lauren n chloe (girl who got clonked)

Great food and a great laugh. If you go to Roda then you have to try here at least one night. Costa and staff are a night out in themselves.

That costas was a cheeky chap. Nice bloke, good food, good atmosphere and he always totted your bill up on the paper tablecloth which i thought was a nice touch. Watched him spying on the place nextdoor quite a lot which was funny. that place was good too, but can't remember what it was called.

We have been to Roda 2 years in a row now and during both visits we came to Roda Park many times to eat. You receive such a friendly welcome and are made to feel like part of the family. The food is lovely as well as the service and that really made our holiday. Roda Park is the best place to eat in Roda by far thanks to the sense of humour of Costas and his staff. Can't wait to return one day!

Unfortunately we only found this place at the end of our holiday, Costa the owner is a really funny guy and will often come and sit at your table for a chat, food was gorgeous and service excellent we are going back to Roda next year and will be heading straight for roda park

We tried a few places to eat in Roda and all were nice but Roda Park had something more, COSTAS AND STAFF, they are very entertaining and friendly. When you ask for the bill he jokes no and walks off, when he eventually comes back he sits with you and asks what you had and spends time getting to know you. Well worth a visit!!

IF YOU GO TO EAT ANYWHERE ON THE ISLAND YOU ARE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. THIS RESTUARANT HAS EVERYTHING. AT NIGHT THIS RESTUARANT IS FULL UNLIKE MOST OF THE OTHER RESTUARANTS IN RODA WHICH SPEAKS FOR ITSELF AND THE WHOLE RESTUARANT IS ONE BIG PARTY USUALLY COSTAS IS CONSTANTLY PLAYING TRICKS ON PEOPLE BUT IT IS ALL GOOD FUN AND IS NOTHING THAT IS MEANT TO OFFEND ANYONE. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS WOULD BE WHEN SOMEONE ORDERS SOUP HE PUTS THEIR BOWL OF SOUP IN FRONT OF THEM WITH A WOODEN SPOON IN IT BUT WHEN THEY LIFT THE SPOON ITS FULL OF HOLES BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY CAN TAKE A JOKE AND WE HAVE SPENT HOLIDAYS PLANNING HOW TO GET THEM BACK.
I HAVE KNOWN COSTAS AND VOULA THE OWNERS FOR 1O YEARS NOW AND YOU WILL NOT FIND A MORE FRIENDLY, GENEROUS AND CARING COUPLE. YOU WILL GO IN A STRANGER AND COME OUT A FRIEND. COSTAS AND VOULA TAKE TIME TO GET TO KNOW THEIR CUSTOMERS AND ARE ALWAYS WILLING TO GIVE ADVICE AND IF THEY DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER THEY WILL FIND SOMEONE WHO DOES.
THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN WE HAVE BEEN VERY GLAD OF THEIR HELP ESPECIALLY IN 2003 WHEN MY MUMS MATE FELL IN A POTHOLE AND HAD TO GO TO THE CLINIC IN CORFU TOWN. AS MANOS DID NOT HAVE ANY BOARD OUTSIDE THE APARTMENTS SHE WAS STAYING IN WE WENT ROUND TO THE RODA PARK AND COSTAS AND VOULA GOT THE DOCTOR IN TO SEE TO HER AND WHEN THE DOCTOR SAID SHE HAD TO GO TO CORFU TOWN TO GET HER NOSE STITCHED,COSTAS DROVE US THERE AND MADE SURE WE HAD EVERYTHING WE MIGHT NEED INCLUDING MONEY AND AS SHE HAD TO STAY IN OVERNIGHT WE GOT A TAXI BACK THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND GOT INTO TROUBLE FOR NOT PHONING COSTAS AND GETTING HIM TO PICK US UP.WHEN WE THANKED HIM WE WERE TOLD THAT HE HADN'T DONE ANYTHING. THE MANOS REP TOLD HER IT WAS A PITY SHE DIDN'T HAVE TWO BLACK EYES TO GO WITH HER SWOLLEN NOSE ONE REASON WHY I WILL NOT BE TRAVELLING WITH MANOS IF THAT IS HOW THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I HAVE ALSO SEEN A FAMILY OF ABOUT 8 WHO HAD EATEN IN THE RESTUARANT EVERY NIGHT AND ON THE LAST NIGHT WALKED PAST THE RESTUARANT, COSTAS ASKED THEM WHY THEY WERE NOT COMING IN AND THEY REPLIED THEY HAD RUN OUT OF MONEY - THEY STILL GOT A MEAL EACH WHICH JUST GOES TO PROVE THEY ARE NOT JUST INTERESTED IN GETTING BUMS ON SEATS THEY GENUINELY CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS.
TO THE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT LIKE THE RODA PARK I WOULD SAY THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AND YOU SHOULD TRY GETTING TO KNOW THE STAFF AS INDIVIDUALS.THE GREEKS WORK VERY LONG HOURS, THEY CAN START AT 8 IN THE MORNING AND CAN STILL BE WORKING AT 1 OR 2 THE NEXT MORNING, THEY DON'T HAVE DAYS OFF DURING THE TOURIST SEASON AND EVEN DURING THEY STILL WORK HARD GETTING THINGS READY FOR THE NEXT SEASON. IT IS NO USE GOING ON HOLIDAY AND EXPECTING EVERYTHING TO BE LIKE IT IS BACK HOME YOU HAVE TO ADAPT TO THEIR WAY OF LIFE.

