The best restaurants Mykonos

This very trendy restaurant is well hidden in a sumptuous garden, behind the main street. The immaculate tables are organized around a central bar where you can come to a sharp cocktail without necessarily staying for dinner. On the menu, the star comes back to fish dishes, elegantly cooked according to arrival. Red meat lovers will not be left with some really successful proposals. The whole is very beautiful people, in the right line of what you imagine when you think of the Mykonos jet set.

This traditional tavern is one of the best addresses in Chora. Still little visited by tourists, it is a very pleasant establishment, far from the usual "bling-bling", and still largely faithful to its origins. We eat a delicious homemade cuisine, generous and typical of the island: tomato dumplings, snails, aromatic lamb. Portraits of Mykoniotes decorate the walls, a rustic and successful decoration.

The Nammos is the most famous and certainly the most select beach restaurant on the south coast. You come here as a connoisseur for its refined menu, centred on fish dishes that are fresher than fresh, its impeccable professional service and the bohemian jet set, or hippie chic atmosphere that appeals so much to the stars on holiday. Who knows? Maybe you'll come across some here in season? I hear it's their favourite destination. It's not cheap, that's for sure. At least the beach bar also serves (slightly) cheaper snacks.

When Australians Victoria and Robert got married in Mykonos about 20 years ago, they didn't know they would end up leaving their country to settle on the island. In 2017, they opened this trendy café-restaurant. Here, healthy eating is in the air: they eat organic, vegan and gluten-free. Well, not exclusively, but vegans and gluten intolerants will be delighted to see the wide choice available from all the large full bowls on offer. Perfect for a fresh lunch, breakfast or a healthy break during the day.

This pleasant restaurant succeeds in being both elegant and simple: no madness of grandeur here but an authentic and modern setting. On the square of the old post office, we come to taste the classics of Greek cuisine revisited in a contemporary sauce. You will appreciate its pleasant location. A quiet courtyard, pastel tables and fresh ingredients for an excellent meal. You can also elbow down at the bar to have delicious cocktails, a little trendier.

In taking over the historic tavern run by his father, Thanassis Kousathanas decided to continue the tradition of excellence in cuisine while renovating the style of the restaurant. Today, it is an ideal combination of contemporary, sober and elegant decor and a cuisine that is as tasty as ever, featuring local products such as the famous seafood pasta and its famous stuffed chicken. The pasta is fresh and homemade and the staff is very kind. It is a must at Platys Gialos.

Baos Restaurant is the gourmet restaurant of the Myconian Korali hotel in Mykonos. The room is surrounded by picture windows offering a pleasant view of the Aegean Sea. You'll discover Greek cuisine featuring seafood and seasonal ingredients from the hotel's own farm. Fresh sushi is also served, along with excellent wines from the cellar.

You may come across this tavern by chance when you get lost in the laces of the city around Little Venice. But the surprise is excellent. Widely frequented by locals (always a good sign), this establishment is worth a detour for its choice of seafood... not necessarily à la carte. Ask for the catch of the day and let yourself be tempted. Otherwise, it's open all day long for breakfast or a simple coffee and we think it's a good opportunity to meet and talk with locals, out of season at least...

Very well located, this restaurant has the good taste, unlike most of its neighbours, to remain open out of season. Correct prices and the right level of plates and service, sophisticated just right. Excellent octopus in its fava, sausage from Mykonos and keftedes (meatballs) from Maria. We advise you to pick from the mezzes, excellent, rather than take several more expensive and less surprising dishes. The place is also very popular in the morning for its breakfasts (omelettes and fruit yoghurts).

Here you will find quality Greek cuisine and excellent value for money on a pleasant terrace in the square of Ano Mera. To be recommended with your eyes closed. In high and low season alike, this ouzerie is a delight. On the square, facing the monastery, you can enjoy a nice selection of homemade dishes, in the sun on the terrace or in the shade in its small room. On the menu: cinnamon chicken, meatballs with mint, vegetable croquettes, fresh squid and homemade fries (quite rare here in Mykonos, to be underlined!).

Original, simple and tasty Italian cuisine offered on a shaded terrace. The managers are two Italians and a Greek who speaks French (Maria). The atmosphere is very friendly and lively, and the locals come here regularly. Free wireless internet (during the day). Parking provided. Purchase of handmade ceramics on site. If you are in Mykonos at the end of October, the pasta and music festival takes place there for two days. Take-away food and a hearty breakfast that you can have on your way to the beaches in the south-east of the island. Nice address.

This is the ideal place for candlelight dinners in a palm garden - unique on the island. The dream, also because meals are served on large tables placed in isolated corners of the garden to preserve the privacy of each. Special mention for the chef de cuisine who creates fabulous dishes with Mediterranean and Greek flavours. The service is just as exceptional. Don't leave the island without coming here one evening.

The hotel restaurant of the same name. Warmly recommended. It is open every evening for dinner. Reservations strongly recommended.
