Fantastic place for breakfast! Relaxing and watching Skala drift by, we travelled miles for breakfast here. You can have full English or yoghurt and fruit, everything is lovely and the service fantastic, try it!

I have to say the Old Village rescued our holiday last year from being a complete disaster.  We went for the October half term and found almost everything shut.  The places that were open seemed to be staffed by people who were consistently rude, unhelpful and determined to demonstrate that us tourists were in no way wanted. 

This taverna seems to have gone downhill over the years (since 2001), but it certainly has atmosphere. We didn't try it this year as we knew there was better so I can't comment on the latest situation. Hopefully they will have improved.

We went here only one night of our stay this year.  While the staff are friendly and the welcome is pleasant the service was abysmal.  We waited nearly an hour and a half for three pizzas and pasta.

The main man would not admit that he had forgotton to place our order even after several reminders.

we loved the old village .the food was beautiful i had the filletsteak  it was very tender and cooked to perfection we had two meals in one week and found the waiters to be be first class my received a red rose every time we left wich i thought was a very romantic jesture recomend to ervery one good food and try the rosey wine its fab

The Old Village (Zorbas) was a lovely restaurant, a lovely setting in the garden especially.  The cat and her kitten were quite an attraction too!  My boyfriend and I found it quiet and romantic and full of a better type of clientele (not meaning to be snobby!) than some places.  Even when they made a small error on my pizza on our second visit (they forgot to remove the mushrooms) they were great, re-made it and my boyfriend's so we could eat together and apologised and then at the end gave us a couple of lovely watermelon cocktails on the house!  Prices not any more than other places and staff very friendly.

We had lunch here one day and it was good.  Nothing standout to be fair, but no complaints at all, and it hit the spot :)  I suppose the fact that we only ate there once says something (when compared to Noufaro and Mi Abelli) but thats not to say we wouldn't have gone back.

we ate here every morning for breakfast, you can get a good selection here and is the best price on the high street 4.50 euros for the full works sausage,bacon,egg,beans,tomato,toast,mushrooms,orange juice and tea or coffee what more do you want fill up here, the service is excellent we went once and the waiter knew what we wanted the next day and would speak to you as you were walking down the road.  excellen

We (a party of 7 of all ages from UK and Brazil ) spent 2 weeks in Skala in July 2005. We eat out every night either in Skala or elsewhere on island. We never had a bad meal or unfriendly staff anywhere BUT without doubt the The Old Village was definitely he best.

Many thanks to all the staff. Don't know their names apart from the lovely Nectaria, but the drinks waiter and the lady owner were also wonderful. We shall be back on our next trip. We also liked Kalivo restaurant very much as the owner puts on Greek fire dancing display and gets everyone involved, even out in the street, but sorry Kalivo you can't quite match the food and service.  

Just Back July 2005

We really enjoyed the visits we made to the Old Village / Zorba's, we had to wait on a table on a couple of occassions, so it was obviously popular. The pizzas are excellent, really, really the best thing they do. I had a Stiffardo, which was nice enough and a Mousaka, which to be honest was below par! Staff seem very nice, but I think the place may be ruled with an iron fist!!! Very Efficient!

We returned from Skala 2 weeks ago.  This was our first visit to Kefalonia.  We tried all the restaurants in skala and enjoyed some excellent meals.  However, overall, I must say that The Old Village restaurant (Zorbas) was our favourite.  We ate there several times for breakfast, lunch or dinner and found the food delicious.  The traditional dishes were superb but also, so were the continental dishes. The starter dishes were wonderful.(generous portions too)  Before our return home we decided to order the lobster for two. What can I say, the chef excelled.  The lobster was spot on.   The large platter of seafood was spectacular and came with side dishes which were wonderful.  The only advice I would give if you order this dish is to sit at a large table as there isnt't enough room on a standard one!