We had a lovely time in Roda Park, and it was definately the best taverna we went to in Roda! The service was brilliant and Costas & Voula were lovely people. Costas was dead interested in my camcorder lol. We found they were very friendly without being pushy like a lot of restaurant owners are in Roda. Also the chefs seemed quite friendly too! It's in a lovely setting, with grape vines everywhere making it a nice area to sit and eat in. It also got very busy in the evenings! Highly recommended

I would just like to say that the Roda Park is more than just a restuarant. My mother was bitten by mosquito bites in her eyes this year. They were brilliant with her, checking on her everyday, even offereing to give take out food to her while she was unable to go out in the sunlight. She was also sitting in the restaurant when a family of eight walked past who had eaten at the Roda Park everynight. Costas stopped them (as it was their last night and hadn't had a meal there). When Costas was told that the family had run out of money he fed them all for free! Its good to know that not everybody is interested profit alone. I think they also seem to double as an unofficial tourist information office. I would like to point out that my husband and I have been going there for over ten years. We are both in our late twenties and have no children or tattoo.

Just returned from Roda and had to write to say how great the Roda Park was. Every meal was superb and all the staff made you feel so welcome. Friday nights are the best with the Greek dancing, plate smashing and wine tasting. Thank you Costas, Voula, Yanni and Albert (our kids favourite waiter) for a great time and look forward to seeing you again. More toaaaaast Costas from your Scottish friends.

steve!!! are you back in roda? tried contacting you over here, you have disapeared again! hi costas. hi voula. thanks so much for keeping in touch, the boys look adorable.
listen you guys - get in touch - want to come over in october.
glad to see restaurant still the best in roda - always was and always will be. very special people and special place.
xxxxxx

sunil shouldnt have stayed if he didnt like it, the staff and foods great, i guess he wouldnt kno it if it bit him on his backside, costas, voula and the rest of them are very friendly, bin goin to roda park for 8 years without one bad meal , any sane people, like brian and family relise roda park is probably the best in corfu. sunil can have his opinion but unforunately hes wrong, luckly hes not going to roda park anymore so costas wont have to put up with the jerk anymore!

This was our 3rd visit to Roda and i must admit we ate every night except 1 at Roda park.superb food sensibly priced.
Brians partners sister was taken ill and was taken to Corfu hospital.not only did Costas and Voula take the trouble of phoning the hospital to keep us informed he also sent flowers to her.
that is the sort of welcome you can expect,you start out as customers and end up as friends!

Who is making assumptions now Sunil? Actually, I am Diane (Brian's partner) who replied to you as I was so incensed with your criticism of both the Roda Park Restaurant and Roda itself. Brian actually has a full head of dark hair, is slim built and very intelligent - that is why he (and myself, my sister and mum) all eat at Roda Park each night. We have never had a bad meal - it has always been brilliant and very good value too. We take it we won't be seeing you in Roda anyway - thank goodness for that. We will send Costas your best regards.

