, quality and range of food. All the food is great and the desserts are outstanding! We cannot wait to go back next year.

Where would Alykes be without the Piccadilly.

Where would we be with nowhere to eat.

Well this is not a problem. The Piccadilly is “The Place” to eat in Alykes.

The METAXA family and staff always make you feel welcome and you always made to feel part of their family.

The food is traditionally Greek and always cooked to perfection.

Our 5^th year of always eating there and the menu is still as refreshing, well presented, excellently cooked and of the highest quality.

We would highly recommend this restaurant, “Simply the Best”

Thank you Petros, Christina and the family METAXA. A holiday to remember.

See you all very soon.

We spent one week in Alykes and on our second night we discovered the Piccadilly - we enjoyed our meal enormously and returned every day for our evening meal.  The food was excellent and beautifully presented.The service was excellent.  After our first day and as we were hooked on the Greek salad for a starter -  on subsequent days we did not even have to place our starter and drinks order - the staff were so observant that within moments upon arrival the aforementioned arrived at our table. What wonderful service.  After the first Greek salad which to my disappointment was served with only 4 olives I spoke to Petrus and from then on we had our little joke of counting the pips (17 + most times). We enjoyed lovely fish dishes and the Vegetarian food was very good - maybe a little more choice could be offered of the latter. We noticed many of the same clientele every evening.  We certainly will return there. Well done Petrus and Kristina!!! 

 Undoubtedly the best restaurant in Alykes. The Metaxa family always give you a warm welcome and the service is second to none. The food is well presented and fairly priced. We have been going to Alykes for the last seven years and always choose to eat here. The menu is varied and caters for all. The addition of the bouncy castle this year is a brilliant idea, especially for families with children. Favourite meals include Octopus, Calamari, Stifado, Kleftiko, infact a fortnight is not enough time to try the entire menu. Will definitely be returning next year.  

A must place to go for a meal,  good food, staff  really nice, prices reasonable, hopefully we'll be back next year for more.

We ate here twice  the first time we waited an hour for our food but it was worth it, the second time we waited 15 minutes again it was worth waiting for. It would`nt hurt the staff to smile once in a while. They have a bouncy castle for the children which they love.

again a lovely restaurant , my youngest dauhters fave was the mixed fish plate , we ate 3 times here and wernt disapointedlovely food , excellent staff

The Piccadilly is our favourite place to eat in Alykes. We have been eating at the Piccadilly since our first visit to Zante and this year was our 10^th visit.  The food, wine and service are always excellent and the price for a meal is very reasonable. The menu has many nice Greek dishes unlike many of the other restaurants in Alykes which tend to cater for the typical British tourist specialising in egg and chips and roast beef on Sundays. The owners Petros and Christina always make us welcome and it is a pleasure to visit them.  Petros has added a children's play area this year with a large bouncy castle where children can play while parents can enjoy a leisurely meal close by. We have already booked to return to Alykes in 2006 and the Piccadilly will be the place we will choose to eat at on our first evening.

the food here was very different - i had squid grilled and stuffed with tomato sauce. very fresh and well cooked. service was terrible though - think we got the owner's son who was very half a**ed! prices are a bit more than in other places but the standard of food makes it worth it.

Has a meal here the first night and ended upe ating here for the majority of the holiday. Food was fresh and tasty. Desserts were good too!

We ate here on a regular basis during our 2 week holiday from 15th August 2004 to 29th August 2004.

The staff were great. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The service was extremely efficient and friendly. The food was always excellent. There was a wide variety of dishes, and the desserts were wonderful!

We cannot wait to go back!

Had an excellant meal at this restaurant. Very traditional greek food. Was prepared quickly. Prices were also very reasonable. Would definitely recommend this one.

first visual impression was excellent with layout and ambience, was then followed with excellent service, superb food and all reasonably priced. If you like meatballs then try the piccadily ones, melt in your mouth, not like the ones back home that stick in your mouth. Went there twice during our 2 weeks on the island, sadly it was the last two days. An exceptional establisment, all credit to owners and staff.

In my opinion, one of the best restaurants in the area. Never had a bad meal here and it is also very reasonably priced.

