Olive Tree Restaurant

We visited this restaurant in early october, we found the restaurant was really nice and well presented. The food was very nice here and service was good. I had spaghetti bolognaise which was really nice. My brother had gammon steak which also looked very nice.

Had a lovely meal here in August.  Was our first visit to this restaurant and it will be the first of many.  The Chicken Athina was delicious.  Great food, lovely staff and excellent service.  See you again next year

Mmmmmm!!  Beef Athena.   Does anyone have the recipe for this, we'd love to make it at home byut cannot find it anywhere.

After reading all the comments we were looking forward to eating here.  What a disaster!!  My husband had mousakka it was vry sloppy.  I had grilled king prawns on a skewer looked very nice until I turned the skewer over and the prawns were burnt.  I wanted to send the meals back but my husband did not want to make a fuss.  Neadless to say we would not go back to this restaurant.

Good food and prices, but we felt rushed to eat up and get out as quite a queue was forming at the bar. Nothing was said but you had somebody at your table every time you put your fork down.

Maybe we were there at the wrong time as others told us it was thier fav restaurant.

We ate here 1 night and the food was the nicest I ate all holiday. There was only 1 problem that they forgot our starters and just brought over our main but they apologised and gave us a free drink! Excellent service, staff and food, we didnt care about the mix up because they were fab about it and things happen!

We eat several nights at the Olive Tree during our 14 days in Kalamaki and this was the best. I am so sorry to read one bad report below mine. The staff were really friendly and the food and wine fantastic. The best meal was the Chicken and Mango stir fry, just to die for, bot so was the Beef Athena.

 Another excellent restaurant, to be fair we tried a few and never had a bad experience in 14 days.

We ate here twice during our stay.

We stayed at kalamaki for 2 weeks & tried various restaurants but found the Olive Tree the best & ended up eating there on 6 occasions, having a different meal each time & never been dissapointed.

This just shaded it as our favourite restaurant. The menu is varied and extensive, price is reasonable, staff friendly and efficient, good atmosphere and never overcrowded. Make sure you visit - you will not be disappointed.

Without doubt this is the best restaurant in Kalamaki.   We ended up eating there on 7 separate occasions.

Just got back from Kalamaki and luckily we discovered the Olive Tree on our second night.  Needless to say, we ate there four nights out of seven (and wished we had eaten there the other three!!)  Our favourite dishes were the tagliatelle al forno, stuffed vine leaves, tortellini venetia, baclavas and custard slices.  Excellent choices for vegetarians, and huge portions.  The staff were friendly and efficient and always made us feel welcome.  On our first night, we ate at Mermaids but in our opinion, Olive Tree beats it hands down.  See you next year!!

 Really enjoyed eatting here, we went there twice in the week that we were there.  The food was really good and great portion sizes.  The menu was great, there was a wide variety of everything from pasta, greek food, meat dishes, fish dishes, pizza, faijitas - it took so long to decide what to actually order.  the staff were friendly and very welcoming, would defo say give it a try!

We just spent 2 weeks in beautiful Zante and ate at the Olive tree three times...we couldnt help but keep coming back for more! We had the combo platter with a selection of typical Greek foods such as tzaziki, stuffed vine leaves, meat balls, etc for starter and it was fantastic everytime! Very reasonably priced aswell at around 9 euro-compared to a starter platter at 12.90 in the Mermaids restaurant up the road (dont go there, the service is atrocious!). The Olive Tree also offers a wide range of Vegetarian foods. The vegetables were always fresh and all sauces/dips home made and yummy. DEFINITELY worth a try!!!!!

hey everyone!! kirsty, ami, stacey & georgina here!

we wrote our names and addresses in your guestbook....we are still waiting for your card yannis!

hey everyone! kirsty, ami, stacey and georgina here!

Efcharisto to George, Yannis and Jimmy Spieros and all the staff for great company and very nice food.  Ate here most nights and all the dishes we tried were really good, Zakynthian Beef and Meze Combo were particuarly nice.  Our meal on the 19th October was particulary interesting when the restaurant was shaking!! (Earthquake)

This was definately the best place we ate. The portions were huge. The staff very friendly. I had chicken and mango stir fry, it was to die for. The price for 3 courses and the house wine was really unbelievable. We will be back again next year.

Have been to the resort three times, however only tried the Olive Tree this time!  What have we been missing??!.  A fabulous menu to choose from and the food was excellent. Will defo be back to this place!!! 

Just come back from Kalamaki, where we went on our honeymoon and in my opinion, Olive Tree was without a doubt the best restaurant I've ever been to-the portions are huge, the staff are very friendly and the prices are more than reasonable, considering the sizes of the meals! I recommend salmon salad and baklavas-probably not together, though!

