Family Restaurant

Hello Peter, Arias and Steven, was here in tsilivi for 2 weeks ate at Family taverna a lot sometimes a table for 5 or for 3 of us. Been coming here since 2006. Food is excellent friendly service too cant fault the place.Will miss the chef waving to us! We will be back.

The Family is one of the very best restaurants in Tsilivi, i have been going to Zante for over 10years now, and this restaurant was there then and is even better than ever before for food and politeness. Don't miss it.  

Have been going here 3 years now every time we come to Zakynthos! Peter have you got that pig for pork in lemon yet? food and service excellent very funny guy and friendly. See you tomorow! Carol, Michael and Heather.

My friend and I stayed in Tsilivi for a fortnight last July and we ate at the Family Taverna nearly every night.  The food and service would be hard to beat at any price.  Peter and the family made us so welcome, that I am going back in June this year.  This will be my 4th visit to Tsilivi, and as usual I will continue to dine at the Family.

Had many nice meals here. The staff are very helpful. When the chef mixed up our order one night he made us a whole new dish from scratch. Really good.

The family resturant is at the other end of Tsilivi and not near the Admirals Hotel. It is a wonderful resturant and the food is great. The staff are lovely, Peter is the best.

Family is a great resturant great food does not take long to come friendly staff aswell

from the batchelor family

Wonderful food ,they do a dish that is a chicken fillet with a layer of feta cheese served with greek potatoes its the best,the waitresses and waiters are very very happy and give a great service cant praise them enough, wish them all well .

is the FAMILY restaurant anywhere near the ADMIRALS HOTEL  anybody out there who knows

Stayed in Tsilivi for 2weeks and visited Family 6 nights! It was absolutely gorgeous! It had the best vegetarian menu by far and so much to choose from! I enjoyed the stuffed peppers, vegetrain spaghetti, lasagne and Briam. The staff were very friendly and even remembered us from 2 years ago! The garlic bread is to die for. You can order a litre of Rose wine for around 4euros but it is very strong! For 1 starter, 1 wine,  and 2 mains it would cost us no more then 22euros. sometimes as little as 18! Was very cheap but the food was delicious! Would recommend Family highly!

Hi All, We are comming back on 4th July 2008 and can't wait to see Peter, Pete, Nicos & Steven again.

WHAT MORE CAN I SAY...................LOVELY FOOD AND REALLY FRIENDLY PEOPLE!!!!  CAME LAST WEEK MAY2008 AND WE HAD DINNER EVERY NIGHT AT THIS RESTAURANT. CANT WAIT TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR...........HAVE ALREADY BOOKED THE HOLIDAY SO COUNTING OFF THE DAYS...........

Again a favourite of ours Food top class and waiters cant do enough for you ,they are always so happy ,well worth a visit or two.

just returned from a fab hol in tslivi yet agen (16/08/07-23/08/07) , been comin to zante for the last 6 yrs and have without fail made sure that me and my mum went bak to the family restraunt.... it is definately THE best in the town and meals always exceed our expectations with great value for money... just like to say a big HI to everyone at the restraunt and hopefully be comin bak yet agen next next year so see u then!!! yasou!!! love emma x x x

This is 'the' best resturant in Tsilivi bar none. The food is absolutely fantastic, the waiters are the best on the island......words fail me. I can't think of enough superlatives to describe this place. I could happily live there. It's one of the things we miss the most about coming home.

Just got back from Zante and this was another restaurants that was visited a few times. The staff were very polite and the food was tradtitional, value for money and there was a variety to choose from. We would recomend this to other people and will be returning xxx

We loved this place!! my boyfriend an I were in stitches at the boys trying to perfect their Irish!! slan leat agus go raibh maith agat was a little hard for them

We ate here our first night, food was lovely. Had country Lamb which is beautiful. The service is really good and service excellent. Really recommend this resaurant.

this was me fourth time bak to tsilivi, and come to know the guys at the family quite well now- just wana say a quik hia to peter, yannis and nikos- that has now left to go to uni. eaten here for meals for the past four years and not had one bad meal, you really get your money's worth!!. miss you all loads, but ill see you again next year!!- u really couldnt eat at a better restaurant- the best restauraunt in tsilivi!!

We ate here twice. The food, the waiter's and the atmosphere was excellent. And it was lovely to see Yannis who we met in kalimaki. We would definetly recommend to young and old as everyone here are treated with the same respect and a smile goes a long way.  Coming back next year and this will definatly be our first resturant we visit.

Ate here several times during our stay in Tsilivi last month. Lovely staff, nothing too much trouble.  Peter bares a strange resemblence to Jim Carrey! We'll definitely return.

Brilliant service & food, best Pastitio & Stifado we'd had on the island!! Only wish we found you sooner...ate there our last 2 nights. Had great laugh with staff....Peter even taught us a few words of Greek! Such a friendly place. Will definately be back next year. Thankyou to all of you! :-)

Hi Peter& Yiannis, you guys are so funny! The food here is great we ate here twice in one week we had 2 favourite Tavernas. The only downside was me not being able to get Pork in Lemon (you have 11 months to get it for me) Peter you better start chasing the pig now. I had Lamb in the Oven it was lovely my partner had Souvlaki and our daughter had meatballs and chips. We got free drinks there such a friendly place and a bit of banter going on between Peter & Yiannis. We cannot wait to go back there next year I miss Tsvili and the wonderful food and people already! Heather misses you too. Carolina Michael & Heather.

