Tarsanas Restaurant

Really good food here. The Greek salads were huge and super fresh with delicious feta. Plus the fried chickpea balls and fried zucchini – all perfectly cooked and tasted really authentic. Location right on the beach is awesome, and the staff were super friendly. If you're on Samos and looking for good, authentic Greek food, go here. Highly recommend!

We went there with high expectations after reading the reviews, but the food didn’t really impress us. The atmosphere by the sea was nice and the service was quick.

We had lunch here with the two of us and both ordered pizza. It was absolutely delicious! I had the garlic pizza, which was topped with real, strong garlic — exactly how it should be. The flavor was sharp, fresh, and very satisfying. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic taste in a great atmosphere!

We went swimming one day and for dinner the next. It's the perfect place for both swimming and dinner. Everything was delicious and the portions were large. The fried calamari was especially good and the portions were large. The waitress, with her beautiful blonde hair and smiling face, was wonderful and very friendly.

It's our favorite restaurant in Kokkari, with everything. The friendly faces, the owner's smile every time we pass by because it's close to our hotel, the food is great and the prices are okay. It's definitely a wonderful place we'll remember. If we ever find ourselves in Kokkari again, we'll always stop by and eat there🫶🏻🧿

Beautiful location, underwhelming food — not planning to return We visited Tarsanas Restaurant as a group of six, including two 8-year-olds. The setting is truly beautiful — it's right on the shore, with lovely lighting along the seaside. From your table, you can watch fish and ducks swimming just below, which creates a very relaxing atmosphere. We were about 30 minutes late for our reservation, and the waitress seemed visibly annoyed. One of the staff members in particular came across as a bit serious and unwelcoming, but it wasn’t a major issue overall. We ordered a variety of meze, but none were memorable. The grilled calamari was disappointing — most likely frozen, as it had a rubbery texture. The sea bass was decent, but not exceptional. What really let us down was that all the main dishes were served with apple-cut French fries. In a Greek seaside restaurant, this felt out of place and almost like an insult to the cuisine. At the end, they brought us a plate of watermelon and a complimentary ouzo, which was a lovely gesture and definitely the highlight of the night. Unfortunately, despite the great location and small moments of hospitality, the overall dining experience didn’t meet our expectations — we don’t plan to return. Overall: ⭐⭐⭐ Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food: ⭐⭐⭐ Price/Value: ⭐⭐ Setting: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The best experience ever !! We came from Izmir on 29th of March as 4 people. Foods were pretty pretty delicious and the place sees beatiful see as a view (there are tables outside near the see). The service, interest were awesome!! Special thanks for the owners Kyriakos and his wife. If I go to Samos again, noone can convince me to eat elsewhere.

The atmosphere and the view is amazing but i have to say the food was really disappointing. I would personally recommend the Musaki but stay away from all the seafood there because it was really dry and tasteless. Also we were 4 people and we wanted to pay separately with the credit card and they said no, so we were forced to pay cash. There are lots of nice restaurants with the same price range. I would go there not to eat but only watch the view in the sunset while walking(only walking).
