Since 1922, three generations of the Roussos family have offered hospitality and fine food in this tiny blue-and-white taverna. Outside tables overlook the caldera, inside murals and paintings are by the owner. Traditional recipes and local ingredients are given room to shine and are presented well by the attentive staff. If you are lucky enough to get a reservation, the cozy atmosphere may well find you chatting with fellow diners who are just as pleased with their choice.

Romantic and rightly popular, Barriello has an enviable position with views of the sea and the Trypiti village square. A 150-year-old mansion has been repurposed to good effect by charismatic owner Takis. Local ingredients, mostly grown on their own farm, are sometimes playfully presented with elements of modern creative Greek cuisine. It's more fine dining than traditional taverna but the tastes are refined and recognisable and it is generally regarded as the best food on the island.
Trypiti, Plaka, Milos, 84800, Greece-6984218360Known For

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.

- Wine pairings are spot on

By Naousa’s charming harbor, with a stunning view of the sea, BlueFish brings a unique fusion of Greek and Japanese seafood cuisine to Paros—and it works divinely. The acclaimed menu is matched only by the sophisticated whitewashed and elegant setting. Appetizers include a delightful sea bass carpaccio and an impressively presented tomato, sea fennel, caper, and basil salad. Eclectic mains include fresh, local sea bass with crispy skin over al dente grilled vegetables, fresh catches-of-the-day prepared in Japanese robata style, and a prawn pasta with a clear traditional Japanese dashi broth. Desserts, including a light a creamy pavlova, are a smooth and sweet ending.

Dining here is on an elevated veranda right above the calm blue waters of Ayios Georgios Bay. The line of drying octopus may be out, evidence of Captain Pipinos pride in serving the freshest seafood on the island. Marcos Pipinos's family boats come in each day with fresh seafood. Try their grilled thornback ray appetizer, marinated in olive oil and lemon, followed by the psarasoupa (fish soup speciality).

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.

Fronted by beautiful Ayios Ioannis Beach, Hippie Fish is one of the liveliest on-the-beach restaurants—an institution since the 1970s, it has continuously updated and moved with the times, but what it will always be famous for is making the big screen as the 1989 setting for the movie Shirley Valentine, about a dissatisfied housewife "finding herself" on Mykonos. Now offering private dining on the beach with the waves underfoot, visitors can recreate their own cinematic experience.

The old open-air cinema, steps away from the main street, has been lovingly reimagined as the island's gastronomic hot spot. A romantic pastel-painted courtyard festooned with greenery fronts the clearest expression of Tinos's outstanding produce, where clever contemporary trends are married to traditional techniques and recipes. Elegant and beautifully plated, dishes are offered by a brother and sister team proud of their island heritage. Every Greek child knows the song "There was a little boat" (Itan ena mikro karavi) and every visitor to Tinos should know its impressive namesake.

A bright and fresh room, wistfully painted with sea creatures and cacti, is the backdrop to this bijou establishment on the main street. Refined Aegean cuisine with jewel-like presentation is the order of the day—this is food that you devour with your eyes first. There is magic in those saucepans, though, as this is five-star cooking. The owners and staff are warm and keen to explain the details of every dish. Kalokeri means summer in Greek and the sunshine shines out of every dish. This is an unmissable and unique place.

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. Fine food and excellent, hospitable service keep people coming, in spite of the prices. Appetizing starters include a fish carpaccio with aromatic herbs in a delightful vinaigrette, and mussels with tomato and basil and prawns in an Hellenic cream sauce. Then move onto a tasty sea bass steak, baked with tomato sauce, or try the chateaubriand with grilled vegetables. Desserts are equally impressive, including a no-bake cheesecake topped with organic raspberries and a perfect creamy chocolate secret-recipe cake. The gourmet dining experiences can be enjoyed at outdoor tables lining the narrow street, while the lovely whitewashed interior features Cycladic arches and a faded 16th-century tapestry from Constantinople.

An old ceramics factory with a jewel of a courtyard—all stone arches and climbing greenery—is the theater set for the most beautiful restaurant in Ermoupoli. With inspiration from around the globe, this is a very modern iteration of Greek food; ceviches and tartares feature, and some dishes are deconstructed to their constituent parts. An all-day brunch menu makes it an atmospheric place to hang out in the day but as dusk falls the romance notches up as gentle music plays, lights twinkle, and the food gets more ambitious.

On a cliffside setting by the brilliantly painted huts of Mandrakia is the island's best fish taverna. The very essence of summer is to be had on the large terrace on the waterfront.

Magic happens in the kitchens of this farm-to-table eatery. A handwritten menu in a school exercise book guides you around the local approach of the Psatha family; if they can't grow it or rear it themselves, they don't sell it. The ingredients in front of you shout of the sun and the earth, all served in a leafy courtyard where geraniums fight for space with herbs for the pot. Quirky touches abound—your bread hangs from the back of your chair in a string bag, and meals are served on handmade terracotta—but it all makes sense in this singular evocation of the islands terroir.
