Double

Just got home yesterday and had to get this comment on to warn you all asap!!!  Peters family restaurant or Double as it was called when we were there is a definite no no do not go to this place!!!  The food is so bad it is unratable and as for Peter himself well you will find out for yourself if you are going to Argassi he is unavoidable and extremely rude!!!

i have to say everytime ive been in argassi ive avoided this place but this yera i thought am gonna go in that way he will leave us alone the rest of our holiday, and i have to say his food is fab we went back 3 times in a week and he does leave u alone after u have been in. 

after reading coment on this website, about this place, we avoided it like the plague, he was still up to his old tricks of trying to herd peple in from the street, the opposite side of the street, and even stopped someone passing on a quad bike. just a word of caution for anyone going to argassi for the first time, he is straight facing the front doors of the dianna palace hotel,and he is now called DOUBLE we returned home on 16/5/07

I hated it...he was always trying to force you to come in...one day my mum and dad went in, i think it was like a few years ago and my mum was ill all through the holiday so i wouldnt recomend it !

 Unbelievably bad restaurant. We were manhandled into the restaurant from across the road .At fisrst we thought he was quite a character & amusing , but after a few day he got very rude- so we went in just to keep him quiet. The food was very average , we were promised a dicount & free ice cream -  CHECK YOUR BILLS CAREFULLY !! 

From what Peter was saying at the end of last season,the restaurant will be moving location this year.It will be to the space next door where the Indian Restaurant used to be.

My partner and I will be in Argassi for our first visit to Zante in May this year( can't wait very excited already!!)

We will be making up our own minds on Peters restuarant and would urge other people to do the same - you dont know if you dont try!!!

And if your like me and read reviews on everything before trying u'll know that you always get mixed reviews no matter what your looking into.

Purely down to choice and I know all the places out there have to try to get the punters in, peter can get a little to trying!! and we have been visiting for quite a few years and the guy just trys too hard and puts you off visiting

Jon I am sure that if my posts were not to the liking of the owners of this site I am sure that they would have been removed by now.As it is they haven't.

There is a message board for conversations , not just keep rating a restuarant which has some very bad reviews may be nice but going by the reviews and seeing how little customers they get it isnt though, but we have never eaten here due to the annoying little twerp outside 

Hi Karen ...yes we are fine thanks.

PETER'S FAMILY RESTAURANT IS THE BEST!!!!

 HERE ARE SOME OF THE BOYS THAT WORK AT 24/7 AND PETERS (NASOS, AHRI AND LEONARDO) XXXX

HERE ARE SOME MORE PICTURES BUT THESE WERE TAKEN WHEN WE WENT BACK IN OCTOBER. XXXX    

THESE ARE SOME OF THE PICTURES THAT WERE TAKEN WHEN WE WERE FIRST THERE IN AUGUST. WE MISS YOU ALL AND WILL SEE YOU SOON.LOVE KAREN AND KATT XXXX   

I agree with you Karen.

I shall be returning next year as usual

The season will be starting in May so if you're in Zante why not instead of just reading the comments below go & eat at Peters restaurant & form your own opinion ? The food is delicious & the staff are excellent & work very hard to help to make your visit enjoyable so you'll return. I've read the comments about the staff  being rude & ignoring customers but from what i've seen of some of the customers they have to deal with i'm not suprised !!! Just because they wait tables it doesnt mean you're better than them !!! They are all very nice & if you take the time to eat at Peters you'll soon realise it. Me & Katrina will see you all soon.Yassou to Peter,Tom & Nassos & T'u ngjat jeta to Ahri & Leonardo xxx     (hopefully when we're in Zante Altin will be there ) x

I did'nt go to Peters. The man harrassed me and my girlfriend from our first day, as soon as we walked out of our hotel he was in our faces. very very pushy and just wont take "NO"  for an answer. He pushed so much we didnt go out of principle, and spent our 2 weeks sculking around trying to avoid him.

Having spoken to many people about this little man it seems he's the same with everyone. And I think we had a narrow escape, the food hasnt got the best of  ratings at all.

If you want to eat quality food in excellent company i would strongly recomend Athena.

food off and differs to menu as our food was served on a so called bed of rice to which could not understand why as we did not have curry etc, they also own 24-7 snack bar across road and that the same just no good at all. the guy who stands outside peters is such a pain and we had it all time as our hotel was across road.

not worth a visit here unless you want to visit the toilet all night too.

