zante zakynthos 13: horrible sweet revenge, fab olive tree, p’s , meze , tsilivi restaurants and shops

after the day on tsilivi beach doing lots of sunbathing and swimming we watched the football this afternoon and had a good few pints , and a few points for the win  !

afterwards went and looked for somewhere to eat, deciding to use olive garden or  sweet revenge and looking at the menus outside but found the aussie staff really nasty and arrogant at sweet revenge … good god what is their problem at this restaurant ? pfft like you need to see that attitude on holiday ! while outside all of a sudden sweet revenge started attacking two of their customers [male and female , maybe american, or italian ??] and kicking them on the floor outside their restaurant , about 5 or 6 staff beating a woman with about 20 people outside watching and a whole load of diners in all the local restaurants . disgusting this happens in tsilivi . there was no way we were going in that place . shocking , absolute bloody animals who work there and several tripadvisor reviews mention this too ! decided not to go in there and to donate our hard earned cash elsewhere where they give a damn . looked at contessa , p’s , meze

but eventually settled for olive tree. had a really nice meal here , it was packed out every table , and the lady who owns it is a really nice and hard working ex pat english woman unlike the rats at sweet revenge. food was tasty but it really looks unspectacular in the pictures . but we had a particularly good meal here with fantastic service . highly recommended . food here : giant beans , and beef sofrito. think desert was baclava ?

    You are a liar. We have been eating in Sweet Revenge for the last 12 years and know all the staff very well. Would you give a description of any member of staff involved in the incident you allege happened.

      bit strong … why would I make that up. there was similar reviews and stories on line at same time. I was not the only witness, sweet revenge are animals. the word from other people was they didn’t enjoy starter then cancelled mains and got thrown down steps when leaving. everyone was talking about it in the rest and street all night try reading the bad reviews on trip advisor

        I don’t know if you’ll read this but your story doesn’t ring true. You can’t see Sweet Revenge from the Olive Tree – it’s on an entirely different street and a good 5 minute walk away. I’d love to see the trip advisor posts on this too.

        i know you cant. we left and went to olive tree, it isnt next door as you say . but we had a much better experience as in 30 rests we ate at. im sure you can find tripadvisor and search. late replying i must have missed your message

      • tharobster says:

        oh and by the way , i know it was 4 years ago , but i seem to recall people talking about it on tripadvisor forum , poss not reviews . but 100% tripadvisor . either way multiple people mentioned it . i stand by my post ive nothing to gain from saying it , sweet revenge are absolute animals !
