The best restaurants Sifnos

You should know that this tavern exists, hidden in the hotel. It is a traditional restaurant, once run by Stamatis' parents. Today, the latter provides the service while his wife Zampeta prepares the dishes. On the menu, particularly successful, we had: caper salad with onions, chickpea soup, rooster in wine and lamb in the oven. Organic vegetables are grown in family fields. They also raise their rabbits, lambs, chickens, sheep and pigs. Homemade desserts are delicious.

This restaurant at the entrance to Apollonia offers its customers typical Greek dishes, grilled meats and pizzas. While the menu is extensive, the products are fresh, of good quality and the service is authentic, as is the tavern's almost kitsch interior decoration. If you come here, it's not just for the traditional, home-style cuisine, it's also and above all for the exceptional view from the terrace and garden of beautiful Sifnos under the vine-covered arbour, with a small glass of house wine in hand.

Trust the Sifniotes: here's the best traditional taverna on Sifnos, with its feet in the water, its chairs planted in the sand, and its people lounging in the shade of the tamarisk trees on Vathi beach. Here you'll find all the classic dishes of Greek tavernas, but prepared here with the finest produce and respect for ancient recipes. The family also owns a farm above the restaurant, in the mountains, from which they produce - rarely seen - their excellent meat and three types of 100% Sifniote goat's cheese.

A gastro establishment that offers a contemporary interpretation of the different cuisines around the Mediterranean... with a hint of Thai influence. Diversified and sunny, the menu changes regularly according to the fresh products available. Vegetarians will be particularly pleased with the proposed menu, which features legumes, cereals and fresh vegetables. The chef likes organic ingredients and vegetables. The products come from the island or region, as much as possible, and the wine list is interesting.

Since 1958 and three generations ago, Simos has been the place to come for fresh fish caught every morning in the waters around the island. The à la carte menu includes fresh squid from September to June. The waiters are friendly and give good recommendations. Some meats are local and come from the family farm. Mastelo and chickpea soup are other Sifnos specialties. The good news is that prices here have remained reasonable despite inflation.
