Hi everyone, this is the SantoriniDave guide to the best restaurants on Mykonos.
While Mykonos is full of excellent restaurants, in this video
we share with you some of our favorites, in no particular order. Let’s get right into it.
Most of these are in the popular commercial center of Mykonos Town,
and the rest mostly scattered among the island’s many fabulous beaches
where we’ll start. Each restaurant in this video, plus our favorite hotels, beaches, and
beach clubs are all reviewed in greater depth on our website SantoriniDave.com. Let’s have a look.
Nikolas Taverna on a small beach on the south coast between Platis Gialos and Paraga,
is a traditional taverna run by the same family for three generations. It’s an excellent place for
a solid, hearty meal away from the frenetic energy elsewhere on the island. Much of the fish is
caught by the owner, and most of the meat dishes are prepared with meats from the family farm.
Kostantis is in an awesome location on the waterfront of Ornos Beach.
They serve primarily seafood and traditional Greek food,
it’s popular with families, and tables spread from the dining room out into the sand.
Avli tou Thodori is one of the most popular restaurants overlooking one
of Mykonos’ most popular beaches, Platis Gialos. Family-owned Avli tou Thodori
is a catch-all crowd-pleaser with great food and views out over the water.
Fokos Tavern is located on the edge of a meadow in beautiful and uniquely non-commercial Fokos Beach.
The bay here is quiet and secluded, the food is delicious,
and they also sell some of their own handmade ceramics.
Bistrot de Nicolas is a new and charming French-Mediterranean restaurant in Ano Mera.
With beautiful territorial valley views from the sun porch all the way to the sea, chef-owner
Nicholas warmly greets and hosts visitors with great food and an extensive wine list.

meaning prepared with no animal products. With a very unique and creative menu, they combine
traditional Greek flavors with contemporary vegan cuisine in their quiet poolside dining space.
Hippie Fish is on Agios Yoannis, a small beach in the southwest corner of Mykonos. It’s a large,
trendy indoor/outdoor beachfront restaurant and beach club with a thatched roof, sun beds,
and plenty of excellent seafood offerings.
Funky Kitchen is one of the island’s most creative fusion restaurants. The open kitchen is inviting,
and tables spill out onto a romantic patio and secluded outdoor terrace along a tiny street.
The chef is the owner, service is very friendly, and food and presentation are unique and colorful.

in a spacious romantic garden courtyard near to Little Venice. Serving a sophisticated
Greek Mediterranean mix, the bar and dj scene come alive later in the evening.

that’s been open for over 50 years. Offering warm hospitality in elegant surroundings,
Katrin calls itself a French bistro in love with the Cyclades.
Nikos Taverna is a casual, unpretentious restaurant that’s still going strong after
over 40 years. It sits on the corner of a main square, a block from the harbor.
Popular with locals, they serve Greek standards and heaping platters of grilled seafood,
offering excellent quality and value.
Kadena is in the central waterfront of Mykonos Town, near the tiny chapel with
a blue dome. Diners can sit back and watch the people strolling along the promenade,
while enjoying the imaginative menu. Kids are made to feel welcome here
and waiters will insist you save room for the complimentary dessert.
Kounelas is a quaint fish tavern, in the heart of Mykonos Town.
There are tables scattered around a tight alleyway, upstairs both indoors and out,
and in an enchanted garden setting. There’s a busy seafood grill, and friendly vibe.
M-Eating is widely agreed to be one of the very best restaurants on the island.
It’s all white-linen service on an outdoor terrace looking out onto a busy cobbled street,
with soft lighting and attentive service.
Sitting on the wide, sandy and beautiful Elia Beach,
Elia is the only restaurant here. The large, airy and bright dining room
is a stone’s throw from the sea, with fresh seafood and a great grill.
Kiki’s Taverna is a small spot on the north coast’s Agios Sostis Beach.
Overlooking a tiny swimming cove, and shaded by creeping grapevines,
this small, family-run place is famous for large portions and great food away from the crowds.
The secluded shady terrace of Kalosta overlooks the wide stretch of sand
on the north coast’s Panormos Beach. The food is traditional Mediterranean,
and it’s good for a tranquil meal that’s popular with beachgoers.
