Had a great meal here on day one of our holiday. Read all the reviews of most of the restaurants in the resort and the Reef and the Women's Co-op were top. After eating at the Woman's Co-op tonight, I can confirm the Reef was the best meal and the best service. Highly recommend.

Have just returned from Lesvos, and some of the best meals had were at the Reef, a new decking outside just totally enhanced the experience, watching the magical sunsets eating superb food is what a true holiday is about. The staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble and the changing menu each year enhances the traditional meals, a real... More

Kostas has overcome the terrible storms in March this year which took part of the road away and he now has a sundeck over the beach which gives you a better experience of the fantastic sunsets as well as the indoor seating, the food is as good as ever and the service from the staff is excellent, the prices are...

The Reef pays a lot of attention to the outward presentation of the restaurant and the service is excellent. We visited many restaurants during our stay and although they are all good this one wasn't as good as some of the others. That said it may have purely been down to the meal choices we made. My parents had the... More

after we found this place we never went anywhere else, the free entertainment along with the reasonable prices combinded with the friendly atmosphere made it very plesant, most days and nights the same faces where in. Costas is great, his little old mum is a gem.

There is no doubt that the food here is good but, I would describe the cuisine as English transport cafe rather than Greek. This is the place to be if you want to watch the footie on an enormous TV whilst masticating a bacon sarnie. The staff are friendly and service is good. A new external deck has enhanced the... More

We found Reef Restaurant in Petra, after a long trip to Lesvos. Thank goodness for Costas and his great team, their service and the great food proved to be a great restorative. We happily ate there on most evenings of our stay and the food was just superb, sometimes new tastes, different recipes from other Areas of Greece, always cooked... More

We had two fantastic meals at the Reef on our holiday. The owner,Costas was so nice and was great with children. All the staff were really friendly and the food was to die for. We even had a yummy breakfast on the beach. Definately worth a trip or two on holiday!

This was our second visit to Petra and we were not disappointed by the food at Reef. Costas was his usual jovial self and every meal we tried was absolutely superb, so much so we had a cookery lesson and were taught how to make Pasta Reef, brilliant food! Also, the best sunbeds on the beach, so comfy and only... More
