Dametra Cafe is a casual Mediterranean restaurant. Here, diners can expect high-quality healthy food delivered quickly in a relaxed atmosphere. The decor and styling of the dining room is distinctly Greek, specifically like one of the many coastal cities that the country is known for. Between that and the hearty portions and prompt service, Dametra Cafe sits nicely between an upscale restaurant and quick-service places.Dametra's Cafe features primarily Greek cuisine, with some Italian and Spanish thrown in for good measure. Appetizers include hummus with pita bread, fried calamari, grilled jumbo prawns and steamed mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce. The meals are split between sandwiches, pasta and entrée offerings and features dishes such as shrimp and crab ravioli, a salmon burger with red onion and tomatoes, lamb shish kebab and a Greek style lamb shank with rice pilaf and fresh vegetables.

    Wonderful as usual. Large food portions represent very good value. Fun and lively place. Return to Carmel frequently and always book this place for dinner. Reservations are recommended as the restaurant is usually full for weekends and holidays

    Amazing spot in the picturesque town of Carmel-by-the sea. Mediterranean in all its glory hitting all the right spots. It's small like all the really nice restaurants in Carmel so make sure you make a reservation. Service is amazing once you're in with high attention to detail and they will even craft a plate for you if you'd like something not quite the same as the menu. Please go there if you're in Carmel.

    Poorly elaborated and tasting food all the way. It’s hard to get hummus and pita bread wrong. This restaurant managed it.

    The atmosphere is wonderful. The staff are all very very nice. I’ve eaten there 3-4 times and this last time the food was disappointing. Not up to their usual really good food. Unfortunate.
