Despite being busy everytime we passed, we found the prices to be cheap, however the quality was too, with our meals consisting of greasy, over dressed salads, possibly the worst carbonara we've ever tasted and over-cooked calamari. The waitress seemed to favour and lavish attention on those who were either regulars or her friends, whilst we were left waiting almost an hour for our relatively simple dishes. Overall, a cheap option, but one that lacks ambience, good service with changeable food quality.

Spiros is a warm welcoming family run restaurant, with a range of traditional Greek and English food. there are also a selection of childrens meals on the menu. His enthusiasm to try and teach you some Greek sayings and greetings adds to the welcoming and relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. Nothing is too much trouble and the meals are excellent, my recommendations would be the Prawn Saganaki and the Chocolate and Galliano pancakes. We have been visiting Spiros for over 10 years now, sometimes twice in the year and wouldn't eat anywhere else. Thanks to Anna, George, Spiros, Dimetria Anthea and Koola for looking after us and making our holidays special. Karen and Peter

Hi, does anyone have an address/telephone number for Spiros Taverna?

This is one of the best restaurants I've visited during my travels of the Greek Islands over the past 8 years and I cant praise it enough!!  I am very puzzled by the previous comments on this restaurant and this is why....

We ate there on 4 evenings it was so good and everyone we spoke to agreed! It is centrally located in Lourdes on the main road opposite the jewellery shop and has scenic views of the ocean.  It is tranquilly set outside for al fresco dining but under cover with an olive tree between the tables and under umbrellas in places. The staff are so friendly and you couldnt ask for better service, the lady and more mature gentleman serving (I think may be Spiros) were accomodating and described the dishes excellently.  They were friendly and attentive without being intrusive.  If you venture into the restaurant kitchen where the till is to pay your bill (which you are welcome to do if paying by card or are in a rush) you will see the family preparing the food for everyone to see and chatting away to each other - delightful.

They also do excellent pasta dishes, I fancied the bolognaise was evening and it was really lovely if you would like something a bit more simple and other grilled & UK foods for the less adventurous. Try to be brave though and indulge the Greek part of the menu, absolutely gorgeous.  Very generous but not over the top portions. The appetizers were also fabulous - try the mezze which is really unusual even though it had chips, look past that to the lovely variety of different things - a little bit of everything, lovely little cheese pies. If ordering seperate starter the calimari is to die for, a big plate of generous lightly battered tender squid.

The Greeks, as do many countries in the med, do favour olive oil.  You will see this in their dishes.  Try not to be frightened of it - scientists have proved this is part of the reason the Greeks are far healthier than us westerners.  Mix the olive oil on your plate with the light vinegar provided and dip your bread in it - much heathier than the butter we favour in the UK and its very tasty.  Whilst in Greece... do as the Greeks do... maybe you'll learn how they live longer than we do!  People mistake the food as greasy but its not to be honest, its simply the virgin olive oil they use in cooking which gives their potatos and food a sunny glow.  Its traditional and its healthier than our butter and our packaged food full of additives and bad fats, embrace the culture and remember you are not in the UK.

On top of this the restaurant was very busy every night and one of the most reasonable in Lourdes - only 4.20 Euros for a litre of white wine served in their traditional jug - lovely gentle wine to accompany any meal.

Look out for the black and white cat who is subtle and patiently mills about the tables for any generousity she can tempt from you - almost as cute as the little black kitten her accompanies her and who is adorable and loves to be cuddled if you let her know you like cats and show her some attention.  Bless.

Spiros and his team are extremely helpful. Food always top class. Always very busy so be prepared to wait but worth the wait! Have returned to Lourdas 3 times now and have never been disappointed

i had read some really good reviews about this place but was sadly very disapointed,i have been going to greece for the last 10 years and i think this was the worst meal i have ever had in all that time!i had mussels to start which to be fair were not to bad which i followed with the kleftico which my partner also had, i could not finish it because it was that bad also the potatoes which it was served with were under cooked.having said that the service was helpfull and friendly.i didnt risk giving it another go!

Had a very nice lunch here - his omlettes are very nice. Setting is beautiful.The picture is a view from the front of the premesis towards the bay. Ate one evening also, the Kefalonian meat pie was very good and prices very reasonable. Once again service is typical greek - at your pace and not rushed. Highly recommended.

We tried lots of other restuarants but kept coming back as this was set next to the olive trees on the edge of the village with exactly the feeling of Greece that we wanted. Friendly personal service and great classic food (particularly grilled).  The grilled fish was amazing. Great value too.

Spiros was the first restaurant we tried during our holiday and we ate there another three times.  Always very busy and the staff extremely friendly.  Food was lovely and the prices very reasonable.

Spiros was a great host, makes you feel very welcome and we visited here three times. The bread that arrives on the table with your drinks was the nicest we had, lightly chargrilled with a hint of garlic - yum! His cheese pies are the best (light and crispy filo pastry - delicious), oh and if you order calamari get it to share as the plate was piled high. Generally we cannot fault the food but I would avoid the vegetables as they were slightly over done, just ask for salad as a substitute! Very reasonable prices at approx €30 for 2 courses, wine and water.
