Whether you’re looking to get swept up in the island’s hedonistic party scene or simply want a relaxing meal, Mykonos has something for every palate and taste. You can find local traditional taverns, fusion restaurants and fine dining establishments with breathtaking views across the sea.
Make sure to sample some Greek wines – they’re criminally underrated!
Solymar
The Solymar is a resort hotel with two pools surrounded by palm trees and wooden sun loungers overlooking the sea. It has a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as snacks. There is also a beach bar where you can get a range of drinks. The hotel also has a tennis court and a massage hut on the beach.
The restaurant at the Solymar is called “La Isla”. It offers a buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are a variety of dishes to choose from, including seafood and meats. The buffet also has salads and vegetables, breads, cheeses, pastries, eggs and pancakes. The hotel is also known for its cocktails and serves a wide range of drinks. Some of the most popular drinks include the White Sangria and the Kamikaze shooter.
Solymar has 17 rooms with a beautiful view of the sea. The rooms are located in the main tower of the hotel, which is directly in front of the beach and makes it a favorite choice for guests. The restaurant, bar and pool are all just steps from the room, which makes it easy to enjoy a beautiful ocean view.
Solymar is located on the coast of Ciudad de la Costa in the Canelones Department of Uruguay. It borders the beaches of Rio de la Plata, El Bosque and Lomas de Solymar. The origin of the name is unclear, but it may be related to Hungarian solymasz (meaning falconer). The village was a home to many royal falconers until World War II, when it was evacuated by the Nazis and its residents sent to Germany.
Remezzo
A sophisticated, world-class Greek restaurant in the heart of Mykonos town. Chef Ioannis Parikos serves up dishes like 12-hour lamb with celeriac puree and couscous, or the decadently delicious Krama mushrooms (a mushroom ragout with poached egg, potato cream and truffles). The menu is extensive and the prices are steep, but the ambiance and high-quality ingredients make it worth the splurge.
A Paola Navone-designed restaurant that’s the go-to spot for Mykonos’ fashionable set. Diners sit in a large courtyard lined with cacti and surrounded by white stone, and the food offers a creative Asian twist on classic Mediterranean dishes like beef tataki and ceviche.
Indulge in some of the best seafood in Mykonos at this upscale, cliff-top haunt. It’s the place to go for perfectly seared seafood and locally sourced meat, plus handmade pastas scented with Aegean herbs. It’s also a beautiful setting for an intimate meal or celebratory occasion.
If you’re bringing a group of people, it’s best to order several different appetizers or dishes to share – called meze in Greece – along with your drinks. This is a great way to try many different types of dishes and share them with the table, and it’s especially fun when you get to sample traditional Greek recipes that can’t be found in any restaurant outside of Mykonos. This is an authentic dining experience that will leave you with a full belly and happy memories.
Interni
The Wild by Interni is a beautiful and unique venue that offers a memorable dining experience. It was designed by renowned designer Paola Navone and masterfully executed by owner Nikos Varveris. Its creative menu is inspired by the Mediterranean cuisine but is infused with a fresh twist from the top chef Thanasis Kakaras. The food is beautifully presented and accompanied by music from the latest dancefloor hits to the classic feel-good songs. The crowd is an eclectic mix of international and local guests, which adds to the magic of the night.
The hotel is a true gem that is hidden away on the far side of the island away from the madness and noise of the town and has its own private beach and amazing views. Its staff are really kind and helpful, they make you feel like home. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the rooms are really beautiful with organic details and nice colours. Its the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Mykonos has long attracted hippies, artists and bon vivants looking for peace and enlightenment. The azure seas, picture-perfect villages and picture-perfect towns remain the same, but it has also become a hot spot for partygoers and Europe’s jet-set elite. The latest addition to the island’s famed roster of chic destinations is the Wild by Interni. Perched above Kalafatis Beach, this swanky new property features 40 suites and villas with Greek decor, a private beach that’s only accessible by a narrow stone staircase and a restaurant that revisits the best of Greek cuisine.
This new Mykonos hotspot is a fusion of fabulous drinks, amazing food, and fantastic music that celebrates everything that makes the island legendary. It’s the perfect place to celebrate the end of the day with a glass of wine or a freshly-made cocktail, before you head out to enjoy a spectacular voguish Zorba performance and fireworks under dazzling stars.
Pasta Fresca Barkia
Located in the heart of “the chora”, since 1978, this three storey traditional Italian restaurant covers all tastes. The secret recipes of its owner are passed on from generations, allowing guests to taste authentic homemade pasta dishes and pizzas. Some of the most popular dishes include linguini with crab meat, stuffed ravioli and tortel- lacci.
The unassuming Leonidas in Chora is one of the island’s best places to eat gyro. Aside from being affordable, the restaurant offers a variety of options that can be enjoyed with a side of fresh salad and tangy tzatziki. It’s so popular that the place is often full of hordes of hungry tourists looking to get their fix.
Another taverna in the heart of Chora, Niko’s is packed with diners who love to eat and drink in the sun. Couples, families and groups of friends all flock to this small taverna that spills out onto the cobbled pavement and into a square. The menu includes classics like grilled pork skewers and octopus with orzo pasta, all of which are prepared from the fish caught that day.
Among the most famous restaurants in Mykonos, Kiki’s has gained a worldwide reputation thanks to its smoky chargrilled skewers and boozy sangria. The taverna also serves up some of the best vegetarian food on the island, with a range of salads and hummus dishes available.
Catari is a canary-yellow trattoria that’s perfect for those who want to eat authentic Italian food. It’s an old-school eatery with tables outside along the walkway and a smaller first floor, along with one balcony table. Its menu features classic Italian dishes with a twist – try orange-marinated octopus or black truffle tagliatelle. The staff is helpful in pointing out which dishes are gluten-free, and their burrata over fresh cherry tomatoes is mind-blowing.
Bistrot de Nicolas
Located in the heart of the medieval town of Tremolat, this charming bistrot features a warm welcome and amazing food. Owner Nicolas has spent over a decade traveling across France, collaborating with the leading restaurants in contemporary French cuisine and exploring the intricacies of what’s known as “nouvelle cuisine.” After this extensive experience, he came home to Mykonos and realized two things: 1. that he wanted to be closer to his family and 2. that he wanted to create a place where people could enjoy creative culinary innovation.
With a menu that changes with the seasons, Bistrot de Nicolas is a great place to try authentic French comfort food without having to book three months in advance. The restaurant offers excellent handmade pates, sausages, and terrines as appetizers, before moving onto roasts, and a range of Gallic pleasures dating back to the Middle Ages. Expect dishes like langoustine quenelles and ris de veau (veal sweetbreads) in a coulis of capers, onions, and tomatoes. The restaurant is a great place to sample a bottle of wine as well, with an impressive selection to choose from.
The restaurant offers a variety of wines by the glass, including many local vintages and organic wineries. Its prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. There is a nice outdoor seating area where you can sit and relax during your visit. The atmosphere is cosy and intimate, perfect for a romantic evening with your loved one. You can also order food from the restaurant to take away if you’d prefer. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner. It’s also a good option for group bookings. You can easily reserve a table online.
