The best restaurants Greece

A tavern with a large traditional room with tiled tablecloths where you are very welcome. À la carte, grills and dishes cooked with fresh products. Cabbage cabbage, mountain sausage and pites (laminated to spinach, cheese or leeks) are particularly tasty.

A traditional tavern, which has existed since 1946 and has its own! The interior is authentic with wooden walls and wooden chairs around the fireplace. But in summer, the shaded terrace is also very pleasant! The restaurant uses only local products. Grilled meats and meats are excellent, but also taste the pites (puff filled with cheese or different vegetables).

A nice restaurant held by a mixed couple (Greek and German) who also owns the Blue Sky rental agency (cars and mountain bikes). They also offer a few rooms for rent.

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.

Friendly outhouse near the island's old port and traditional Greek cuisine tasted and approved by the locals! The fava (creamy split pea purée) is exceptional here, as are marinated anchovies, octopus cooked in wine, sardines, meatballs and the very tasty tyrokafteri (watch out, this is spicy cheese) and many other well-cooked specialities. Excellent mezzés in general and, of course, a fine menu of ouzos and Macedonian wines. In summer, it is served in a courtyard. Lively, it can get very noisy!

With its subdued atmosphere and slightly industrial style, Extravaganza looks more like a bar than a restaurant. And yet, it's probably one of the best addresses in the center of Thessalonica. It serves Greek cuisine revisited using fresh, local produce, and before you experience the explosion of flavours, you'll be impressed by the quality of presentation of the plates: simply worthy of a gourmet restaurant! So it's as good as it is beautiful, and all for a very reasonable price. Friendly, efficient service.

Ideally located, this restaurant overlooks the magnificent harbor of Hydra. As his name indicates, it is a ritual to contemplate the sunset. The food is of good quality, with a very varied menu (the meat from the Peloponnese is a real delight). It's worth a detour, at least for the sight and the frame that won't disappoint you.

An Italian restaurant that makes very good pizzas. Open late, it allows you to enjoy pasta or pasta cooked in the wood, if you arrive at Nafplion at night. An address to remember.

Family restaurant where very good fresh fish is served, but also meat or vegetable dishes. Traditional dessert is usually offered. The staff is very hospitable. It is recommended to book because the place, strong from its reputation, is often crowded.

It is difficult to eat (and sit down) at a table at a very low price at Skiathos, except here. Going up rue Papadamantis from the port, we stray slightly into a less busy alley on the left to land in this small "nameless" shop since 1992. Not great gastronomy but, here, honest and well-made gyros and souvlaki that can be eaten on one of the red, yellow or blue tables. You can also take your sandwich and sit on a bench. Quieter, more pleasant and economical too.

Ideal location, feet in the water. This beach tavern is very pleasant and invites to a lunch break. Parents will be able to watch the children swimming from the corner of their eyes. Perfect for a drink as well. For the record, Christian, one of the owners, is French. He opened the restaurant with Stella, his Greek wife, and the couple has built up a nice reputation on the spot. Stella will guide you in your choices by presenting you her menu (and especially her fish) with sometimes a touch of French influence to discover.

An ideally placed tavern, almost with your feet in the water, where you can enjoy the refreshing sea breeze under the pleasant shady terrace. The owner will propose you a whole list of Cretan specialities according to the season: rabbit with small onions, grilled lamb, meat turnovers, spaghetti with shrimps and seafood, stuffed tomatoes...

This restaurant is located in a small pedestrian street, absolutely quiet and well shaded. One returns there gladly to taste, among other things, fried anchovies, squid, sardine fillets or red mullet and whiting cooked over the fire, fish soup (depending on the arrival)... The dishes and salads are always fresh and the French fries are home-made. Friendly atmosphere. Pleasant service. Very good quality-price ratio. A little more expensive for the price per kilo of fresh fish but it remains affordable for all.