To cut a long story short-went there on first night after what I'd mistaken for friendliness from the notorious Peter-wish I hadn't bothered,food was definately not fresh and ice-cream had been re-frozen about 10 times. He whistled in the street to get our attention after we tried to avoid him for the remainder of hols and he resorted to asking us why we hadn't been again to his place(wish I'd have told him his food was terrible) and then why had we gone twice to Castaways and  then BEGGED us to come into his restaurant....I politely declined...On last night after eating elsewhere there was NO friendly "hello" or "how are you" as there were on all previous nights but he gruffly barked at my 6 year old daughter and myself asking us had we eaten,when were we going home and when I told him we were going the following morning he moved out of the way,blanked us and let us walk on.

Excellent food and service...as usual.I have eaten at ALL the other restaurants in Argassi and I find Peter's to be the best.

Just to re iterate the comments made about how irritating and annoying Peter was, we managed to escape his clutches and stay away from his restaurant but it wasnt easy all the time - we found a short cut through to the main street which took us through the grounds of the Katerina Palace hotel - how I wish we had found it earlier on in the fortnight!

more satisfied customers of peters lol

ok we were there for two weeks"!!! dispise the anoyance we had and the feed back from everyone we asked we thought ok lets give it a try!

Poor food and Peter is a very anoying little man so much so that you time your walk down the hill to avoid him.

At the end of the day Peter is just trying to earn a living even though he's quite annoying although you did sometimes dread walking past his restaurant as he said you were "HIS CUSTOMERS". I had a pretty good T Bone steak but my girlfriend was sick in the night after her lasagne.

I meant this!!

As we walked past the restuarant Peter proceeded to pull my Fiance in the door quite forcefully and they grabbed my arm and tried the same. We said we had already eaten and he told us we were lying and that his food was the best. Then as we walked back down the road (on the other side!!) he yelled abuse at us across the road. Nice!

hmmmmmmm comments are a bit harsh its so easy 2 jump on the bandwagon

The reviews were so bad we just had to try Peter's.  I had a good meal and my wife had the best spaghetti bolognese of those she had in Argassi.  Service was fine.  No complaints at all.  We had passed the restaurant many times and I found a polite reply to Peter was enough to get him to leave us alone.  I saw a number of  people being rude to him and not unnaturaly he gave as good as he got.
Don't follow the herd like a sheep, make up your own mind.

HOW DID THIS RESTAURANT GET A RATING OF ONE.... IT IS A DISGRACE TO ARGASSI, AND PETER IS AN ANYOING LITTLE ... MALAXAS (ASS HOLE)... ANYONE VISITING ARGASSI FOR THE FIRST TIME PLEASE PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE, FOOD IS NOT FRESH AND THE KITCHENS ARE DIRTY, ... GO TO PAPPILON OR POSIDEN... AWESOME FOOD

  do not visit this restarant. he is a nasty little man who will hassle you every time you walk by his restarant. and if his food is that good why does he allways  stand in the street trying to get people to come to his restarant peter is around 3 ft in hight and has a very big mouth and tells everybody he is maffia  lol

Hello again. It went long time since my last visit in Argasi, but just for the record i havent forget you and hope to see you all again next summer. Keep on the good work no matter what som sick people say....

  Greeting from Sweden

 the food was terrible we got offered free wine and bread we got charged 4 it we only went in cuz we got begged to go in everynight and if we sed no then he use to say he hated us.the food was very poor and over priced.its also called tiffanys nt just peters.trust me he will really do your heads in while u r over there hes a rude old man.he will try n make u feel guilty 4 nt goin in but trust me keep away stick with snack academy

Like many others, I never ate there because of the attitude of the man at the door. We stayed at the Diana Palace Hotel opposite his restaurant. On our first night he ran across the road to corner a couple into going in. Some nights we went out of other exit from the hotel just to avoid the man. His tactics are counter-productive and put us all off from ever eating there.

We didnt actually eat here, as the badgering you got as you walked down the street was so annoying it just put you off going in there.

Peter is one scary man and the restaurant wasn't much better.we went in one night becasue we felt sorry for him as you couldn't walk past without him trying to make you go in. We went in and my friend was getting felt up by one of the waiters, where we were sat felt like we were in a kitchen. Peter said we could have free bread, free fresh fruit salad, and free wine, do not fall for it. We sat down they brought bread and it was stale, we had to ask for the wine and it was just fizzy water, and then after our meal we asked for the free fresh fruit salad peter we could have and it was a plate of watermelon. The bill came and they had charged us for all the things they said were free so we complained and eventually got it taken off the bill and never went back again! The food wasn't that bad though  xxxx

Although we did not eat at Pete's restaurant, I still feel obliged to say a few words.

