Cyclades

This small restaurant on the road to the monastery is named after the village Dio Horia. Vagelis, the owner, is passionate about his culture, Greek cuisine and Tinos. He becomes animated when he talks about his menu, which he changes every day according to the local and fresh products he finds. You will find travellers and locals alike, proof that the food is authentic and excellent. The view of the sea and the town of Tinos is superb, both day and night.

After spending ten years in France in beautiful houses, 4-star hotels and other Relais & Châteaux with prestigious chefs, Nicolas Pelegrinis decided to return to the country. He has just taken over a nice establishment in Ano Mera where he proposes a very personal cuisine, 90% home-made and with seasonal products. On the menu: atypical dishes for Greece, such as his revisited bouillabaisse or his entrecote with pepper or Bearnaise sauce. All served with a very Greek generosity, in the plate as in the room.

As far as the setting is concerned, the restaurant has a huge terrace spread over two floors. Sea view guaranteed at each plate. The music is extremely well chosen, a mix of jazz and pop in remix chill immediately pushes us to relax and our gaze is quickly lost on the incredible panoramic sea view that the Compass offers on the bay of Chora. View disturbed only by the waltz of the ferries.... which will delight the youngest.

Run by three young people (Nikos, Vagelis and Mariana) who want to give Mykonos a different image by offering farmhouse hospitality with produce from their vegetable garden and wine from their vineyard. The wines are organic in white, red and rosé, pleasant in the mouth, fruity and mineral. Don't hesitate to pair them with a bit of local cheese and honey from the farm. Restaurant open until 4 p.m., to be reserved in season. Bicycle tours available on site and vineyard tours at 2pm and 4pm.

Beautiful view, romantic atmosphere. Breakfast (7 to 15 €), lunch, snack, salads (7 to 17 €), snack (crêpes), drinks and cocktails at sunset. A must!

Considered one of the best fish restaurants on the island, its name recalls the date of the eruption of the Santorini volcano and the creation of Caldeira, in 1500 BC. This magnificent restaurant with an unforgettable view offers mainly fresh fish, washed down with a wide choice of carefully selected Greek wines. It must be said that the perfectly French-speaking owners are great travellers and seasoned gourmets, so there is no doubt about the quality of the food and the service of this magical place.

The location of this restaurant, overlooking the sea and the island of Naxos off the coast, is reason enough to sit down. And to top it all off, the food is as exquisite as the location! Established in Lefkes since 1997, Agnadio specializes in meat, offering spit-roasted meats and exceptional grills. But of course, good meat is not enough to make a good address: here you'll also find excellent fresh local vegetables and Mediterranean dishes, both vegetarian and seafood-based. A real delight!

Don't hesitate to pass the door of this venerable institution in Fira that is Naoussa. First of all, you go there for its spectacular view of the caldera - try to book a good table, you won't regret it - and secondly for its prices which know how to stay wise. The menu features traditional dishes, including excellent stews and keftedes (meatballs) with tomato. We appreciate the pleasant service, which is not necessarily the case elsewhere on this tourist island.

Refined cuisine and breathtaking views... You can have lunch or dinner there, and enjoy the beach at its feet. Like the sophisticated hotel it depends on, this restaurant with gastronomic impulses is also one of the best on the island with notably very good fresh fish to choose from in the kitchen. Without being a guest of the hotel, one can come here for a madness (a lobster) or for a more affordable seafood risotto preceded, for example, by a carpaccio of octopus... And each time, the friendliness of the staff is remarkable.

It's like the tavern sitting on the beach, abandoned. Opened in the 1960s, at the foot of the rocks, this tavern, which remained in its original state, is crowded in summer. Here, the keftedes (meatballs from Kostas) are famous as well as its jugs of local wines. An unmissable address at the end of the beach.

This establishment, attached to a butcher's shop, is an institution. On Sundays, the animals cook here on a spit and intoxicate passers-by. Of course, you have to love meat! But the restaurant also allows you to eat on the go a souvlaki or a gyros to take away.

On the beach of Périvolos near Perissa, this fish and seafood restaurant is a nice surprise. But it cannot be reduced to seafood, moussaka, for example, is delicious. We appreciate the pretty platform with the bar and the swimming pool on the beach, an ideal setting for resting outside the hustle and bustle of Fira. In addition, Edmond the French-speaking boss offers sun loungers to all French people! A good listener...
