The best restaurants Folegandros

This beautiful restaurant located in the hotel of the same name offers a refined and quality Mediterranean cuisine, using local products, all in a hushed and romantic setting. You can also discover a beautiful wine list and admire the panoramic view.

We arrive at this elegant restaurant, on foot, by the trail leading to Agali, or by boat, by the small private pontoon at the bottom of the establishment. On the heights, before arriving at Agios Nikolaos Beach, this hotel boasts an exceptional location and view of the Aegean Sea. The emphasis is on fresh fish and seafood and dishes are succulent. Pasta pasta, lobster or roasted dorads are a treat. Watering a fresh white while watching the sea.

A little set back, in the calm of a pretty indoor garden, Apostolos, the owner, offers fresh fish but also very good mezzes made from seafood. The inner courtyard faces a beautiful painted boat set on a flowerbed. The dishes are well presented on plates that are difficult to finish. Two dishes to recommend: grilled squid (medium!) stuffed with feta cheese and tomatoes and pepper, and boiled salicornia, homemade seaweed served with olive oil from the Peloponnese and half a lemon from the garden.

Chic, To Sik in Greek, is a restaurant that combines traditional Mediterranean and Cycladic cuisine with influences from oriental or European gastronomy. There is everything from meat or vegetarian dishes, and even gluten-free. In the kitchen we try to use as much local produce as possible: most of the vegetables come from the garden. White and green, the tavern matches perfectly with the colours of the trees that embellish the village square where we dine. The quality of the service makes us recommend the place.

The restaurant has been enlarged in a large flowered garden which is a delight for cats. Anthy and Alkiviadis, the owners, share the tasks to guarantee an impeccable service for the lady and an enchanting setting for the gentleman. Two dishes stand out, the bar ceviche with dill and tomato served with pita bread and the moussaka whose presentation is unique and original: the eggplant is cut in half, the beef stuffed and the béchamel poured on top, all surrounded by... homemade chips that add the missing touch of salt to the masterpiece.

Despite its location on the harbor, this is an excellent restaurant, perhaps even one of the best on the island: authentic, very good, fresh, local and with reasonable prices. The service is efficient, in the shade facing the harbor. The tables overlook the beautiful beach of the port and the fish is very good. Ideal if you are waiting for a boat, but also if you are looking for a place to have lunch or dinner on the island. Open for breakfast, it is also a good option to eat when arriving after a long trip or just to have a coffee during the day.
