I have just come back from Lourdas with my sister Trudie and we ate in the Klimatis every day - sometimes even twice. The food is varied and delicious and the service is friendly; Marina makes you feel very welcome and all the other staff go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your meal. There is a bar attached to Klimatis and the barman Stellios makes the dreamiest cocktails with flair and pride. The Klimatis is very popular with the locals as well as tourists and is always busy- however, it is not a noisy place and there are ceiling fans which cool you down whilst you face the sea. GO THERE! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!
The Klimatis is a beautiful restaurant with great service and excellent food, the setting is lovely sitting right opposite the beach. I have been coming to Lourdas for a few years now and the Klimatis was always my first choice and normally would get a 10 out of 10 the pork souvlaki with yoghurt is a fave. However the last time we went in May this year the ladies toilet didnt have a seat, which my partner said was not acceptable for a place of this quality, so must try harder.
We spend three weeks in Lourdas every autumn. Taverna standards are generally high in Kefalonia, and there are some great places to eat in the Lourdas area. However we tend to eat at Klimatis nearly all the time because it's just SO good! Marina is one of our favourite people; she's always lovely with the customers and has a real sense of humour (she needs it with my husband constantly teasing her!) The staff are all great, and the ambience is unrivalled with the beach just a few feet away, grapevines overhead and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. This is just my favourite place in the world to eat. Love you Marina, see you soon! xxx
Having read extremely good comments about Klimatis, we visited on 18 September 2010 and were extremely disappointed. All in all, we ate out at 6 different restaurants in Lourdas and this was the most expensive.
For a truly fabulous meal in Lourdas, visit ENASTRON - and it's not even on in the restaurant list!
i went on my first holiday abroad to lourdas from the 22nd june to the 6th july with my mum, we ate in klimatis almost every night we were there, marina is a sweetheart who is very welcoming and yanis is lovely too we were always greeted by the waiter leon who was also very friendly and funny, the atmosphere was so calming and tranquil the setting is beautifull, the food was amazing and prices were good, marina had a beautifull cake made for my mum as she was celebrating her birthday it was half strawberry and half chocolate (she has done this for my mum many years now and did it for her and her friend jane 2 years ago orange and choc cake) with sparklers in it!!! i will definatley be going there again xxx
Klimatis Taverna is located on the beach but worth the trek... so friendly and a lovey setting looking right out on to the ocean. Alfresco dining under a roof of vines and a bounty of hanging grapes.
Fabulous food (Try the Kefalonian Meat Pie - a family recipe and its delicious!) and brilliant service from all. Leonidas was superb and we had our reception meal here for 60 people before our wedding, cannot fault them. Marina is adorable and hats off to the food!
We ate here a couple of times and enjoyed it very much. It has a beautful setting probably the nice I have been in - with the tables set underneath grape vines right in front of the beach. the staff are very friendly. i had the roasted feta cheese and vine leaves which are startes for my main meal one night - very tasty and very filling. I cant remember what my family had - but they all enjoyed their meals both times we went! definatley recomend it here.
Klimatis has a great location - right on the beach.

Probably the best greek salad in lourdas we had several here at lunchtime,its so close to the beach, one problem is the waiters are a little surly.one couple walked out as they commented " you are not pleasant people". a bit drastic maybe,we were content ,hot weather,nice wine good salad.
i only had a quick snack in here one lunch time while having a break from the beach the food and couple of beers went down a treat!
We ate here a couple of times and the food and service were both excellent. They had a good choice of traditional Greek meals and the location is lovely.
Klimatis is the best!! A great welcome from Marina and her staff, excellent food and a wonderful setting. What more could anyone ask for? See you next year guys!!
Only ate here at lunch time but once we found this it was definately the best place to eat on the sea front. Staff pleasant and food always good. Busy with both tourists and locals.
We ate here a couple of times during the holiday. On both occasions the food was excellent and the service was good. Location of the restaurant is excellent. We had two thoroughly enjoyable evenings.
Good fresh traditional Greek food with fresh fish and pleasant service. Food very fresh and was full of locals when we were there.
Have to say, the food here was excellent. I didn't find the staff to be the friendliest bunch going but, maybe August in a 42 degree heartwave isn't the best time to expect service with a smile. The place was rammed out every night, which is always a good sign.
We ate here twice one lunch and one evening. The food was excellent! Kleftico and Kokkinista to die for. Staff were all very friendly and the setting on the beach is nice.
Third year running with a visit to Klimatis. Yana remembered us (always a nice touch) and gave us a hug the day we left. The food was as good as ever and the service excellent.
I just got back from 2 weeks in Lourdas and this is the best restaurant I visited. The location on the beach is fantastic. The menu is varied and not too expensive. The best thing about Klimatis though, was the staff. Yana and Leonides in particular are very helpful. Klimatis also has one of the best bars in Lourdas (the other being Bar 7). Alex, the barman from Czech Republic, and Bella, the local waitress, both made this a memorable holiday. Yannis the owner was also great company and very generous with his drinks. Cheers folks. 10 out of 10. PS (If you drink the local wine, the Tsausi is far superior to the local Robola, and is about 5 euros for a litre).
Ate here on a couple of occasions. Nice position on the beach. The food was quite nice, nothing out of the ordinary. Beautiful flowers around the restaurant.
The food, service and price are of the usual high standard. We tried 3 other tavernas on the island and none of them beat this place! Thanks to all the guy's and a special thanks for the candle cover. See you next year same time. Missing the VAT
