The 20 Best Restaurants In Mykonos

Pulling up to the port of Mykonos town on the eponymous Greek island, one can’t help but feel a cocktail of emotions. Excitement for what awaits on an island whose fame has spread worldwide. Wonder at its quaint old town and signature windmills. Awe at how this seemingly quiet town (during the day) roars to life as an international party spot come evening. Clubs, bars, shops, restaurants and gyro stands aplenty bring the hordes of party-going travelers to town, but that's not all the island has to offer. With arid landscape that contrasts beautifully with whitewashed houses and blue waters of the Aegean, Mykonos is the perfect spot for a dose of well-deserved R&R.

When it comes to dining on an island as iconic as Mykonos, it can be difficult to know where to start. Our advice? Follow the locals' lead, as we did when compiling this list of the 20 best restaurants.

But remember—no list of places to eat can compare to a custom-built itinerary from Journy. Leave it to the experts to build a daily travel plan from scratch just for you—complete not only with restaurants, but also activities, cafés, bars, transportation, and accommodation.

1. Nammos

Address

Psarou Beach, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Nammos is, without a doubt, one of the trendiest restaurants in Mykonos. Expect crowds of visiting socialites and well-dressed locals for one of the best day-to-night parties on the island.

Nammos contains a formal dining area (serving Italian-Greek fusion), a beautiful lounge, and an outdoor beach club. Start with dinner, a glass (or two) of wine, and then prepare for the music to turn up as this restaurant turns into a beachside club.

Food-wise, you can expect fresh, whole-grilled fish caught daily in the Aegean, sushi, sashimi, and a dizzying array of mezze—from fried zucchini to eggplant mille-feuille with feta cheese mousse.

2. Scorpios Mykonos

Address

Paraga, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

What better way is there to watch the sun set than with a cocktail in hand and live music in the background at Scorpios Mykonos? This lifestyle commune embodies the holistic message of sun worshipping hedonism with a beach club, restaurant, and boutique hotel. Indeed it’s far more than just a restaurant. It’s a self-proclaimed “gathering place” at the intersection of food, music, community, crafts, and more.

A mix of Burning Man and DJ-curated beach club, their summer parties lure some of the best music talent to the island. Spend the early evening hours swaying to the beats, then sit down at one of the communal tables in the open-air restaurant for delicious, sea-to-table Mediterranean fare with organic, locally-sourced ingredients.

Sounds like something you’d like to experience? Trust the experts at Journy to build an itinerary from scratch just for you with all the must-see sights and hidden gems.

3. Bowl Restaurant/Cafe

Address

Ornos 846 00, Greece

Snag breakfast, brunch, or a light lunch at this health-forward café run by Australian husband-and-wife team Victoria and Robert Fisher. The menu features signature "brekkie" bowls and avocado toast inspired by the early morning meal Down Under, in addition to a diverse selection of internationally-inspired dishes that skew Mexican, Greek, Indian, and Thai.

4. Tasos Taverna

Address

Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Tasos has been dishing out classic Greek fare on Paraga Beach since 1962. Seafood is where they shine (diners walk up to the tank to select which fish they'd like to enjoy that night), but there's also a selection of charcoal-grilled meats and other Zakynthos local foods.

5. Nikolas Taverna

Address

Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Nikolas opened the doors of his taverna in 1967 by Paraga Beach, and it has been passed down from generation-to-generation since then. Today, you can find the same classic Greek seafood that it became known for over fifty years ago.

6. Raya Restaurant

7. Alemagou Beach Bar Restaurant

Address

Greece, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Laid-back-bohemian is the atmosphere you'll find at Alemàgou, an all-day beach bar and restaurant in Ftelia. We recommend spending the whole day here, swimming, eating, and enjoying an early aperitivo.

8. Nikkei Mykonos Peruvian Experience Restaurant

Mattheou Andronikou, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Located in the center of town, Nikkei specializes in fusion Peruvian fare prepared using Japanese techniques. With small tables under a charming flowered awning, it's the perfect spot for a laid-back dinner.