The tiny jetty of Kalamakia is a well kept secret: there are a handful of rooms for rent, and a few fish taverns that are stocked every day by the fishermen's caiques that anchor there. There is also a café, and small stretches of beach where the sea is not very pleasant. It is necessary to come in the evening when the place comes to life in an absolute calm. The three taverns are similar, but Maina has our preference especially for the fish mezzes that accompany the ouzo and the generous portions.

A pizzeria, open all year round, that doesn't look like much but offers quality pizzas and dishes at very affordable prices. The pizzas, with their homemade dough that is both crispy and soft, are creamy, hearty and delicious. You can compose them with the fresh and good quality ingredients of your choice. Spaghetti and rigatonis, with different sauces, but also simple or composed salads are also proposed. Family atmosphere and very friendly staff. Good value for money.

Good Greek cuisine worked for over years in a very pleasant setting of the old Malia: a large wooden house that is open in many flowery terraces. Once a week, the island's traditional dancers and musicians are there. Very beautiful traditional decoration.

Tired of Greek taverns? Treat yourself to an oriental break in this Chinese restaurant. Traditional and very honest Cantonese cuisine. In addition, you are here on the shore, with a large balcony overlooking Ipsos Bay. A magical setting!

The Thessalia Tavern has been offering specialities of traditional Greek cuisine and others inspired by Italian cuisine since it opened its doors in 1978. Also known for its grilled meats and fresh fish, the establishment is a reference for the locals, but the crowds are especially heavy at weekends when customers arrive from Athens. In summer, nothing beats a meal under the large plane trees in its inner courtyard. The house offers advantageous menus for two people, to be ordered with your eyes closed.

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.

Very good restaurant with a very varied menu and rich dishes. The staff were very helpful and helpful. Large terrace, close to the casino and the beach.

Translate the name of the restaurant as "cooking with love". In this tiny place of only a few tables, we choose our dishes in a showcase before they are brought to the table. Sofia, the owner, welcomes us in her restaurant as if we were at home. Traditional family cooking, copious and really delicious. If the place is a bit difficult to find, it is well worth the detour. Don't give up and make the small effort to find it.

Maybe you'll make it your canteen. It's still full, but it's understandable. The mastelo (cheese) is delicious, the Greek salad is copious, and the imam is tasty. The decoration and the location by the sea, under beautiful olive trees, make the tavern unique and warm. You quickly feel welcomed by the staff. You can eat there simply but deliciously, and you can taste good wine next to the wood stove. We feel that the place has retained an authenticity that is rare in the Cyclades and this is also reflected in the prices.

Cockerel, kid and pork are mixed with traditional flavors such as sweet potato, citrus and ginger. No worries for vegetarians who can also enjoy creative and tasty dishes.

To eat, you will find some good options in the port of Adamas. Avoid the restaurants on the waterfront... except this one. This is the oldest fish tavern in Milos. Typical Greek cuisine: expect hearty portions. Meat dishes are also on the menu, as well as the classic mezzedes , but opt instead for fresh fish. Facing the port, you can let yourself go... After all, savouring some of the local specialities with a little local wine by the water is still pleasant.

For a good espresso, morning, noon or evening. Good wifi too.

Its name could be translated as "at the foot of the wall". And for good reason, this pleasant establishment plays touch and go with the old city walls. Overlooking and slightly set back, this very popular tavern is often crowded with locals, which is a good sign. On Sundays, families gather here and children run around the patio. Its colorful walls and beautiful terrace make the place particularly warm. On the food side, try the eggplant salad with feta and olives, or its borek, a pastourma and cheese pastry. Delicious.

Entering Sissi from Heraklion, on the right side is this family restaurant since 1988. Greek and international cuisine at reasonable prices served in a large garden with a fountain and a playground for children. Katarina, the owner's daughter, is French-speaking and will welcome you with a friendly smile. Practical side: the bus station is just in front.

One of the best addresses of Chios is nicely installed in the remains of a historical house in the Kastro district. The atmosphere is perfect, especially in the evening, but beware that tables are scarce and demand is very high in season.

The effort is worth it, beyond the enchanting setting, because the quality is there and the small dishes to share are really tasty, to be accompanied by a local craft beer.

