Mavirko

Frommer's Review

There's no denying that this is the most celebrated restaurant in Lindos -- arguably in all of Rhodes -- as attested to by the various rich and famous who have dined here in recent decades. And it deserves this reputation by combining elegant food with the rustic charm of the tree-shaded terrace. The brothers Michalis and Dimitri Mavrikos continue a now 70-year-old family tradition of fine Greek and French cuisine, such as their oven-baked lamb and fine beef filets, or the perfectly grilled and seasoned fresh red snapper. The food is especially distinguished the subtle flavors provided by seasonings -- butter beans in a sauce with carobs, beef in a casserole with bergamot, tuna with fenugreek. And for something truly special, try their appetizer of shrimp paste. The brothers Mavrikos also run a great ice-cream parlor, Geloblu, serving homemade frozen concoctions and cakes. It's within the labyrinth of the old town near the church.
