We stopped to peruse the menu outside and were greeted without being pressurised into entering. The prices seemed okay, and we were both hungry, so we accepted the waiter’s invitation to come inside. We decided to take a table on the top deck, where the views were to-die-for, worth the meal price alone.

We went straight for the main course, with Caroline choosing a fruits de mer consisting of mixed fish and shellfish in a rich sauce, whilst I opted for my first stifado of the holiday. Funny, when you’re at home and the weather’s been hot, the last thing you’d eat is a stew, but there’s stew and then there’s stifados.

We ordered a litre of dry house red, which was very quaffable and priced well at 5 euros, along with two large beers at 2.50 euros each. The food arrived within 10 minutes, and like just about every other meal we had on Rhodes, it was good, with large helpings, beautiful presentation, and cooked just right.

Caroline enjoyed her fish, which was cooked to perfection, and my stifado was great--tender pieces of beef, the tomato wasn’t bitter, and the vinegar sauce provided just the merest hint of "bite".

We cleared our plates, finished the wine, and asked for two "rakis" to wash down the food. These came free of charge, along with a small bowl of fruit, also gratis.

The bill came to 29 euros, which we thought to be excellent value for the feast and stunning view we’d enjoyed. I’d recommend "Dionysos" to one and all, should you ever have the pleasure of visiting Lindos.