Having read Sunil's comments, myself and my family can only assume he should have gone to Kavos or better still Maconalds as he obviously does not appreciate excellent food, friendly staff and the best restaurant in Roda and probably Corfu. He obviously does not like Roda - everyone to their own but so many people come back year after year they must be doing something right. I think Sunil is obviously in the minority and Roda will be a better place without him. My family are very good friends with Costas and Voula who run this restaurant, keeping in touch throughout the year, and we absolutely love everything about Roda. Looking forward to going again very soon and we can't wait.

Each time we go to Roda we tend to eat at the Roda Park most nights. The service can be a bit slow but the continual entertainment makes up for the slow service, and what have you got to rush off for anyway!! My daughter loved it one year when she was sat on the corner of atable adn one of the guys providing the entertainment lifted the table with his teeth - with her sat on it!!

The only things I would have to complain about is that they (Costas and Steve) sometimes tell you to leave without paying and say that you can pay the day after - we did this on numerous occassions and always paid but last time we went, we had our meal, were told to pay the following day - which we did, we paid Steve at about 10am the following morning but that evening Costas asked us for the money for the previous nights bill. We told him that we had already paid Steve, Steve couldn't remember us paying him and so Costas did not belive that we had done. Needless to say we didn't go there again after this and are a bit dubious about going there again when we return at the end of May.

This will be our fourth year in roda and we spend every evening dining out at the Roda park. We consider Costas and Voula to be very special friends and keep in touch throughout the year. The food, the service and the atmosphere cannot be matched anywhere we have been. Our favourite dishes are the moussaka, the kleftiko, and the specials. All the staff are great, good fun and efficient as well as slightly mad! Can't wait to go again in june.

We have been going to roda for the past 18 yrs and we love it.
We have tried the roda park and we are not knocking it its ok,but we always eat at niko,s family taverna next door.

I think everyone has the same thoughts, this place is special! The food, the atmosphere, the staff, everything! This place is what helps make Roda so delightful. I cant wait to be back there in the summer.
One tip, try the Beetroot Tower, you wont be disappointed!

CALM DOWN.

Hi Costas and Voula,

How the HELL can anyone knock Roda Park,if they don't like it they shouldn't be in Greece,let alone Corfu. People come on cheap holidays and expect the Hilton,sorry, get your act together.

Back to sensible comment now Costas and family,we look forward to seeing you soon,maybe it will be called COSTAS McDONALDS (LOL).Coming back to buy property this time.

See you soon,Love,

Richard & Denise.

it was so great and the servise was great.
me and my family have been going for 11 years and we always go back every year.
the prices are good to!!!

This year was our first time visiting Corfu - boy did we fall lucky. Roda Park is a fantastic place to be, like others we ate there each evening and it really was like being amongst friends. Voula and Costas are really wonderful, warm people and my two children 11 & 14 would begin planning what they wanted to eat for their evening meal as soon as they woke up! I think they debated and planned what they wanted for their last meal for a full week! I was assured that the specials were delicious, there was nothing that my husband and children did not like. I'm a vegetarian and there was plenty of choice for me too ... it was no hardship to have the same dishes more than once during the holiday because they were so tasty. I must also give a special mention to Albert, one of the waiters who is a lovely young man. We're looking forward to seeing everybody again next year.

We have just come back from our first holiday in Roda, it was fantastic. We had breakfast every morning in the Roda Park and ate most evenings there aswell. Costa and his wife Voula were brilliant hosts. Very friendly and a good laugh. They have a wide range on the menu from english, italian and traditional greek dishes. There chicken Salads are great. My husband absoultely loved the garlic mushroom starter and Mousaka main course, so much he had it on at least 3 occasions. Our 4 year old daughter was also well catered for as you can imagine at that age they can be very fussy eaters. Costa and Voula were very accomodating to our every need. On one evening we were evening given a bottle of Champagne. I can't wait to go back and make some more fantastic memories.