We just got back from Zante had a lovely two weeks, The olive tree was are favorite beacuse it was consistant a good standard of food and resonable price. The staff are very nice and funny and gave us a warm welcome, we did have some nice meals in other restrants in Kalamaki yet we seemed to retrn here every other night! try there pasta dishes or Lamb lovely! there sweets are very tasty bad for thouse on diets, Ps Large beer comes in a large girlie glass so you wont look very manly if you order a large one!!

a big thanks to all the staff. The lamb of the house is wounderful we will be back next year

when i went to the olive tree i had a borito which was one of the nicest meals i had whilst in zante, the prices were extremly reasonable considering the huge portions that yu got, the waiting staff were very friendly. wud defo go back next time.

We went here 3 times in our 2 weeks stay in Kalamaki we loved it so much.  The stuffed mushrooms for starters were mouth watering and we couldn't get enough.  Another great thing about the Olive Tree is that it is open all day so you don't have to wait until 6 when the other places open.  The staff were great, very friendly and the price were great, very cheap.

 We went to the Olive Tree 3 times during our two week stay and really enjoyed our meal each time.  The food was delicious, especially the beef Athena, you get big portions, the roast potatoes are gorgeous and the staff are so friendly.  The baklavas from this restaurant is the best - much better than anywhere else!

We enjoyed a good meal here, a genuine Greek atmosphere. Nice meze and souvlaki, pasta carbonara good too.

We had our first meal here when we arrived in Kalamaki and it was lovely. We only went once as we were only there for 1 week but we would have gone back again if we have had longer. It was my favorite restaurant (the Pandesia was) but it was still worth a visit!!

We loved the Olive Tree restuarant, my boyfriend (Spuddy)and I went there for dinner about 4 times! boring I know, but it was all so lovely. The chef was even interested in how I cook/present food, when I said that the nachos' were a bit different, and he was going to change them. Everything was yum and there were very good about saying what to eat and not pushing you to the expensive things. We will prob go back to Kalamaki to eat with them again! lovely!

Congratulations George and Michael on your success with the restaurant, sorry we did not get back to say goodbye, but we will see you again next year.

Food is excellent, setting is very good well done. We recommend the restaurant to any of our friends who may be in Kalimaki on holiday.

We ate here at least five nights out of fourteen The food was great especially the feta saganaki, Huge portions , Friendly staff
Will be back for more next year guys
See you then.

The food was good, huge portions. Did try Baaclava for desert, didnt kniow what it was, one of the waiters was happy to explain what it was.Food was good and the taverna was clean and friendly.
Not the best we have been to but definately worth a visit.

This was one of the best places to eat. The portions were massive and personally i loved the fact they did breaded garlic mushrooms for a starter. Loved the service, real friendly and quick.

Lovely food all the time. The staff are so frendly and would do anythink. The Scampi is gorge. It is a must

everytime we went to the olive tree the food and service was great. there is a wide range of food available including local cusine, many meat dishes, pizza, pastas and an excellent vegetarian menu.

The local Zante dishes are great and the waiters very good. The lamb specialities are worth trying.

the food wasnt that nice and the service was terrible

This is lovely, although my husband got served the wrong meal, and didn't enjoy it too much, as it was completely different to what he ordered. But in all fairness they did volunteer to change it, but my husband isn't a pain like that, so he did eat it!
Our meal was lovely, the chicken with barbecue sauce is lovely, also the one with chilli sauce.

This place was by far the best place to eat in kalamaki! We ate there nearly every night of our two week stay in August! Food was great and the staff were really nice especially Eddie and Henry:) always up for a laugh and few drinks after work! Hope to visit again soon! Thanx lads!
Emily and Paul (mad irish sister and brother)

It was really good there and the service was brilliant.We would go there again on our next visit.Not one bad thing to say about the food or staff. Everyone should go at least once on their visit to Kalamaki. I know I'll be going next time I stay in Kalamaki.

We absolutly LOVED this rest.! Went back EVERY night we were there! Apperently it's brand new,it really was FANTASTIC! One of the places that really made our holiday. Not one bad word about all of the dishes that we tried. I can't to this day say that about ANY rest. on Zante.(...and we've been there 4 times.) Really fabulous food,no matter what day we went.Prices are GREAT! The staff and service was WONDERFUL!! And this place got really jammed some times. Alot of talk about it throughout the resort. BRILL!!Check it out,won't disapoint!
Thanks guys! See ya next year!!
