1. 3Sixty Grill
$$ | | InternationalIf you tire of homespun tavernas serving up rustic menus in cobbled streets under blooming bougainvillea, 3Sixty is the rather brash grillhouse antidote. Sure, it's decoration is desperate to reassure you just how on trend it is, but after one or two excellent cocktails, you won't even mind the annoying horse photography on the walls. It also has the menu to back it up. Pata negra spareribs melt off the bone, the 150-day-aged rib-eye has flavor to beat the band, and the anthotyros-stuffed ravioli are a delight. Add to that comfortably the best wine list in the town.
Vasileos Alexandrou and Ferreou , Nafplion, Peloponnese, 21100, Greece27520-28068Known For
- Excellent wine list and cocktail menu
- Well-aged, grilled meats unlike anything else in Nafplion
- Stylish setting
-
2. Absinthe
$ | |A relative newcomer to a local dining scene that doesn't change much over the years. This delectable Greek tapas restaurant-bar doesn't have a menu; it just serves what it has left, so don't go too late. The interior is pretty small, so tables mostly dot the pretty side street and across the road. In winter it also shuts early (about 5 pm). The dishes are sumptuous, coming in small (€4) or large (€8) plates, but the former is filling enough, with beans in tomato sauce or a spicy sausage casserole as likely to emerge as a smoked sardine salad. The quality is superb, and great value. Even if you only stop by for glass of tsipouro, you'll get a little taster to go with it. The perfect combination.
Nikolaoi Mama 33, Galaxidi, Central Greece, 33052, Greece22650-41220Known For
- Great value
- A good selection of tsipouros
- Homemade small-plate dishes

3. Aegli
$$ | |Both local and international dishes are on the menu at this long-established and casually elegant restaurant on the Liston arcade. Start with a plate of steamed mussels or a salad, then move on to hearty Greek and Corfiot classics. Spicy bourdetto (fish stewed with hot red pepper) and braised lamb shanks in red wine are usually on the menu. Drinks and sweets are served from midnight to 2 am.
Kapodistriou 23, Corfu Town, Corfu, 49100, Greece26610-31949Known For
- Home-baked sourdough bread
- Pastitsada, Corfu's rich beef stew
- Spectacular view of the Esplanade

4. Aeglí Zappiou
$$ | Syntagma |Visit the elegant Aeglí Zappiou, an excellent spot for a classic Greek coffee experience. Nestled among fountains and flowering trees next to the Zappio Exhibition Hall in the National Garden, it's an ideal spot to sample a fresh dessert or some haute cuisine, or watch a movie at the open-air Cine Aegli next door. Adjacent to this café is the noted Cibus restaurant, which offers a special degustation menu of modern Greek cuisine every Wednesday evening (reservations recommended).
Zappio Megaro, Athens, Attica, 11557, Greece210-336–9300Known For
- Good desserts
- Great coffee
- Views of open-air Cine Aegli next door
-
5. Aleria
$$$ | Metaxourgeio |Restaurants, including this multiple award-winning Michelin-starred gem of Neoclassical design and inventive Mediterranean cuisine, are the reason Metaxourgeio's profile went up. As soon as you arrive in the beautiful garden, lit with fairy lights and scattered with statuettes and other creative decor details, you'll want to stay for hours; the winter dining area indoors is very elegant too, but not as uplifting. Chef Gikas Xenakis's cooking is a serious candidate for notoriety. Currently there are two types of tasting menus, "earth & sea" or "garden & nature," with a choice of four, five, or six dishes. There is also an excellent wine pairing menu available, but if you prefer to choose your own there is a wide-ranging wine list.
Megalou Alexandrou 57, Athens, Attica, 10435, Greece210-522–2633Known For
- Inventive gourmet tasting menus
- Beautiful garden setting
- Fresh Greek ingredients

