The best restaurants Cyclades

An ideal location on one of Anafi's prettiest beaches and a veranda that offers a unique view of the Aegean Sea. In 1984 it started as a traditional café, but after several requests from customers, it continued to operate as a café-restaurant. This establishment is famous for its homemade pasta and excellent meats. Every day they use organic flour to make their fresh bread and fresh eggs from their hens for their pasta. In the morning you can have breakfast with freshly baked bread. To try!

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.

This hut located on the beach is not lacking in charm. If you want to sunbathe while sipping a cocktail and contemplating the island of Naxos, you can rent a deckchair and its parasol. If you want to have a bite to eat, it happens in the restaurant. The decoration is made of wicker, the lights are carefully subdued in the evening, you feel good. On the menu? Pork shank with potatoes, sardines or mussels in ouzo with cherry tomatoes, fresh cream and gentian. Some rooms are available with sea or mountain view.

One of the island's sure values when it comes to grilling. Mostly frequented by Greeks, this tavern has a very nice terrace with a beautiful view of the port of Korissia. The establishment, run by the family of the same name, is normally open out of season, but only at weekends for the locals. Otherwise, you will enjoy a classic and quite typical restaurant with a very nice view of the port. Food is simple and tasty and quite copious (as usual, remember to share the dishes!). Very good value for money.

We are about to reveal one of our favorite addresses. The Thalassamou restaurant is located at the end of the beach, where it enjoys a royal isolation. We sit on the terrace or under the trees, with our feet in the water. The spot is charming but simple, you feel good. Marios Salmatanis, who revisits the local cuisine after training in France, serves incredible tarama, eggplant caviar, fava, sardines and guacamole, bruschetta, mussels with garlic and white wine, squid cooked in its ink... Everything is to die for. And it's not expensive at all!-

This beach restaurant opened in 1964 for bird hunters and is still run by the same family. It is typically the kind of beachside restaurant one would want to find on vacation. You dine with your feet in the sand and the food, although simple, is of excellent quality and prepared only with products from Paros. Don't forget to ask for the grilled fish, absolutely delicious. And the fava, beet and bread spreads are not to be outdone. Finally, not to spoil anything, the prices had the good taste to remain very low.

Like the hotel that "hosts" it, this restaurant is worth a stop. A rare initiative to be highlighted: the owners practice agrotourism there. Guaranteed locavorous products, even from the establishment's vegetable garden. On the menu: grilled or dumplings vegetables, meats... You can also stop there for a coffee. Another rarity: cakes are in the spotlight and excellent. A superb terrace above Aigiali with the sound of cicadas. Very nice service with a beautiful local olive oil. We highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.

Located below the central square, this modern tavern with no pretensions to the friendly servers offers Greek dishes, slouvakis, salads, meat, fish, pasta and pizza with wood fire, all in a relaxed atmosphere and at attractive prices. Air conditioned room on the floor and outside balcony with two tables.

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.

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.

A restaurant created in 1996, a mixture of local and international specialities. Greek Mediterranean influence. Outstanding bread made home. Lunch and light meals are served at lunch. An essential dinner on the roof terrace where the 360 ° view is unique. Small boats can be rented with or without a permit for day or day walks.

A little tavern just the way we like it. Here is a simple and pleasant establishment in the street, just before the beach. Margarita - who gives her name to the restaurant - knows the secrets of grilling. She is particularly proud of her hamburger - not too Greek a priori - made from 100% beef. She also makes the perfect moussaka. You'll also find ready-made dishes, stewed vegetables and spit-roasted meat. At the end, they will offer you a piece of soft orange pie.

With fresh, local products, Mediterranean recipes and an originality inspired by ethnic cuisine, the chef makes miracles. The view is an enormous asset for this romantic three-storey restaurant, situated on the pebble. The hotel is perfect for relaxing and relaxing.

A little out of the city centre, the place is worth the trip. Here, on a spacious and pleasant terrace facing the sea, you will certainly not regret your breakfast or lunch at the Paros Nautical Club. All this with an excellent value for money for delicious Greek dishes made with fresh and local products. Without forgetting to enjoy the deckchairs on the "Blue Flag" beach, the beach volleyball and beach tennis courts, before why not take a sailing course in one of the most famous centres in Greece.

This restaurant is run by a French-Greek couple. A magnificent discovery in Syros with beautiful plates, elegant, and a very friendly owner. This café bistro offers mainly French and Mediterranean cuisine to those nostalgic for Provence. In the morning, you can have breakfast (with baguette!) and on weekends, you can come for coffee or a drink in the evening. Light lunch with salads, quiches and sandwiches. A generous and excellent brunch, sprinkled with coffee and freshly squeezed fruit juice.