9. The Liberty Breakfast Room

Address

the liberty breakfast room, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Although Liberty is an all-day café, breakfast is the most bustling meal at this cozy restaurant with sweeping, pinch-me-this-can't-be-real views of the Aegean sea. Whether you go savory (poached eggs on brown bread with Naxos Gruyère cheese) or sweet (Nutella pancakes, for the win!), you'll be in good hands.

10. Farma Mykonos

Address

Ftelia, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Part-farm, part-restaurant, Farma sources ingredients for its hyper-seasonal menu from the inner garden that surrounds it at Ftelia Bay—one that's speckled with olive groves. The menu of traditional Greek dishes changes daily.

11. Kiki's Taverna

Address

Southern Aegean, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

There's almost always crowds of locals waiting for a table at this popular tavern tucked away on the north side of the island within walking distance from Agios Sostis Beach. While they don't take reservations, the Greek/Mediterranean food is worth the wait—especially the steaks cooked outdoors in a traditional oven.

12. Hippie Fish

Address

Agios Ioannis, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

This funky beach restaurant and bar is the perfect spot for a late lunch that'll lead you right into a dreamy sunset watch over Agios Ioannis Beach. It's not hectic, and it's a great place to relax for the whole day. The menu zeroes in on Greek food, with some international flair in the form of crab, salmon, shrimp, tuna, and veggie maki rolls.

13. Tsaf

Address

Ano Mera 846 00, Greece

This eclectic seafood spot sits at the heart of Ano Mera Village—the second biggest town on Mykonos island that still manages to retain a charming, small-town feel. Lunch on fresh oysters, shrimp, scallops, pasta, and more as you overlook the village square.

14. Kazarma

Address

Akti Kampani (Old Port), Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Kazarma's variety of Italian, Greek, and Mediterranean recipes is not to be missed—think pizza, crispy veggies drizzled with honey, eggplant baked with feta, burgers, and pasta. Bonus points for its laid-back atmosphere.

15. Principote

Panormos Beach,, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Principote in Mykonos is where you want to eat every meal.

16. Kalita Restaurant

Address

N. KALOGERA 31, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Nestled in the inner garden of a boutique hotel that bears the same name, Kalita boasts quality food, a laid-back atmosphere, an eclectic crowd, and fantastic Greek recipes.

Food-wise, don't miss the goat cheese-stuffed angel hair rolls, deep-fried zucchini, and sweet baklava mille-feuille.

17. Appaloosa Bar & Restaurant

Address

Mikonos 846 00, Greece

Mexican and Mykonos may not sound like the most natural combination, but the crowds of locals swarming Appaloosa for a feast of burritos, tacos, and guac say otherwise. There's nothing fancy about it, which is part of its charm. It's cute, simple, and always full of Greek families.

18. La Maison de Katrin

Address

Νικίου, Δρακοπούλου 1, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

For a family-curated mix of Greek and French cuisine, head to La Maison de Katrin. It's on the pricier side (with reservations required), but well worth it for its warm atmosphere and diverse selection of traditional Hellenic and fusion appetizers, fish, seafood, meat, and more.

19. Casa di Giorgio

Address

Mitropoleos 1, Hora 846 00, Greece

You can't go wrong with great pizza, pasta, and risotto at Casa de Giorgio—a chill spot in town for a no-frills Italian dinner at an affordable price. Located in Mykonos town on Mitropoleos Street, it's an ideal location for a post-dinner stroll.

20. Sea Satin Market

Address

Little Venice, Mikonos 846 00, Greece

For a quintessential Greek experience (think smashing plates and throwing flowers), bring the whole gang to Sea Satin for a fun night out that you won't soon forget. The food skews classic Greek, and the dancing starts later at night—so it's best to arrive on the early side if you're dining with kids.