6. Antica Gelateria di Roma
$ | |Traditional Italian gelato (ice cream), in many flavors and dished up in colorful old surroundings, supplies a tempting excuse for a break. Try the zuppa Inglese (trifle) flavor, with hunks of sweet frozen sponge inside.
Farmakopoulou 3, Nafplion, Peloponnese, 21100, Greece27520-23520Known For
- Traditional gelato
- Plenty of flavors
- Good prices
-
7. Ap’Allou
$ | |With mouthwatering dishes inspired by Asia Minor and Greece, and ingredients from both the land (seasonal vegetables and quality meats) and the sea (fresh shellfish and seafood), this place is a satisfaction-guaranteed stop for lunch or dinner. The menu changes with the season, but luscious desserts, such as the delicious profiteroles and homemade ice cream are a must-try year-round. Whether you visit during the hot months, when white tables with colorful mats are laid out along the pedestrianized Old Town street, or during winter, when tsipouro-sipping locals huddle over loaded platters, Ap’Allou can best be described as cozy, jovial, and a joy (with a gourmet twist) for the tastebuds.
Patriarchi Ioakim 5, Vergina, Central Macedonia, 59132, Greece23310-20199Known For
- Good prices for high-quality food
- Friendly service and familial ambience
- Excellent selection of regional wines
-
8. Avli
$$ | |In an herb-filled multitiered courtyard that leads to a barrel-vaulted dining room, some of the finest food for miles is skillfully prepared. Refined, distinguished dishes are its calling card; sophisticated but true to their traditional roots. Stuffed zucchini flowers are dressed with edible leaves and blooms from the garden, rabbit is paired with sweet tomato and tiny onions, and tender goat, straight from the hillside, is served with honey and herbs. The foams, flicks, and smears that so often blight this level of dining are refreshingly absent. The focus is on the ingredients, the majority of them local and organic, artfully transformed into a cooking of rare sophistication. Resevations are essential in season.
Xanthoudidou 22, Rethymnon, Crete, 74100, Greece28310-26213Known For
- Attentive, yet never overbearing service
- Tasting menus with matched local wines
- Located within a boutique hotel in a former Venetian villa

9. Bassia
$ | |Nestled a couple of kilometers up the coast in the quiet village of Akrotiri, where the breezes offer welcome respite from the humidity back in town, is the best-value dining experience on the island. The raised views here are spectacular, and best enjoyed as the sun melts over the sea. The service can be a little aloof, but the setting is exquisite and the seafood-heavy menu (sea bass, lobster pasta, steamed mussels) is well balanced by more homespun fare, such as the Zakynthian rabbit. Magical.
Akrotiri, Zakynthos, Greece26950-25554Known For
- Incredible views out over the coast
- Good value for the quality of food
- The perfect sunset spot
-
10. Café Avissinia
$$ | Psirri |Facing hoary and merchant-packed Abyssinia Square, this timeworn but exceptional eatery is popular with locals who want home-cooked traditional food with heavy Asia Minor influences and endless servings of the excellent barrel wine and ouzo. Diners love to settle within the elegant glass-and-wood interior to sample mussels and rice pilaf, wine-marinated octopus with pasta, fresh garden salad, or any of the dips. Little wonder so many head here to relax after a day of shopping at the nearby flea market. A newer rooftop addition offers spectacular Acropolis views. Another plus: during the winter months, music is often in the air—on weekend afternoons, you can enjoy live accordion performances sometimes accompanied by the piano.
Kinetou 7, Athens, Attica, 10555, Greece210-321–7047Known For
- Delicious spinach-enriched moussaka and Soutzoukakia
- An air of nostalgia but with style
- Live music on weekend afternoons

11. Corfu Sailing Club Restaurant
$$ | |Everyone—not just sailors—will appreciate the spectacular location of this classy restaurant, tucked under the northern wall of the Venetian-era Old Fortress beside the yacht club harbor. The food is Greek but offers twists on traditional concepts, such as a cheese pie topped with honey, in a dish straight out of ancient times. Dishes from all over Greece include Santorini-style fava dip and a salad featuring local nouboulo ham (made from pork loin in a style similar to prosciutto) and the Greek version of ricotta.
Mandraki, Corfu Town, Corfu, Greece26610-38763Known For
- Wide-ranging wine list
- Excellent seafood combinations
- Location-appropriate Venetian calves liver

12. Daidadi Gelato
$ | |The lifesize black and white cow outside tells you that you have arrived at the best ice cream shop on the island. Made from Syros milk by an Italian ice cream maker, funky flavors exist alongside the classics.
Papagou Square, Ermoupoli, Syros, Greece22810-85953Known For
- Experimental flavors
- High-quality ingredients
- Shaded tables outside
-
13. Dounias
$ | |On a mountain perch above Chania is one of the most singular restaurants in the whole of Crete. A holistic approach is taken---this is farm-to-table eating but ramped up to the nth degree. Your meal is cooked in traditional clay pots that sit over the wood fire, as they have no electricity in the kitchen. Ingredients come from the family farm and they produce everything in-house, organically, of course---only the salt comes from the coast 20 km away. There is no menu, merely what is in season that day, but all tastes are catered for by the friendly staff. It's not fancy, nor is it fast, but it is honest and truly memorable.
Drakona, Chania, Crete, Greece28210-65083Known For
- Drive up through the Therissos Gorge is spectacular
- Old recipes, old methods, new flavors
- Booking recommended

