Brilliant family run cafe with amazing views! Always our first and last place to visit in Kefalonia knowing we’ll get a genuinely warm, smiley welcome from the lovely host Melina. Food choice is not huge (as it’s not a restaurant) but it’s fresh, tasty and the best value for money we’ve found anywhere. Beer is served in frozen glasses, often with a bit of ice forming at the bottom - delicious! The staff are fabulous, they are always very friendly, courteous, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The best place on the island for either a drink or spot of lunch - VERY highly recommended! Ignore the one star reviews and try it for yourself - I guarantee you’ll be back! Bonus point - aircraft going out or coming in to land fly virtually over your head!

I go to Tropicana a few times a week, and it never disappoints! The service is truly the best. Melina and Stavros are amazing — hardworking, kind, and you can see how much love they put into the place. Tropicana is a go-to spot, whether you’re alone and want to relax by the mesmerizing view of Ammes Beach, or whether you’re with friends and want to enjoy good company. It’s simply perfect every time!

We had a lovely sandwich and chips the price was fair to say it was directly near the sea, the sandwich tasted good and the drinks were nice! I appreciated the smiley friendly service. Thanks guys!

We love Mel and her family. We always call in for drinks or a snack when we're in the area. Love seeing the planes coming in to land over our heads, the view across the sea, watch cruise ships leave on their way to their next destination, and of course the sunsets are just amazing! Highly recommend this little place to pop in while youre having a day at the beach or for drinks on your way out!

This is a lovely family run cafe, perfect for when you leave Ammes beach. The food is perfect for a snack and the service is genuinely friendly. Nothing is too much trouble and Melina is happy to chat when she’s not too busy due to the popularity her establishment. My husband and I have been coming here for many years because of the relaxed atmosphere, reasonably priced food and drinks, sea view and the lovely welcome. Thank you to all the family.

As soon as I set foot on the island I rushed to enjoy the "Tropicana" sunset. Impeccable service even during peak hours! Melina's lovely smile is a bonus.
