About The Peligoni Club

The Peligoni Club is a family-run members club on the beautiful island of Zakynthos, Greece. With four unique restaurants and a lively weekly programme of events, food and drink play a central role in the guest experience.

Our restaurants include :

• The Terraces - fire-cooked Mediterranean dishes
• Tasi - sea-view breakfasts and relaxed bistro-style lunches

Weekly Courtyard events, live music evenings, guest chef dinners and private celebrations complete a vibrant schedule that requires confident, organised and personable hosts.

• Build friendly, genuine relationships with guests throughout their stay.
• Talk confidently about the club’s facilities, weekly programme and dining options.
• Maintain clear communication between restaurants, kitchen and bar teams.
• Ensure all dining areas remain well presented, organised and guest‑ready.
• Uphold exceptional service standards at all times.
