Our Story
50 years of culinary heritage
How Broadway Restaurant in Kos Began
Broadway was founded in 1990 by Kostas Papakonstantinou the father of the family, a Kos-born chef who spent two decades cooking in some of Manhattan's most respected Greek restaurants. Returning to his island in the late 1980s, he brought with him a distinct culinary philosophy: respect the ingredients, honor Greek tradition, and never be afraid to evolve.
His restaurant quickly became a landmark of the Kos dining scene — one of the first to introduce a modern, internationally influenced approach to Greek island cuisine.

The Second Generation: Chef Yiannis Papakonstantinou
Since 2012, Broadway's kitchen has been led by Yiannis Papakonstantinou — the family's second-generation chef and one of the most awarded culinary figures to emerge from the Greek islands.
Yiannis trained at Chef d'Oeuvre in Athens, graduating top of his class, before going on to work in acclaimed Restaurants and Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe and New York. He returned to Kos with a deep command of modern gastronomy and a clear creative vision.
Under his leadership, Broadway has earned **10 national culinary distinctions** — more than any other restaurant in Kos — including consecutive awards from Athinorama, Greece's most influential restaurant guide, and FNL Best Restaurant Awards.
His cooking is contemporary and precise, yet honest and grounded. Seasonal ingredients from Kos and the Aegean, true Mediterranean flavors, and a genuine connection to Greek culinary heritage define his creative approach.

Local First: Supporting the Producers of Kos
As a family-run restaurant on a Greek island, we have always believed that a restaurant should be part of the community it serves — not separate from it.
That is why Broadway was one of the first restaurants in Kos to actively support the
"Kos Locally Grown" initiative, building long-term relationships with local farmers and celebrating the island's produce long before farm-to-table became a global trend.
When you dine at Broadway, the vegetables, herbs, fish, and olive oil on your plate have a story — and most of that story begins here, on Kos.

Incredible food and amazing staff! Explained the meals, tended to us and provided a taste of Masticha and explained the history and culture behind it which was a great addition. The chef's are incredibly talented, with such innovative and creative twists on classic meals.

Excellent!!!!!Ate here on several evenings during our ten night holiday as it is quite simply the best restaurant on the island. Food and service are both excellent and the staff at always very helpful when explaining dishes and their ingredients. Can’t wait to go back later this year.
Delicious modern Greek food A find! Surprised to see a restaurant with tables all reserved. We had the last one not booked. Fabulous stuffed mushrooms and the moussaka croquettes followed by lamb shank and burger. Attentive staff and a reasonable bill. Great!
Wow! These guys and girls know how to make your evening great. Very tasty food with just the essentials, but above all very friendly staff. By far the best place in Kos.
If i have to explain how awesome broadway is with a sentence i would tell this: "we have eaten 3 launches in kos and 2 of them was in here..."
Absolutely amazing place.. Wonderful service, superb food and reasonable prices. Highly recommend... If we lived in Kos town we would be regulars for sure!
One of the best restaurants I visited while in Greece for a month. Food was innovative, delicious, and reasonably priced. Staff was amazingly nice and helpful. Mussels were some of the best I've ever had.