14. En Chatipi
$ | |A ten-minute walk south of the center takes you across the river and into the suburbs, where you'll find this friendly, unselfconsciously retro neighborhood taverna. Inside, jazz music echoes the vintage ad posters for 1950s Greek cigarettes and long-gone liquors, while the menu is a treasure trove of hearty classics, from Spartan dishes like pork with olives and orange, to the lightest of moussakas. It's great value and a peaceful break from the cramped plateia terraces.
Panagioti Chrysikou 27, Sparta, Peloponnese, 23100, Greece27310-26677Known For
- Peaceful shaded terrace
- Friendly neighborhood vibe
- Bargain prices

15. Etrusco
$$$ | |The Botrini family restaurant is considered one of the best in Greece (the Athens branch has a Michelin star), and it certainly can be classed as among the most inventive, offering a menu of Italian- and Greek-inspired dishes. Chef Ettore Botrini demonstrates his flawless technique with a big blast of creativity on the molecular gastronomy front. You know dinner will be a marvel when the amuse bouche arrives, followed by appetizers such as carpaccio of octopus or swordfish, feta cheese "snow" and risotto with turmeric and sea urchin. A main course choice might be a variation of Corfu Tsigarelli (a dish with greens, onions, and tomatoes), or maybe slow-cooked belly pork with Granny Smith apple puree. Rounding out the experience is the cozy and modern decor, with the best tables—often booked solid with chic and wealthy Corfiots—set out in a large and charmingly antique courtyard. Just save your pennies and make your reservations now.
Kato Korakiana, Corfu, 49100, Greece26610-93342Known For
- Elaborate tasting menus with wine pairings
- Homemade pappardelle with duck
- Desserts, including upside-down orange pie

16. Gastrodromio En Olympo
$$ | |Self-taught and ever evolving chef Andreas Gavris creates seasonal delights fit for the gods in his justifiably popular restaurant. Standouts include the melon soup with prawns and mint; bourani, a rich rice dish with nettles, wild mushrooms, and a Gruyère-like cheese from Crete; and black pig of Olympus stew and mountain lamb, cooked with mushroom and wheat puree. People travel from far and wide to enjoy Andreas' creations, which help make the superb location become even more enticing. The wine list has more than 500 labels on offer.
Agios Nikolaou 36, Litochoro, Central Macedonia, 60200, Greece23520-21300Known For
- Tastefully elevated Greek cuisine
- Professional and friendly service
- An extensive wine list
-
17. Hiona Seafood Restaurant
$$ | |A finger of rock stretches into the sea on the edge of Chiona Beach with a handful of blue-check-clothed wooden tables. It's a magical location with kids diving into the clearest water nearby, and fishermen tying up to the jetty to unload a fresh catch. Those fish are grilled with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon for you, along with a menu of traditional Cretan dishes. It's a simple proposition but one that few get as right as here. Choose a local Sitia wine from their list and snooze off the afternoon at the nearby beach.
Chiona Beach, Crete, Greece28430-61228Known For
- Kakavia (fish soup) made to order
- Reservations needed for those waterside tables
- Friendly Cretan service
-
18. Il Borgo
$ | |As is the case with much of Kefalonia, many of its dining gems are found outside of the larger towns. Il Borgo lies in the lee of St. George's Castle, 15 minutes' drive south of Argostoli, and makes for a dramatic pit-stop. Its vine-shaded terrace has easily the best dining views on the island and the food isn't far behind, with homespun pastitsada (one-pot pasta) and lip-smacking youvetsi, slow-cooked lamb leg and orzo, soothing both belly and soul.
Travliata, Kefalonia, Greece26710-69800Known For
- Sweeping views down to the coast
- Amiable service
- A memorable spot at sunset
-
19. Iliovasilema
$$ | |French-trained chef Kostas Bougiouris lends his expertise to this waterside restaurant. Almost on the beach, the setting is elegant and the cooking focuses on seafood and local Syros products, presented in a modern, creative style. The most gourmet of Syros eateries, crisp linen and a sophisticated white design are the backgound to the immaculately plated dishes. Romantic and intimate in atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff ensure that every visit is memorable.
Galissas, Syros, 84100, Greece22810-43325Known For
- Reservations needed
- Superlative sunset dining
- Recipes inspired by the Aegean
-
20. Irida Restaurant
$ | |Fiskardo's harbor is lined with restaurant terraces, but Irida's is the pick of the bunch. Reliably good seafood is the difference-maker, with comforting staples such as shrimp saganaki (in a spicy tomato sauce laced with cheese) supplemented by the odd culinary gem like the sole in champagne sauce. It also runs a rather nice boutique shop around the corner, filled with jewelery, hats, and pretty knitted bags.
Akti Panormou, Fiskardo, Kefalonia, 28085, Greece26740-23803Known For
- Reliably good seafood
- A delightful dining terrace on the waterfront
- Excellent service