We ate at Peters restaurant for most of our holiday & thorougly enjoyed it.The food is delicious & reasonably priced.The staff are very friendly & the service is excellent.Peter is a bit annoying but there is a perk to eating there-an Albanian waiter called Leonardo !!! (hes very cute & a bit of a charmer) 

 super mario or what? do not give peter the satisfactsion of going in.

me and my friend went 2 argassi for 2 weeks we stayed in the commodor hotel which was a nice hotel met some friendly people until we had to keep walking past peters we went in there on our first night food was alright. we went along the main road and on our way back up that road peter started telling us to come into his resturant when we had already eaten there. also at peters there was another bloke who worked there and everytime we walked past he would not leave us alone so on our last night we went to resturant just before you get to peters then went to the beer academy. just tell peter to do one.

The food was actually ok but i would not recommend the meatballs. Peter is annoying and doesn't like to take no for an answer so you do end up trying to avoid him if at all possible. Also, one of his staff that runs the little cruise next door is almost equally as irritating.

Well, just like many of the others who have left a msg about Peter's Restaurant, I can only say how annoying this "Slimmy Little Critter" is.  In fact the Mossi's didn't bother me half as much as this man did.  In fact after the 3rd time i said maybe to eating in his restaurant, (we were there for 2wks) He got very nasty and starting shouting at my family and this was all in front of my 3yr old son.  He is very pushy, and nasty if you say No.  

not sure what everyone is on about here. either someone has had a word with him or poeple are easily led. we ate there once and found it average nothing more. we were there for two weeks and were at the diana palace so more often than not would have to pass by and yes peter was out the front but i did not find him any more pushy than anyone else who was standing on a door. in fact the guy with the a**enal shirt outside the factory was worse than the old man.  

The most irratable person ive ever met, he constantly bugged me and my mates to come in and eat his food, when we said no he'd act like a spoiled child so glad i didnt eat there!!! oh if you walk past him and he asks you to come in say you have already eaten at Castaways!!! that really gets on his nerves!!! but very funny!

oh my god..what a s**t restaurant,s**t food,s**t service and very expensive.how annoying is that little man. he wouldn't stop shouting for 2 hours whilst we were in there. shut  your mouth for god sake.the food was really disgusting... uurrrgggghhh..yuk .. never again in there noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I never got the chance to say goodbye too you Leonardo Soo goodbye

only ate there once but that was enough,what an annoying little man hes very rude to,anyone going to argassi should avoid peters restaurant

After walking past this restaurant several times and thinking that the little man on the front was amusing, we eventually went in for a meal. The waiters were very helpfull getting us into the restaurant as we had two prams, but after we had our meal they just just dont bother with you.  We thought the menu selection was great but when the food arrived you could tell it had been cooked earlier and then reheated in the microwave.  I had chicken slovaki and my partner had a pizza.  In all my years of travelling to Greece i have never had a Slovaki as bad as this one.  My other half said he had tasted better Pizzas from the supermarket.

I agree we everyone else...the most annoying man on holiday and the only bad part of my whole time there!...We would also walk round the back of our hotel just to avoid him and we wernt the only ones there who did! ...If you go Argassi....good luck with pete....lol

  Hello there Petter, the famous dorman of Argassi.How is every one doing?I have readed some bad messages about you, but tell you what: Do not even give a sh*tto what they say cose as  someeone wrote. What cuolde have been Argassi with out YOU. But as I  see they dont addmit that and propebly the hard work at all...

  See you all soon. Al

At first we thought Peter was a friendly old man who just wanted us to eat in his restaurant. Later it turned out that he was a psycho maniac literally dragging people into the place, forcing them to sit down at a table and giving them the menu so quickly that there was no time to get out. We tried it out once, but the food was not impressing at all, and the service was below average. The day after, we had a meal at the Premier restaurant, and walked by Peter later. He was then desperately trying to give us bad concience for not going to his place. Well, Peter, you need to learn a little something about running a restaurant.

Oh my god

It isn`t that bad! I love my food and am weary about trying dodgy places. The food was not bad the free glass of wine was the best bit!