In a beautiful, closed and flowery courtyard, you will also hear Greek art by tasting dolmadakia, tender artichokes, poulet chicken, honey and red pepper.

Cosy beach bar restaurant. Greek dishes, fish, salads, meat… Sun loungers and parasols offered to guests. Cocktails and evenings.

This restaurant is called "Le Coucher de soleil" and has a lot of charm. He sets up his tables on a paved terrace and a covered area across the street. In a pretty paved courtyard near the beach, this tavern serves a wide variety of fish (the owner and chef, Kostas Bouyiouris, has his own caïques), spaghetti with seafood and small fried fish. It is by far the best establishment in Galissas. Come for an aperitif and dinner to enjoy the sunset.

At the water's edge fried zucchini, octopus risotto, dried mackerel, charcoal octopus or beans with dill... You will find here a lot of delicious things. The grandsons of the famous Pipinos continue to deliver their fresh fish under a shaded veranda on the docks. The father's caique still goes out every day. The fish is served with salads or potatoes. A joy on the plate - even if the portions are sometimes disappointing. The place is an institution and its managers know it.

Even if there is not much choice, you will not come here by chance or out of spite. Here is a real institution on the island, on its eponymous and incidentally most famous beach. In short, everything is good and there are never crowds despite the beauty of the site. Here you will find salads, fish, and cooked dishes, but try especially the kid cooked for ten hours in the oven, a delight that you will preferably savour under the beautiful shaded verandah, taking your time. Very good home-made bread as well as tomato fritters.

A large terrace with a beautiful view of the harbour, traditional Greek live music, and a boss, Apostolis, very friendly that speaks of its island with passion, and serves Greek, Mediterranean, and international cuisine. The location is appreciated by the premises. Don't miss the best saganaki we tasted, the cheese of Naxos.

In a small alley adjacent to Evangelistria Street, this traditional tavern is one of Chora's good dining options. It offers simple and generous cuisine, prepared according to traditional recipes. Special mention to the delicious artichokes and carrots with herbs. Indeed, you will find on the menu a number of dishes based on artichokes (if you come in season) or fennel as well as typical dishes of the island such as rabbit in sauce. Warm atmosphere and no fuss. Good traditional cuisine from the island of Tinos.

This is a small, quaint, family-run tavern, run by the friendly French-speaking Anastasia and her parents. You can eat a simple and delicious traditional cuisine, all with your feet in the water. You won't be disappointed with the trip and this little stopover. Moreover, the service is personal and friendly, and the prices are low. Useful note: if an ingredient is missing, the dish is not served, which is an honest guarantee of freshness. We could direct you between land and sea, but here everything is good, so bon appétit!

A great find, with low prices, off the beaten tourist track. This small tavern simply serves traditional and delicious dishes (salads, stuffed vegetables, stews). Almost all the ingredients (including cheese and sausage) are produced by the owners and you can feel it on your plate. Moreover, the house also sells some local products to all those who would like to stock up. And the welcome, in this flowered space, in the middle of aromatic herbs, adds to the charm of the place!

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.

Chora, because she really lives, offers very good options for eating. This is a place that is well deserved, but how can you regret your trip? On the road to Chora (it's well indicated), you will find here a remarkable menu (don't miss the lamb), but also an elegant restaurant with a breathtaking view of the bay. Be careful, to have a "good" table on the terrace, it is better to arrive early or make a reservation. On windy days, the terrace is closed. You will find your happiness here.

The name of this pleasant tavern means "good appetite" in French. Giorgos prepares good Greek dishes while his wife Sophie, who is French, serves in the dining room and will be able to inform you if you are free between fish dishes, good vegetarian options or classics less known on the map.

This tavern, with its waterfront, offers a wide choice of Greek dishes, but also creative European cuisine. The local ingredients are carefully selected: Tinos and Kythnos cheese, Karditsa sausage... The tables are set up near the sea, on a terrace in the shade of the pines, from which comes its very strange name, cicada in Greek. Iannis, the owner, who worked for several years at Club Med, speaks a little French.

Located on the Vourkari waterfront, overlooking the Aghia Irini peninsula, this fish tavern has a mysterious name: "The Nine Girls". Under this beautiful veranda, you can enjoy tasty mezzes of seafood, fish and grilled meat. Try the caper fava or scallops... A little away from the bustle of Vourkari, on the water's edge, with a pleasant and flowery decoration, it is bordered by trees. Fresh fish, well presented plates. Excellent cuisine and impeccable service. Beautiful wine list, with some organic references.

