This is a new cafe for Serifos, and it was great. We ordered the savoury pancakes, and scrambled eggs and both portions were perfect size, and yummy. We sat out in the beach area, where you can watch the boats in the bay. Coffee was the best we had in Serifos, and it was also great value.
Great spot with lovely beach view, cocktails are delicious and service is superb
Came back again for another lunch as the last one was so good. This time we split a chicken club sandwich and a bottle of the house wine. It was the best club I've had. The bacon here is delicious, the chicken too and plentiful. They cut the chips is such a way that they become really crispy. The whole thing was so big that we couldn't finish it, it cost around €10. The wine was delicious, served in an ice bucket with nice wine glasses, €15. The manager/owner is a lovely man and his staff are all friendly too. The review below still stands. Lovely little restaurant serving a nice selection of interesting dishes: eggs Benedict, ceasar salad with bacon and chicken, a big breakfast menu and lots more. The bottle of wine is €15, and they serve a delicious Greek cider. The sunbeds are free if you eat here. We had the tacos, €8 for 3 large ones, and a caesar salad €10,.all delicious. They give you ample dressing on the salad so if you don't like lots just ask them for less. Everyone was very friendly. We're going back for lunch tomorrow.
The best place on the island for coffee and the guys that work here are great. Super friendly. Mrs Rose coffee and more coffee inside freddo espresso than most places. I went here every morning. They have an amazing chocolate brownie. Make great sandwiches (the vegetarian on focaccia bread and the koulouri with cream cheese tomatoes ham being standout). Highly recommend. The lads are super friendly that work here.
Laid back, beach bar . Nicely few steps away from the port crowded action, it offers a limited but still enjoyable menu and very nice service. Sophisticated music playlist in the background. Sunbeds are also offered. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy few hours on the beach before taking your ferry!
A cozy and friendly place on the sandy beach with a view over the little harbor. The selection of drinks and light food from breakfast on is perfect for hot days spent lazily by the sea. Very friendly staff. Minimum spending is 10 Euro if you wish to use a sunbed with a parasol. We spent a whole day here and enjoyed it.
Without a doubt, this place offers one of the most delightful brunch experiences and undoubtedly serves some of the best coffees on the entire island. The staff deserves special praise for their outstanding friendliness and warm hospitality.
I had the weirdest burger I've ever eaten here, and I mean that in a good way. Lazy Monkey has an Anthony Bourdain Burger which has several ingredients I personally can't stand by themselves but which just seemed to... work, in this burger. It was one of the top 10 burgers I've ever had. The ground beef here is also seasoned quite well as opposed to back in the states, where we might throw some salt and pepper on the patty after grilling/frying it. Fries were basically quartered potatoes with little to no seasoning (Greeks seem to prefer to serve fries with no seasoning) but were cooked well otherwise. Also, went for a Margherita pizza, which had Arugula on it. Not too bad, fairly tasty. Overall, nice place to eat aside from the smokers.
