Vrachos Palaiokastritsa

We recently ate at Vrachos in Paleokastritsa and was hugely impressed with the food, service, staff and location. Not only does this restaurant look over the beautiful Paleokastritsa bay, but it has two floors to really view the restaurant set into the cliffs. My husband and I was met and seated then introduced to our waiter, Rafael. Rafael was welcoming, extremely professional and polite and advised us on what food and drink based on our taste and flavour choices. We opted for drinks first while we reviewed the extensive and smart menu, which also included clear labelling of gluten free options (impressive when I normally have to ask each time abroad). We decided to share a mixed grill for two people, which came with chips and pitta bread but opted for salad and my husband had the pitta bread. The amount of meat was amazing , the quality exceptional and the value superb. Rafael continued to refill our drinks, offer more ice and ensure we were happy, extremely attentive and excellent customer service. If I had a restaurant he would be the first I would be recruiting! Whether ypu pop by for drinks, a starter, main or dessert you will not be disappointed by this restaurant or the fantastic service by staff. We will definitely be back next time we're in town and could not recommend Vrachos or Rafael enough!

Not perfect for gluten free. I was here in May. Team was really knowledgeable about gluten free but I somehow got a killer headache after eating. I think there was cross contamination. Restaurant should be more careful about that. Explain to staff that gluten free means be careful!!