We agree with everyone else this was the best restaurant we went to on our holiday to Tsilivi, the customer service was excellent and the waiters were friendly and funny the kids loved them and they always made us welcome. I had the streak diane and it was cooked exactly the way I like it, not cold as someone else mentioned. Overall the food was excellent and great value for money. I would definitely recommend going to this restaurant. We liked it so much we went back the day before we left.

great place to eat the waiters were brill shame we didnt find out until the night before we were due to leave or we would certainly have eaten here more often.

The family resturant has to be one of the best places we ate in over the holiday. The food is superb, service is exellent and the waiters could make a career for themselves in cabaret. They had us in stitches the whole time. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening.

Thanks guys, definately see you next year 

me and my boyfriend were really looking forward to our meal at family after reading reviews and hearing of the great ratings. However, we were extremely dissapointed to be served the steak diane which was cold with piping hot chips,it was almost like the steak had been cooked and left then the chips were added at the last minute. After mentioning the problem to the waiter who was very polite, he took the plate away and was gone 10 minutes while waiting for my steak to be warmed up!!!!!  during this time, my boyfriend was expected to eat his meal alone, the waiter did come back and said the cook had left the steak fro 3minutes! Therefore obviously much longer.  After this i was put off by the quality so we left and chose somewhere else!  However, Family is cheap, but who wants a cold plate of food!!!

The family restaurant intsilivi is the best place to eat. The waiters are great and very funny, freindly too.

Food is excellen, try the country lamb. Mmmmm.

Family was a great restuarant, loved it!! Just wondering if anyone managed to get any pictures of the waiters!!!

HI GUYS

This was our favourite restaurant and the only one we went to twice.

this restaurant is very friendly and family orientated ,waiters great especialy with kids and prices were resonable too, food lovely would highly recommend here

Service was fantastic, really welcoming and the food was gorgeous.

Just got back from Tsilivi. Had two excellent meals here but most importantly the waiters were brilliant with our two boys and really amused them. Also really good value.

Just got home from Tsilivi and yet again enjoyed every meal we had at Family. Good to see the other Peter back home from America.They always entertain us, while serving the food and grand daughter Ellen loves to go there See you all in September. Jenny and Bob and of course Ellen

 aaahhhh forgot to tick the comment boxes and put this restaurant as avarage!!! IT CERTANLY ISNT AVERAGE ITS THE BEST!!! XXX

we came to this restaurant to track down yiannis, a waiter we have known for three years who used to work at the parthanon in kalamaki,and was extra pleased to see him and meet peter who is just so funny we love him! the food we had at the family restaurant was superb,and service second to none! but having the gorgeous yiannis serving you is the best part  hes fantastic with kids and our little girl leah just adores him,as we all do.will be back to see yiannis and peter in september cant wait.xxx

Hi peter and martha loved it there last year.we are coming back this year Liam and keely are looking forward to seeing you again.see u soon xxx

KIM, it is round the corner from paradise bar and you have to walk you a few steps into the restaurant. you probably havnt seen it as they dont try and pull you in everytime you walk past like most places. thats one of the reasons we first went there. it great you really should try it!!!, lisa

we have been going to tsilivi for 10yrs and always always eat at family resturant. The staff are always helpfull, especially PETER, young Taz, all of them really make you feel at home. Peter, Freddie says hi and we,ll see you in may xx 

 what can i say this site says it all the food was brill and the service was good

 What another terrific holiday, we ate here most nights and Martha, Peter, Tas and Jeans Boy were all great with us and the children, very nice to see all of them again. An absolute must visit for everyone who goes to Tsilivi, excellent menu, great food at a good price and friendly staff. Hope to see you all next year Karen, Martin, Michelle, Nathan and Lauren x x

amazing restaurant great staff so friendly they made our holiday and always do!! can't wait to come back next year! go martha!! haha! hope to speak to u all soon.x

We turned up to Family at quarter to 11 and despite it being very late and the last people to eat in there, the waiters showed no impression of wanting to get rid of us/ rushing us or anuthing of the sort.  Quite the contrary, they were the friendliest we encountered and we had a really good time chatting and joking with them (watch out for the mobile disco in the form of a Fiat Sciento! ) 

nice food, nice everything

we loved it here and ate a few times during our stay. the staff were so friendly, asking how our holiday was going, how our day was and teaching us greek. the food was great and good value for money. it was also great not to be dragged into the restraunt like loads do in greece.

This place is brilliant. Caters for everyone - you will not be disappointed. We ate here 3 times - I had fish all 3 times - the calamari, the swordfish and the prawn souvlaki were all really good. What makes it though is the service - you really are like one of the family! Amazingly cheap too - if you are in Tsilivi you must go to eat here you will love it.

Thsi restaurant was great! Especially the service-the waiters were really friendly and quick with the food, drinks and empty plates. A must for anyone visiting tsilivi!

hiya, the family resturant is great, once again we had a great time. the food is awesome. the waiters are great especially when you play tricks on them we had a great laugh. we missed yannis and tas but it was great to meet nick and and martha. we were so pleased to see yannis on our last night.

Went to Family a couple of times during our stay. All the staff were extremely friendly and were excellent with our 3 year old. Their steaks are especially good. One night we went there with another couple we met and we all ordered steak. They were all cooked exactly as we ordered. The fillet steak with garlic and mustard sauce is very tasty. Highly recommended restaurant.       

Great Value for money and the food and Staff were excellent.  Can't fault it

We love the Family. Staff are so friendly and food is great.
