Why smart?


The inspiration

Looking back in history, we hear tales of people travelling the seas in search of new worlds. The tides led them to foreign shores, where they found refuge from the intensity of the ocean. The travelers and locals shared knowledge with each other that brought forth new eras of culinary experiences. This knowledge of tastes and flavors was fused into the waves and spread around the seven seas. From the deep waters of the Pacific, restlessly washing up on the coast lines on south America, and eventually travelling up and into the salty trap we call the Mediterranean. On our menu you will find bits and pieces of this tasteful knowledge carried back and forth by the ocean gods themselves.

Hear them, feel them, taste them as you experience this unique approach of our fusion cuisine and bar.

The Concept

Even though our inspiration comes from the past, we strive to stay up to date with modern trends and international standards. 

Sustainability

Staying modern also means being conscientious towards our environment and the future of our planet. We have adopted a zero-waste initiative in our bar program, choosing to use our products in their entirety to minimize waste and challenge our creativity. Our menus are printed on recycled paper and we have eliminated 80% of all plastic products we used to use.

  • Naomi Burgeot
    Magical. Simply magical. If you are looking for a corner of paradise 10 meters from the beach to eat delicious dishes, look no further .. you are there! During our one week stay, we went there for lunch/dinner several times. The reason ? A more than friendly server team, endowed with pure kindness. We recommend the moussaka which was excellent. Special mention to Efie

    We had dinner here tonight and ordered the beef burger and the gyros with fries and tzaziki. Both dishes were super delicious and I can only recommend it to everyone. Furthermore, there were very good cocktails, a cozy atmosphere, very courteous waiters and nice music in the background.

  • Panagiotis Makris
    Amazing location, crystal clear sea, neat place... The service is polite (thank you George!) and the food (btw it's the 3rd time we visited Kanaloa) always delicious, filling, quality and "teased"... The music head off! The prices are super reasonable for what the restaurant offers! Holiday feeling! In general, from the places that make you want to stay from morning to night!

  • Julie B
    We have our villa not far from this beach. We go once daily to this restaurant for one of our 3 meals. Always welcome. Impeccable service and food. The waitress Efi was a motivation in addition to the food to come here because she is exceptional. Our kids love it and so do we. We recommend anyone passing by to come and have a meal in this restaurant which is much better than the one located next door. Also always good music. The Mojitos classics are also very good

  • Andreas Fleischer
    Stylish beachfront bar that serves cocktails and drinks as well as a small but very high quality food menu including salads, bowls, fingerfood, burgers and Hawaiian Pizza. Be sure to try their very own cocktail-inspired take on sushi rolls (ever had a Mai Tai Tuna Roll before?) with homemade wasabi! Service was very attentive and friendly.

  • Aapo Saranpää
    Best restaurant in Rhodes. My girlfriend is a celiac and the chef personally got her ingredients for gluten free food. The staff is extremely great. They know everything about their food and they acknowledge all possible allergies. In Kanaloa, you truly feel reapected and well cared for. Staff is very friendly, fun and welcoming! We tried couple of other restaurants in Rhodes, only to realise, that Kanaloa is simply the best. Service in Kanaloa is the best I have ever experienced. Food at Kanaloa is simply most excellent. I also recommend to try the awa awa drink! Kanaloa made our vacation feel very special. Great times! Thank you!

  • Sara Ashtekar
    Fantastic food and a beautiful view of the beach to go with it! We dined here twice during our visit to Rhodes, and both times, there was excellent service. The staff were all very welcoming and kind and open to conversation. Our waitress, Effy, was an absolute treasure and she made sure we were comfortable and happy. She was even kind enough to learn our names! She was so wonderful to us on our first visit, so we had to come back.The drinks were amazing! The bartender, kornelia, was incredible and so sweet and welcoming. My family and I had a lovely time getting to know the staff and eating the delicious food! I definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Rhodes!!

  • Wandalizmus
    We came to Kanaloa twice. First evening we had only cocktails. The ambience and the service especially our cocktails were so nice so we decided to have dinner on another day. We reserved a table for two in the front row for Thursday evening and everything went really nice: Our sushi plate, the mussels, dessert and cocktails as well were super delicious. Never had something like this before. We had a great evening with a super lovely waitress and everything was really really nice. This was a very nice dinner and made our holidays here on Rhodes special. Thank you very much. Lots of love from Germany

Our kitchen philosophy

The concept behind our kitchen is all about bringing something funky and fresh to the table (both literally and figuratively) every year. Our idea of fusion is about harmonizing tastes and techniques from all over the world with those of the Greek cuisine. Our brunch and lunch menu have been carefully crafted in such a way for you to enjoy whether you sit at one of our sea view tables or while laying on a comfortable sun bed right on the beach. When the sun begins to set, we switch over to our dinner menu where you find a wide variety of options unique to Kanaloa. Local Greek recipes deconstructed and re-built with modern cooking techniques and flavors. Whether you are in the mood for seafood, meat, pasta or vegan options, we can cover all your tasteful needs.

Our bar program

Our bar program is not just a bunch of cocktail recipes and drinks printed on a sheet of paper. Our bar program has been set up to create a special experience for each and every one of our guests that honors us with their presence. Be it a good quality wine served at the proper temperature, a beer made in a Greek microbrewery that cannot be found everywhere, a hot or cold beverage or coffee served with love and affection, or one of our unique signature cocktails that have so many stories to tell. Our bar program is something we are very proud of and will continue to push toward progress and sustainability each and every season. Check out what we have new for this season. And we look forward to seeing you soon.