A beautiful tavern by the sea, with a loyal clientele. 200 m from the port, the place is quite enchanting, with its lanterns decorating the courtyard and its beautiful little marble tables (old sewing machines at the base) overlooking the sea.

It should be noted that the establishment also offers 15 economic rooms for rent.

This restaurant is located on the rooftop terrace of the Ammos Hotel: it has the same perfect taste for simplicity and chic. The terrace is open to all, hotel guests or not. It is also possible to come and have a glass of aperitif: the wine list is very successful. For dinner, share several small tasty dishes for which the chef has the key. Here, we find ingredients from Skyros, prepared with creativity. The service is adorable, attentive to the needs of a truly tasty experience, on all levels.

Treat yourself to a sweet break on the sacrosanct Place Square which overlooks the Morosini fountain to taste local pastries: the bougatsa filled with custard cream or fresh cheese topped with sugar and cinnamon. If there are no more open tables, just sit next to the Kipkop terrace.

Stop by this friendly tavern near the waterfront and Sappho Square. The few tables with embroidered tablecloths are very popular with the locals, and have been since 1960.

Patras has some good places to taste Greek specialities. But we have to find them! A trendy bar on the port? Not only that. Stathmos coffee will serve you for dinner, in a lively atmosphere, assortments of gargantuan mezzes, souvlakis and spinach pies. Then you can enjoy burgers or hearty salads if you have already got tired of Greek cuisine. In short, a place frequented by the locals where you can have a coffee or dinner, with the added bonus of a very friendly welcome in English.

On a small beach in Kounoupitsa, the Akrogiala tavern puts your feet in the water! The size of the meal is more relaxing. Not a great choice of dishes, but delicious mezzes and delicious grilled fish await you.

10 minutes from Gavros in the direction of Ano Fellos, this restaurant is famous throughout Andros for its meat and grilled meats. Dimitris Kossis, the original farmer, opened this tavern more than 15 years ago and since then the whole island has been crowding it, despite its location in the open countryside. He continues to raise cows and sheep, from which he makes delicious cheeses and tender, delicious meat. Vegetables are also grown in his vegetable garden. Try the lamb chops, to accompany fried zucchini or a good saganaki.

Over the past 45 years, the Kritikos family has established itself as one of the region's (and even the country's) benchmarks for Aegean seafood restaurants. With several establishments, including this one ideally located by the sea, on the port of Thessalonica, the brand is a guarantee of quality and freshness, with service to match the product. Mussels, fish, scallops: the best products are sublimated in dishes that evolve according to the chef's whims and the seasons. A pure delight (and so much the better, because it's not cheap).

An authentic address appreciated by the inhabitants of Thessaloniki, if we are to believe the crowds that are rushing there! In a setting that resembles a traditional grocery store with period labels, you can taste original Greek dishes with carefully selected local products.

A little off-centre, this restaurant is nevertheless really worth a visit.

Try veal with beer, stuffed mushrooms, pork pasta and yoghurt sauce. The service is warm and the setting impeccable, with a direct view of the sea. A magnificent setting on the sand by the sea, by the port, in summer.

This tavern is the best option in the port to eat fresh fish: the owner is also a fisherman, his caique goes out to sea every day, and swings by the terrace the rest of the time. To enjoy fresh fish without unpleasant surprises, you just have to follow the procedure: choose your fish in the window, ask for it to be weighed so that the price can be confirmed (otherwise it is displayed by the kilo, so it is sometimes difficult to evaluate the final bill). If you are satisfied, all you have to do is wait for your perfectly grilled fish.

A warm welcome and a bucolic and intimate setting... What more could you ask for? The place really deserves to be asked for directions when going up the narrow streets of the port. You arrive in a quiet garden around a well and a superb lemon tree. We eat in an interior courtyard decorated with great elegance. On the table, a tapenade with black olives and toasted bread, already. The chef then offers grilled meats, his pork with plums from the garden or the traditional Skopelos pie.
