Mykonos has a reputation for glamour over substance when it comes to food — but look past the overpriced tourist menus and you will find some of the most memorable dining in Greece.
M-eating — Fine Dining in Mykonos Town
Tucked into the labyrinthine streets of Chora, M-eating is the island’s most celebrated restaurant. The menu marries classical Greek technique with contemporary presentation — expect octopus carpaccio with citrus, slow-cooked lamb, and exceptional local wines. Book weeks ahead for peak season.
Kiki’s Tavern — The Legendary Lunch
No reservations, no printed menu, no electricity. Everything is cooked over charcoal on a terrace above Agios Sostis beach. The salads are enormous, the grilled meats extraordinary, and the queue starts forming before noon. It is the kind of place that becomes a story you tell for years.
Spilia — Dining in a Sea Cave
Built into the rocks of Kavouri Bay, Spilia is one of the most atmospheric restaurants in the Aegean. Tables are set into a natural cavern with the sea visible just below. The whole grilled fish is the thing to order. Go at sunset for the full effect.
Joanna’s Nikos Place — A Mykonos Institution
Family-run for over 40 years, Joanna’s in Ornos is the kind of Greek taverna that reminds you why you fell in love with the cuisine. The moussaka is made from scratch every morning and the prices are a quarter of what you would pay a few streets over.
Nobu Mykonos — The Splurge
For the occasion that deserves something spectacular, Nobu’s Mykonos outpost delivers. The Japanese-Peruvian menu is as polished as anywhere in the world and the setting in Ornos Bay is stunning. It is expensive — plan accordingly — but it is a meal that matches the island’s ambition.
