Perched above Agkali Beach with stunning views, this is the fish taverna you have been daydreaming of, with wooden chairs, paper tablecloths, and sea breezes to keep you cool. Super homemade food, moderate prices, and friendly service make this a must-visit on the island.
A walk up from the harbor, tucked underneath the Old Town walls, Osteria offers authentic Italian dishes served up in a cute little courtyard. A taste of Umbria, with Naxian diversions, includes interesting variations on classic flavors and this is much better than the faux-Italian dishes on other menus. The young staff bristle with energy and enthusiasm, rightly proud of their island outpost.
Remvi means a dreamy, relaxed mood and it is the perfect name for this cute little café in the village of Trypiti. On the village square with a terrace looking over Milos Bay, this is the place to daydream over a healthy breakfast.
On the corner at the end of Agios Fokas beach, San to Alati—"like salt"—looks over the water and seven different islands are visible on a clear day from this whitewashed little taverna. The menu is wrapped in a fairy tale book cover and magic continues in the kitchen as the gifts of the sea are transformed into crowd pleasing local cuisine with modern touches and super presentation. For once, the desserts and wine choice are not an afterthought.
Giorgos Vidalis's café and restaurant occupies a sophisticated and well-preserved neoclassical building on a pedestrian-only street. Select from international- and Mediterranean-influenced dishes, to be enjoyed daytime on the upper terraces that overlook the Turkish fountain and the passing scene. At night, it's interior is an ambient blend of pastel colors, elegant furnishings, and marble-topped tables. Try the Symposium salad, a delightful mix of French lettuce, avocado, grilled shrimp, and citrus vinaigrette. Main dishes include the sole fillet with parsley and basmati rice, and the Tinian veal fillet with peppercorns and roasted vegetables. The Greek wine list is impressive.
The queues that sneak around the block tell you who cooks the best fish in Tinos. At the far east of the harbor—Tarsanas means boatyard—a stylish wood interior and two outside areas are the setting for distinctive dishes prepared with the finest ingredients. The menu is based on fresh produce with respect to the traditional Tinian kitchen, and all the dishes are served in smaller sampling portions, with correspondingly small prices—all the better to do more sampling!
Tradition counts for everything at this family-run taverna. Like his parents who ran Klarinos before him, Andreas Ragoussis only uses homegrown vegetables and local meat in his dishes. Up the stairs, on the square, it has been here for years and rightly so.
They don't make them like this anymore. A handful of tables sit under lilac bushes outside this grocery store/café/mezzotaverna in the mountain village of Myrsini. The menu is scribbled into a school exercise book by hand and froutalia, the rich island omelette always features. Like stepping back into the 1950s, villagers come and go into the shop piled high with tins and packets, soap powder, and toothpaste.
A jetty juts out into the sea and is a memorable setting for lunch, while on calm nights the moon playing off the water makes this quiet outpost on the southern end of the island one of the most romantic spots around. By day it's not unusual to see fish being hauled into the kitchen fresh from the docks. Lobster spaghetti, a quick meal fishermen used to prepare in their boats, is the speciality, and the fresh catch kept on ice is nicely grilled and served with generous salads.
Located in the central market, To Kastri is run by the Women’s Union of Syros, a group of 28 women who cook 10 dishes a day—home cooking so good that local housewives secretly buy food for their midday meals here. Open all year, this cafeteria often sells out by early afternoon.
On a small alley off the Panagias road is a brightly decorated eatery, run by the even more brightly decorated Eleni, that dates back to 1812. Once a wineshop-cum-hangout for artists and writers, it now serves the most memorable of classic Tinian dishes in a homely environment. Alleyway tables groan under the hearty dishes served with flair and passion—it is home-style cooking that reminds the Greek clientele of their childhood days.
Abutting the Sanctuary of Poseidon and facing the sea, this multi-level taverna offers traditional Greek taverna fare. Open all day, a stone's throw from the beach, and away from the wind that blights much of Tinos, the art of the grill is key here. Local meats and homegrown vegetables feature and fresh fish is available, depending on the weather.
