Traditional agricultural products are olive oil, thyme honey, currants, and wine, which can be purchased at road-side stalls or in the villages.
Zakynthos is a growing tourist island, and hence amongst traditional Greek fare one will find Anglicized cuisine. In Laganas, travellers would be more hard-pressed to find baklava than an English-fry up, but there are some very good places to eat Greek cuisine, and at very reasonable prices.
In particular, Mermaids in the resort of Kalamaki serves a good variety of Greek and international cuisine.
If in the Northern part of the island, towards Alikes, do try The Clear Horizon at Amoudi-- these apartments are served by a restaurant with a friendly owner who serves traditional Greek fare-- baklavas, stifado, briam -- at very reasonable prices in large portions, with an unrivaled view of the Ionian sea and Kefalonia rising from the mist in the background.
Way off the beaten path "Galini" in Vassilikos south east of Zante town is a traditional family-run place sprawled in the middle of the large estate where they grow their own food. Scenic ivy-clad terrace seating, rabbits running free, a children's playground and views out to sea are some of the things that will fail to distract you from the hearty traditional food served here. Island specialty "Kleftiko" is a must.