The food was excellent the first night, i had chicken fillets in barbecue sauce with rice. The next time i ordered chicken fillets with garlic sauce, but unfortunately the sauce was missing! The service from the waiters was great, the one bad point was the stroppiness of the waitress who gave us the bill. The prices were okay, but i always seemed to feel that there was not enough food on my plate!

with delicious food and excellent service roda park is not just the best in roda, its the best in greece. when we got to roda park we were told the spiecal and invited in once we sat we were given the menu and ordered our drinks and then our meal. both the drinks and the meals came within fifteen minutes. the second night we revisited roda park for my birthday, we had our meal as before and then costa came to our table and gave me a large cake that had the words `happy birthday kayleigh` writen on the top. roda parks greek night was excellent; with lemon and greek dancing, wine tasteing and lots more; that night we got home at two'o'clock.once youve visited roda park you will go there again and again: we did we went there nearly every night!!!

I would recommend all the meals on the Roda Park menu as my family and myself have been going to Roda for a number of years and after trying other restaurants in Roda have chosen to always eat there on subsequent holidays, so therefore have probably tried everything on the menu. I would especially recommend the "Mussels Saganaki" as having tried this dish in other resorts on Corfu, I haven't found any that can match the quality and taste of this dish as served at the Roda Park.
As for the staff, they welcome you as if you are one of the family making you feel completely relaxed in this friendly environment

It was our first visit to Roda and we ate at Roda Park every night, except the first. We loved the atmosphere and loved the food. I am a vegetarian and there was plenty of choice. Costas even asked what I liked and the cooked it for me the next night. My husband loved the lamb kleftiko. He also liked the "greek lady" dessert, which always got a few giggles.The service was very friendly and makes us want to go back next year.

I've been to Roda several times and can honestly say I've never, ever had a bad meal at the Roda Park. I first met Costas in 1986 and he is as nice now as he was then and nothing is too much trouble for him.

Definitely worth a visit.....or two......or three!!!!!!!!!!

I have been to Roda five times and eat at the Roda Park all the time. No matter how busy they are, they always have time for a laugh and introduce diners to other diners, you can have a debate with half the restaurant, or just have a quiet meal, whichever you prefer.

Costas and Voula and Adonis not only serve good food but they give loads of info on the resort. (who needs a rep when you have them!)

everytime we go to roda, we always end up eating at the roda park. The food is good especially the (bekra meze) and the chicken kebabs. The service is good and you are always served with a smile even if your greek is as bad as mine. Costas and voula go out of their way to make you feel at home.

Only had pizza but it was great!

This is the place to be. whether you, like myself do not eat too much in the heat, Costas will serve a baby portion of anything without a moan. Feast your eyes on the delicious Mario and drool over the wonderful desserts on offer. Mario could be my starter for a euro anyday. Best dish of the day without a doubt is swordfish followed by stifado. Wonderful. See you there sometime.

THE RODA PARK SERVES WELL COOKED FOOD AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE AND IT IS REALLY LIKE A GREAT BIG FAMILY GATHERING WITH EVERYONE JOINING IN THE FUN. YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO HAVE TRICKS PLAYED ON YOU SUCH AS THE ONE I HAD PLAYED ON ME LAST YEAR WHEN I ORDERED SOUP AND IT CAME WITH A WOODEN SPOON WITH HOLES IN IT AND WHEN I COULDN'T EAT I WAS ASKED WHY I WASN'T EATING IT BUT SAYING THAT I HAVE FOUND THAT COSTAS, VOULA & ADONIS GIVE YOU GOOD ADVICE NOT JUST ABOUT THE RESTUARANT BUT FOR YOUR SAFETY WHILST ON HOLIDAY AND THEY ALSO TRY VERY HARD TO MAKE YOUR HOLIDAY AS ENJOYABLE AS POSSIBLE. THE FACT THAT THE RESTUARANT IS ALSO FULL EVERY NIGHT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

this restaurant is great. good service and prices!! and staff are really friendly!! recomend it to anyone.

Best place to eat in Roda. Specials are particularly good. Don't go there for a quick meal though, accept that your meal will take time and just enjoy the experience.