We have just got back from Argassi and in our first week we ate at Peters twice, we went back there the second time because the food is nice there. The thing that puts everyone off going there is that he tries to get you to eat at his resturant every night. This is fraustrating because you want to try out different places and he doesnt seem to understand that. To anyone thinking of going there i would say try it out the food is good and well priced but after that avoid him as i had to get quite angry with him towards the end of the 2 weeks when he wouldnt except no for an answer. I understand he is making a living  but if he hadnt been so persistant and annoying we probably would have gone back.

when we first arrived in argassi in october 02 the first place we came upon was at the time tiffanys which is now know as peters.we were ushed in to the place by peter himself who would not take no for a answer.peter then plonked us down at a table and went of  for a menu.in which time we had decided this was not the place that we wanted to be we wanted to have a look around argassi before we decided where we could eat. so when peter came back we explained to him what we wanted to do and got up and left.we did tell peter that very likely we would be back.as we left peter followed us down the steps stood in the middle of the road stopped a pasdsing taxi dragged the passengers out of that car and dragged them in to the restaurant they didnot seem to have a choice in the matter peter and the taxi driver had an arguement  the driver then left the passengers there.from then on we decided not to enertain peters place.as the days went on into our holiday each time we passed peters he would shout at us to come in .it even got to the point he would offer us discount,we ageed one evening and said we would go the next,but after having a day out as we walked up the hill from the beach all you could see was a luminous sign offering everyone discount.we had to laugh because he did say it was just for us,and we still never went in .by the end of that holiday peter got quite nasty ina funny sort of way.we have heard a lot of dreadfull things about peters since as we have been back each year since,but now peter just ignores us and that is the way we like ie,as for dennis his son who runs 24/7 he can be just as bad he can even tell you how long you have been in argassi.

i ate here about 3 times of my stay in argassi, the food was ok but it wasnt as horrible as some people say on here.
where would argassi be without peter

Well I ate at Peter's restaurant every night of my stay in Argassi..as I usually do! Funnily enough I didn't feel ill after eating there..as I have NEVER done!

Well what can i say about peter? Every time you walked past his resturant he begged you to come in.

We ate here twice during our 2 week stay and found it really nice, the service was always with a smile and very prompt.

i must say i think some of the comments on here are exagerated i  have never eaten in here in all my times in argassi peter is a pain in the ass but harmless  i dont see the point in trying to put people off eating in his restaurant i think its very unfair let him earn a living like the rest of us

Well if Peters Family Restaurant is so bad then how come I have never had a bad meal there?

i have eaten here twice and i have been going to argassi for 3 years, i have been back from argassi less than 24 hours, and heres something to say about peters.

ps if hes doing this what will his son be doing who runs the 24/7 snack bar

Excellent!! The food is very good, freshley prepared and most of it is home made none of the frozen stuff you get in most of the other restaurants. The service is excellent, not too qick or too slow, the staff are very friendly and are great with kids. Their is a good choice of food on the menu, English, Greek and Italian. The guy who is trying to get you in means no harm and if you say no he just leaves you alone. He gives the restaurant caracter and all of the staff make you a part of the restaurant.. I reccomend it as a place to try.

Excellent!!!! The food is brilliant, the service is great not too slow but not too quick either. The staff are friendly and make you a part of the restaurant. The food is freshley prepared and we highly recommend the restaurant.. The guy who tries to get you to go in their means no harm and if you say no he just leaves you alone. We eat in their most nights and never had a problem. It is a restaurant that i reccomend everyone gives a try

lol it was a hoot!!!

We succumbed to the persistent pestering and had lunch there. To be fair, the home made burger my youngest had was quite nice, but the rest was poor and we had salad! We were also unfortunate enough to witness 4 Italians who spoke neither english or greek be ejected from the restaurant as the waiter lost patience with the Italians asking for things off the menu which it turned out were only available in the evenings. Also tended to be more expensive than many of the competitors

Well we did actually eat there and i really didnt like it at all. The food came out so fast, mcdonalds would have been proud. They just seemed to be in a rush to get ya out and nobody could cook food that quick. Ten minutes after we left we walked by the restaurant again and he was pestering us to come in again.The guy is unbelieveable and by the end of our holiday he started getting overbearing. I eat the food the food because id eat anything but the others in my group didnt. Not good

Peter is a character, pure madman and was fantastic free entertainment as we dodged past him every night!!  like other peopleon this site say, he WAS persistent, but so were MANY of the other proprietors in Argassi - when your livlihood depends on it i guess you have to be competitive.if you don't like that sort of thing (like i don't!) either chill and get used to it or go somewhere else on hols.    we never ate at his place but never found him to be rude or aggressive, just nuts really! mind you, we ate with his son at the 24-7 every day so that was our get-out clause!  we plan to go back next year though hopefully so will give his place a try and make up our own minds.

well the people putting comments on here who have never bothered eating in this restaurant should not bother putting up a comment its very unfair to judge a place you aint tried  peter is his own worst enemy he is the reason nobody puts up good comments not his food i aint never eaten hewre so i cant judge it but peter is hillarious argassi would be quiet without him
