"Beautiful view overlooking the sea. Amazing prompt service, the food came out quickly. We ordered the dolmades, octopus in wine, Greek salad, veal in tomato sauce and tzatziki which were all yummy."

"Well prepared traditional Greek food. Nice terrace overlooking the sea. Worth a stop if exploring the castle."
Sam Economou
"We were a bit suspicious, as Monemvasia is very touristic place, but this restaurant was a great discovery. Fried fish and some appetizers were simply delicious. Paired with a glass of good white wine and superb view from the tarrace... it is just a heaven!"

The oldest taverna on the main street, Matoula is also the most touristed. Its selection of classic dishes is reliable rather than spectacular, but the views from its vine-draped terrace are gorgeous.
