Voltes

Amazing little restaurant with decent prices. Seafood Orzo and Yiayia's Pork were to die for. Recommend to anyone travelling to Monemvasia.

When entering Monemvasia one might easily walk by the little entrance and unseeming exterior. But it would be a huge mistake if you did. The service was great and attentive, the recommendations we got were really good choice as well. The atmosphere was cozy with the fun music and decorations. The food is put together with such care and eye for detail. Everything was delicious by itself, everything fit very well together for combinating - as the Mezedes dishes are meant to be - and it was just incredibly fun to eat. The desserts, chocolate mousse and a passion fruit cheesecake, were an absolute treat as well. Portion sizes and prices are very much so appropriate, especially for the quality of food. I'm glad I had the pleasure of eating here and will absolutely be coming back when next I visit Greece.

This is easily the best restaurant in Monemvasia. The food was very fresh and full of flavour and the prices were much better than anywhere else. The serves were good sizes, after one starter, bread and two mains we were both very full. The marinated pork and chicken breast were both absolutely delicious. The chicken was the best cooked breast I've had in years, flavoursome, with crispy skin but very moist. A lot of care and thought has gone into the menu. They give an interesting modern twist to local recipes and ingredients. The service was also very friendly and excellent which is often missing in touristy places like this. Thanks so much for a great experience!

We stayed in Monemvasia for a few nights and this was the restaurant highlight for us - excellent quality food and wine, at a great price and with friendly staff. Thank you!

Very fortunate to get a table at this restaurant just inside the castle gate. Warm welcome to us all, including a bowl of water for our dog. Ordered the Voltes salad, Brioche buns with octopus, local bacon, pickled cucumbers and onion relish and the stuffed aubergine rolls. We don't usually go for dessert, but we ordered the lemon mousse and chocolate mousse with olive oil and sea salt. All divine! Local wines too, including orange, unfiltered ones. If ever we are in the region again, we will definitely eat there.

Fantastic vibes (think wood & eclectic vintage kitsch). With an open kitchen serving up rustic dishes with a focus on celebrating local products. Paired with a solid wine list (affordable house wines, including retsina, and bottles). Friendly staff and English menus make this a local haunt for hip Greeks, plus tourists in the know (a local shopkeeper told us “either go to Voltes or back across the bridge and into town”). Don’t leave without ordering the chocolate mouse with salt and spearmint 🤤 and only €5.50 (can feed 2 people, but trust me, you want your own—it’s THAT good). Also loved the mushrooms and ham and thyme (€7.50), sfela fried cheese with apple jam (€6.50), pumpkin soup (€5), and leek with fennel soup (€5). Next time, I’ll try the meatballs, eel, and lemon mouse! And repeat the medium sweet rose mini bottle for €5.50.

Stumbled across this gem on our first night in wonderful Monemvasia. Food and service excellent. Unusual flavour combination of lovely local produce. Not your standard Greek fare. Will be going again to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.

Popped in for dinner with friends. Great atmosphere and service. If you are a bit of a foodie and looking for traditional dishes with a twist this is the place to go for. Highly recommended PS: They have some unfiltered orange wines on the menu, worths a try
