Makris Yialos Restaurant - Beach Bar

Nice restaurant practically at the beach it is a little overpriced, but i guess it's because of the view. The food is nice, the portions are quite big, but not too big, just enough! You can sit here in a bathing suit

This little sea side Taverna was one of our favorite places in our month in Kefalonia. In Lassi, on top of a small hill overlooking a beautiful beach, this is the place to hang out - swim in the beach and have lunch and a few cocktails. Great food, service and the bedt cocktails

Highly recommend to visit! Owner of the restaurant is a very friendly man, his family works among him in the restaurant. The food was lovely, the pasta is great, our order came swiftly, the view is insane. I advise an early dinner (19:30/20:00-22:00) for the best sunset view and dinner. Definitely coming back!

Beautiful bar with great views and great service! The barman asked what country we were from and told us 'cheers' in our language (Welsh) parents loved the beers that came in cold glasses, much appreciated in the sunshine and I loved my iced tea. Enjoyed the music too, we will be back! So close to the beach, just down a staircase (it's a bit steep so would warn anyone with limited mobility to be careful/ do a recky)

This is a nice little place just above the main beach in Lassi, with a lovely view of the sea and a welcome breeze – especially handy in the heat. It’s a casual spot, ideal for a light lunch. We visited twice – once during the lunchtime rush and once later in the day – and although the staff were friendly, the service wasn’t great either time. You do have to make the effort to get someone’s attention, which can get a bit frustrating. When the food came we did ask to order an additional bread and the waitress looked visibly annoyed, which wasn’t a great impression, but understand that they are probably a little overwhelmed. The food was good – I had some bits to pick at, while the rest of the family had a beef burger and a Greek salad. My sister couldn’t finish her burger, and they kindly offered a takeaway box so she could have the rest later, which was a nice touch. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the location. All in all, a good, accessible spot for a laid-back lunch with great views.

Sitting above the beautiful Makris Yialos beach, you can find classic delicious Greek food at reasonable prices. The service can be a little slow when it’s busy, but we enjoyed the view and didn’t mind. Also cats!

A Slice of Paradise and Authenticity: We finally made it to The Makris Yialos by George, and we're thrilled to say it was absolutely worth it! Despite an initial detour caused by a taxi driver who, apparently, has the inexplicable habit of taking customers to "Costa Costa," our perseverance was amply rewarded. George himself confirmed that unfortunately, we aren't the first to encounter this inconvenience, which further solidifies our satisfaction at finally finding the right place. Authentic Welcome and Atmosphere The atmosphere here is exactly what we were looking for: spartan, genuine, and with a warm, family-like welcome. You immediately sense the authenticity of the place, far from tourist traps. It's not about luxury here, but the feeling of being in a true piece of Greece, run with passion. The availability of an umbrella and two chairs was a delightful extra touch, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of the spot. Simple, Yet Exquisite Cuisine And then there's the food! The cuisine is decidedly homemade, a hymn to true flavors and simplicity. We finally got to try the much-desired grilled octopus, and it exceeded expectations: it was incredibly tender and wonderfully flavorful, a true delight for the palate. It's clear that here, the freshness of ingredients and a love for tradition come first. A Charming Place to Recommend All in all, The Makris Yialos by George is a charming place we highly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic experience, away from the hustle and bustle and pretensions. If you manage to overcome any taxi detours, you'll be rewarded with a peaceful corner, excellent food, and true Greek hospitality. We'll definitely be back!

Very tasty and well cooked food. The octopus was to die for! Love that is also so close to the beach, making it a convinient lunch spot. Will probably come a lot of times here
