Alongside the infinity pool at the Bill and Coo Hotel, complete with shining stars that twinkle from the bottom, is served some of the finest food in Mykonos. A futuristic glass box or the outdoor terrace on balmier nights is the setting, for a master class in modern Mediterranean cooking. The ingredients are, of course, sublime but the seemingly unusual flavor combinations are applied to whimsical and off-beat presentations. Asian influences abound along with elements of molecular gastronomy but the cooking remains true to its island setting. It is cooking as theater—dramatic, emotional, and memorable.
Tucked in a quiet corner of Mykonos Town, on a picturesque whitewashed street lined with bougainvillea, you’ll find talented chef Pavlos Grivas at work in his modern, open kitchen perfecting his innovative Mediterranean fusion dishes. Starters delight, reflecting the traditional products of Mykonos, including a uniquely flavorful panna cotta with kopanisti cheese, dried figs, and Greek prosciutto. The main dishes range from seafood, vegetarian, and meat dishes to gluten-free choices. Try the seared Mediterranean tuna and smoky aubergine mousse with lemon dressing. Finish with desserts that elegantly surprise, such as a peach crême brulée with house-made mint ice cream. Creative cocktails and excellent service round out the experience.
Descend into the rustic interior of this bakery and you will feel like you have stepped back in time; Gioras dates back to the 18th century and is the oldest working wood-fired bakery in the Cyclades. Take a couple of pies for the beach, or sit with a coffee and a slice of baklava and breathe in the history.
A century old building on a tiny cobbled street hosts white linen tables on a candle-lit veranda. Chef and owner Panagiotis Menardos has worked in top kitchens across the Mediterranean, gathering techniques and ingredients to produce artful, contemporary interpretations of local dishes using the best produce from small suppliers. Comforting, sometimes surprising but always interesting and charming, M-eating is regularly regarded as one of the finest restaurants on the island.
On the road to the windmills, this is the prettiest place to relax over breakfast. Under a bougainvillea shade, healthy plates of yogurt, muesli, and fruits are perfect pick-me-ups to start the day.
This long-established fresh-fish taverna is where many fishermen themselves come for solid, no-frills food. There are a handful of meat dishes but the best choice is the catch of the day—you can pick your own fish—and ask for it to be simply grilled. The menu depends on the weather—high winds means not many fish. Even in simple places such as Kounelas, fresh fish can be expensive.
Hidden away in the Dilou quarter, this is one of the most reputable restaurants on the island, featuring the best of both French and Greek cuisine, which makes it well worth the search to find it. Once you're here you'll see a handful of linen-laden tables sit under a canopy of brilliant bougainvillea in an iconic Mykonos photo pose, while the lovely whitewashed candle-lit interior features Cycladic arches and a faded 16th-century tapestry from Constantinople. It is very elegant, very sophisticated and very expensive but the fine food and excellent, hospitable service keep people coming.
At one of the best seafront locations on the island, with Little Venice on one side and the windmills on the other, farm-to-table Mediterranean cuisine is the scene stealer. The menu is plentiful, with diverse choices, but the philosophy is simple—the best organic ingredients from Greek producers cooked simply and with respect. Greek craft beers are well represented as are local wines on the drinks list. While the sea view is very Mykonos, the restaurant's overall design and concept is infused with 1950s Hollywood icons, thanks to the influence of one of the owners, a former LA restaurateur.
Food fashions come and go in Mykonos, but one thing that never goes out of style is souvlaki. Get the cleanest, tastiest in town at Pepper—tiny, with just a few tables outside, this is the answer to all your street-food needs.
If the wind is up, the waves sing at this magical and lively spot, set on a far tip of land below the famous windmills of Mykonos. The preferred place for Greek shipowners, Sea Satin Market's fine seafood dishes are enjoyed on a beautiful seaside terrace, and even onto the sand of the beach bordering Little Venice. When it comes to fish, prices vary according to weight. Shellfish is a specialty, and everything is beautifully presented.