Excellent restaurant with a lovely ambience - lots of little lights surrounding the restaurant area. Prompt and efficient service, lovely food - huge portions. Only visited this once during our stay in Summer 2003 but will definitely be on our list to eat there when we return in August 2004.

We tried the Piccadilly on 2 occasions and were not disappointed. By far the cheapest and best value for money restaurant in Alykes. The local white wine from the barrel was the best we tasted during our 2 week holiday, and we had wine every night with our meal ! The starters were probably the best we had with giant beans and garlic mushrooms 2 that spring to mind. We ate fish both times, and the swordfish fillet is recommended, as is the cod served with a garlic sauce. Staff spoke very good English, and were very attentive.

very good like it alot...........

Good value for money. Service was very professional.

Just spent 2wks in Alykes.Once we'd tried the food here we were 'hooked'.The food,presentation, price and service was excellent. Yammas,Christina and staff.

Following our 3rd stay at the Piccadilly (July 2003)we would like to thank the Metaxa family for making us feel part of their family. The accommodation is superb and we only after fall downstairs for the best 3 course meal in Alykes. We hope to see you all soon in 2004. Keep the stiffado hot and get plenty of strawberrys in. Take care Bill & Kath Banks and Jenny xxx.

Yum!

Would recommend the piccadilly, food was great and there was a good selection of vegetarian, not just vine leaves stuffed toms and peppers!, the prices are really reasonable, I think it was one of the cheapest places we ate and the portions are good.

Once again the food was fantastic & service excellent.Petros & Christina are wonderfull host's.

Fantastic food, would strongly reccommend it to anyone staying in Alikes

Terry and Norma Lightood stayed at the Piccadilly (they have apartments to rent also)in June 2003 and October 2002. The Metaxa family are lovely people who are now our friends. Tried most things on the menu cannot fault anything, the service is always with a smile and the food is delicious (well done Lefterry if you were not married to Athena I would have to marry you myself!) We like it so much we are going back in October for more. Its so easy to book a flight and call Petros or Christina to book a room. You can reach them on 003026950-83606, try it you will be hooked!

we had the usual warm welcome from Petros and Christina the food was as good as ever.Bert had is favourite dish liver our special restaurant also had a lot of fun with them all we hope to return again soon

Food and service better than we remembered .A place that caters for all ages .

This family run restaurant was excellent, very friendly we had lots of fun with Petros and Christina, the menu covers a wide range of foods something to suit every taste, great Kids meals, and a sweet menu to die for.. We visited several times during our stay in Alykes and tried lots of different things traditional local dishes, Steak, fish, Pasta, everthing we had was cooked and presented beautifully. We are planning another visit to the island and will definitely be eating at the Piccadilly. so see you all soon..

we have just returned from the piccadilly form the third visit 15 june 2003. the food is excellent, the care it is prepared with is only bettered by the friendliness of petros and his family, we cant wait to return, next year seems too long to wait.

Congratulations on an excellent restaurant. The service is quick and very friendly. We have stayed in Alykes many times and always make a point of eating there several times during our stay. The kleftiko is really tasty and the mexican meatballs is a firm favourite.

We look forward to seeing Petros and Christine in September.

Food to die for the lobster and prawn cocktail was delicious, kleftiko, Stiffado and mushroom steak yum yum. Very efficient staff. Wish they were here in England.

we have stayed in alykes for the past seven years,and found nothing to match,the service &food,at the piccadilly.we now also stay in their appartments,and have no plans to stay or eat anywhere else.the metaxa family who own and run the piccadilly are very friendly and go out of their way to please you,and make your stay as enjoyable as possible.nothing is any trouble and once you have been there they never forget you.do try the prawn cocktail and the chicken fillet a la piccadilly.

Wonderful food. Great service. Well worth a try!

In my opinion, one of the best restaurants in Alykes. Probably eaten here about 20 times over the years and never had a bad meal. The prawn and lobster cocktail is a meal in itself.

stayed at panorama studios basic but clean.good pool and poolside bar.quit but handy for beach.tried a lot of resturants.founf zorbas,relax,beezle and skippys to be good value for money. good safe beach.a place for a quiet relaxing holiday. alec
