Andros Restaurants

The Kandouni is situated at the far end of Batsi beach, away from the town and next door to the Cavo Doro restaurant. There's a shady eating area at the front, overlooking the beach. George is in charge of the day-to-day running of the place and he's a friendly, courteous man. His mother does the cooking, so it's all home produced - her moussaka in particular is excellent, and the Greek salad with local cheese is a good eat. The food's not gourmet standard but it's plain, delicious and good value. There's a little bar next door owned by George's sister and her husband - it's nice to sit there in the evening, having a drink before heading off into town for dinner - or, if you're tired, just going next door!
George has put some sun umbrellas and loungers on the beach; when we were there in June he wasn't charging for their use, although you were expected to buy a drink from the bar - not a problem! - it was nice to have one's morning coffee or juice brought out!
There's also accommodation on the first floor of the building - we've stayed there and it's nice.
Basically it's a nice friendly place to spend a lunchtime or an evening - we've sat in there for more hours than anywhere else on our trips to Batsi, and we're already looking forward to next year's visit.

Favorite Dish: Greek salad with local cheese, moussaka

Oneof a number of good restaurants and tavernas in Batsi, but this one is open all year round. Good local food, great service and a nice location in a back street with plenty of opportunities for people-watching.
In 2010 the owners opened an extension, a room opposite the restaurant with a fabulous view over the harbour.

Favorite Dish: All goo-quality, especially the lamb kleftiki.
Lovely desserts!
