DESCRIPTION
The "Alektor" restaurant, with its traditional cuisine of Zakynthos, is a piece of history, as one of the few buildings survived to the earthquake that in 1953 destroyed the entire city.
We suggest a lunch or a dinner at Alektor as the menu offers an overview of all those dishes that here in Zakynthos represent the true tradition, prepared with the fresh ingredients and with creativeness.
You can start your meal with grilled haloumi cheese or feta cheese wrapped in phyllo dough, fried and served with sesame and honey.
In this restaurant you can eat excellent meat dishes and also fresh fish.
We invite you to try the Kotsi (pork shank cooked in the oven for 4 hours with beer, mustard and rosemary), the rooster (Kokoras) stew in a wine sauce and served with pasta and potatoes, or to taste the traditional "lamb kleftiko "lamb baked in tinfoil with potatoes, feta, peppers and rosemary.
If you prefer to dine with fresh fish, we serve any kind of fish but you have to order it a couple of days before.
You will always find the "pichilìa psari", a unique dish of seafood with sardines, mussels, fish, squid, shrimp, sea bass and bream.
A lunch or dinner at Alektor restaurant, give you also the opportunity to have a walk around the city of Zakynthos to see its shops, churches, museums and the promenade.

Noi abbiamo mangiato malissimo, e pure presi in giro, pagato 90€ per niente.
This place is terrible, please never eat here. I would honestly eat my right arm before ever eating here again. My food was burned and tasted like ash, i have some anxiety but my friend said it looked and tasted so bad so i worked up the guts to humbly informe the workers there. They actually told me NO it is not burned even tho the bread was black. And said i would not get a new one or my money back (l0l) so i payed for food i was not able to eat because it litterally tasted like a house that burned down. My friend also order vanilla ice cream but got chocolate, the workers were so rude to me so she didnt say anything. Please eat at another place in Zante, please give them ugly stares and please if you are drunk-pee outside their resturant.
Vriendelijke mensen eten is goed, maar vraag vantevoren hoe duur een gerecht is want je betaald de hoofdprijs. Hebben ons bijna 80 euro aangerekend voor chateau briant. Terwijl ik de rekening aan het nakijken was,werd deze snel uit mijn handen gegrist en vernietigd. Oplichters praktijken
Ordered traditional Greek rabbit and chicken. The chicken was terribly dry and with bones. Rabbit filed with guts and entrails. I ordered the wines, brought a white draft tangled into the bottle, which is 2 euros in the market. As it turned out for 13 in the check. While they were cooking, they brought bread and putty, and after the meal they had dessert, which is served in each tavern for free. But they added it to the bill. I waited about 15 minutes, everyone counted, they argued with the staff and the disgruntled left. Worse than a restaurant in Zakynthos, I have not met.
The WORST place to eat in Zante! They brought us the salad 45mins later and after our reguest!! 1:30 later we had to leave because they never brought us food... Bad service, bad communication...