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.

Restaurant held by the Voudia family for two generations. We love authenticity, both in traditional Greek cuisine, for the atmosphere inside the restaurant or in its small courtyard. The concern for decoration and reception is honourable. As for cooking, you can eat and for good prices!

It is a nice Italian restaurant located on the seafront. There are tastier specialities, such as pasta and pizzas for a very reasonable price/price ratio. The naturally warm temperament of the managers is also directly imported from Italy, making the service pleasant and dynamic.

This family tavern opened in 1995 and yet suffers from a lack of modernity. The hotel has a refined decoration and a… We appreciate fresh products, which turn into a delicious kitchen. And for very good prices, more. The staff knows how to welcome them, whether it concerns the premises or tourists who are sinking in the summer.

By the sea, at the same time an ouzerie, a tavern and a seafood restaurant, at the Mouragio d'Aliki you can fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Mediterranean Greece and ask for more. Family cuisine for thirty years, they go fishing for fish themselves, by boat, every morning. On the best days, there will be lobster that you can choose yourself in the aquarium. In addition, to accompany your ouzo, a wide variety of mezzés is also available à la carte. A very humble address, where the staff is delicate and generous.

This tavern is ideally located in Chorio's kastro, with breathtaking views of the surrounding area and the sea below infinity. The Panorama bears its name! It is located on the glass terrace and the classic Greek kitchen. A little more original: local fish soup, kakavia, which is not available all the time.

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.

This refined Mediterranean restaurant with a discreet French touch is beautifully set on a terrace overlooking a pedestrian street in Parikia. In cooler weather, you can also choose to dine in the sumptuously modern interior, with works of art hanging on the walls. We loved the spicy ceviche, the delicate clam pasta and the puffed chocolate cake, hidden in a cloud of barbapapa! The Porto Carras 2021 white wine also deserves a special mention. An ideal restaurant for a romantic dinner.

Next to the church of Choros, this tavern offers typical dishes and a really tasty home cooking. Definitely one of the most successful restaurants in Andros: Greeks and tourists alike meet here in a somewhat kitschy setting to explore a limited menu, which is always a good sign to taste authentic cuisine. Delicious pasta with local sausages, hand-rolled dolmades and a homemade pita with soft Andros cheese. All masterfully orchestrated by the owner, who pays attention to everything!

A magnificent location with a view of Kanala Bay and even, in good weather, Serifos. In the kitchen, try melofeta, a feta puff pastry fried in ouzo sauce or, for meats, the kid in a crust. Giannis, the master of the place, is in constant care and inexhaustible on his island or his table.

To sum up in a few words: the pleasure of home cooking, with the flavors of gourmet cuisine. This chic little harbor restaurant is fresh and delicious, with an excellent sea bass tartar, but also some grilled meat options. And all this combined with the unique sunset you can enjoy in the evening, as the location is so ideal. But it is also the quality of service and the kindness of the hosts that will keep you coming back. What to end your day as serenely and as deliciously as possible.

An excellent tavern-restaurant serving sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine and excellent quality dishes inspired by local cuisine. The staff is very friendly and the quantities are very reasonable. The atmosphere is informal, everyone is in bathing suits. We recommend this beautiful shaded terrace between the beach and the cliffs of Pori. It is also an ideal place to spend the afternoon. It is sometimes necessary to count a little of wait to eat, but we can wait while enjoying the view. A great place!

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.

Despite all the suspicion that can inspire establishments too close to the landing stage, this "crêperie" is a good surprise. We just add quotation marks because the offer, as often in Greece, goes beyond with burgers or daily dishes (from pasta to carbonara to mushroom risotto, through cheesecakes) very suitable. Ideal especially for breakfast or a snack while waiting for the boat. Also on the menu: scrambled eggs or club sandwiches, and of course pancakes, with excellent service.

An excellent family tavern as we like them and a real hidden gem! Pleasant environment, clean, well maintained, fresh, with a small playground for the little ones and with parking. In a cool courtyard near the beach, you can enjoy a homemade eggplant salad, a traditional filo pastry pie and local meats. The menu is very varied and offers high quality Greek classics. Service is prompt and attentive. The house usually offers sweets and fruit at the end.

More chic atmosphere, excellent service and original flavors. In the pedestrian area of Andros, this modern restaurant is off the beaten track of traditional taverns. The menu is limited and very well thought out, ranging from seafood pasta or shrimp risotto to smoked pork chops with mushrooms and generous salads. The vounisia (a variation of pasta a la carbonara with local ingredients) is interesting. As it is located in the center of Chora, it is advisable to book your table in advance.
