A family restaurant in Zakynthos Town

Something for every appetite

The hardest part of eating out with the family is finding one place that keeps everybody happy. Alektor solves it quietly. Grown-ups reach for the Greek classics and the day's fresh fish; fussier young eaters go straight for the Italian side of the menu — proper pizza and pasta that never fail. Nobody has to compromise, and nobody has to eat something they don't fancy. Take a look at the full menu and you'll see there's a plate here for the pickiest toddler and the most particular grandparent alike.

Music the children love

Every night from 8pm, guitar and mandolin fill the square with the traditional sound of Zakynthos. It turns dinner into something children remember: they clap along, they wander closer to watch, and before long they've joined the Greek dancing that breaks out between the tables. Parents get to sit back for a moment while the little ones are swept up in it. If you'd like to know what the evenings feel like, read about our live music every night.

Room for the whole clan

Family meals are rarely just four people. With seating for up to 250 across the indoor room and the tables out on the square, Alektor has space for the cousins, the in-laws and the friends you picked up on holiday — all at one long table if you like. Sitting in the pedestrian heart of Zakynthos Town, it's easy to reach on foot and safe for children, with no traffic to worry about as they wriggle out of their chairs.

Warm, unhurried and easygoing — the kind of family restaurant in Zakynthos Town where a long dinner with the kids feels like a treat rather than a test of patience. Book a table ahead, or simply bring the whole family and walk straight in.
