Carnayo Restaurant Bar & Catering

the most beautiful restaurant in gaios with the best vegan options! the moussaka was delicious. the staff were also very considerate of my non-vegan partner’s allergy.

We ordered a selection of food for takeaway to have in our villa. I must say that the food was excellent. The griddled courgettes were outstanding. The giourvalakia were so good. The seafood orzotto was very good too. We took a kilo of house wine to complement the whole meal. Can't recommend them enough if you don't feel like cooking or going out.

In a word - fabulous . Is is almost out of this world. The ambient, little deatails they took care of…and the food…delicious , tastefull and well arranged.

Fabulous and consistent are the attributes to be stressed here! We had dined here 3yrs ago and fallen in love with the beautiful garden setting. Coming back for my birthday dinner was the perfect choice as it turned out. Spyros Tranakas, chef and owner welcomed us and made sure everyone's individual needs were taken care of. Lovable atmosphere, immaculate and heartfelt service, Michelin star worthy cuisine with great attention to details. Besides kids-compatible menu options, we ordered for the grown-ups: an artisanal tuna tartare, nicely balanced with fruity and umami flavors, tuna filet grilled à point toppping a lovely garden salad with a steal-the-show dressing, and my personal favorite, lobster linguine boasting with flavor in every bite. Pairing the menu with an elegant Ovilos White of Ktima Biblia Chora was like the icing on the cake. — Superb dinner experience!

Great food, served by very friendly staff. A little distance from the harbour, but certainly worth the trip.

A beautiful and tranquil restaurant. The menu had some vegan and gluten free options but this wasn’t marked clearly so we had to clarify with the waiters. Though the two waiters were kind and trying their best, the service was slow as the restaurant was understaffed. Unfortunately this meant that we had to ask several times for things to finally arrive. Paying in cash meant we got 10% deducted from our bill which was a nice surprise!

Mediocre. Gin & tonic - no slice of lemon or lime - tonic in abundance - whatever happened to customer preference? No condiments on table. We don't do small beers. Why not? Buy some smaller glasses. Poached cod? So why dry and crispy? Wild greens. Very nice but when you can't see the rest of the food for them then think again. Carrot puree with almost everything. Has there been a carrot glut? I suspect this place thinks it's 10/10 - for me it barely achieves 3.

Great place away from the busy harbour. The food was great and service could not be faulted. Even though we arrived late one evening and were the only customers we were warmly welcomed and not rushed at any point. Plenty of fans to keep the air moving on hot evenings. Good varied choice of dishes to keep everyone happy.
