El Greco in Rawai is a cozy restaurant with a distinctly European — more specifically Greek — feel. Warm lighting, themed décor, street lanterns, and an easygoing evening vibe set the tone. Live music is played in the evenings, making it a good choice both for a relaxed dinner and for a livelier get‑together with friends.

The menu focuses on authentic Greek flavors and quality ingredients. You can taste good olive oil, plenty of herbs and spices, and the dishes are neatly presented. Expect classics like Greek salad, gyros, and souvlaki, along with meze sets (great for two or for a group), falafel, Greek‑style pizza, sea bass, lamb kleftiko, and hearty meat dishes such as beef stew and tender ribs in a sweet sauce. Portions are generous, so it works especially well for sharing.

The bar offers a solid selection: cocktails, wine, draft beer, local IPA, and even ouzo. There’s parking, a kids’ area, and card payments are accepted. The owner is often on site and keeps an eye on the operation.

A few things to note: the restaurant is close to the road, so traffic noise can be noticeable outside. During busy hours there may be a wait and dishes don’t always arrive evenly paced, and service can vary depending on the shift.
