  • 1. Bill and Coo

    $$$$

    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.

    $$$

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.

  • 3. Gioras Bakery

    $

    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.

Comforting, sometimes surprising but always interesting and charming, M-eating is regularly regarded as one of the finest restaurants on the island.

  • 5. Apaggio

    $$

    Tucked in a quieter corner of Ornos Bay, Apaggio is sparsely decorated and lined with large open windows for a perfect, unobstructed view of the sea. Romantic fairy lights twinkle overhead as you peruse the menu of Greek classics but it is probably wiser to ask about the selection of local fish. Fresh and simply grilled, this is the authentic way to taste the Island.

    Overlooking pretty Platis Gialos Beach, Avli tou Thodori offers beachfront dining in an elegant Cycladic setting. More of a taverna than banging beach bar, the focus is on an eclectic Greek-centered menu and excellent presentation.The name of the restaurant translates to Thodori's yard, a dedication to owner Thanassis Kousathanas's late father, a Mykonian fisherman whose black-and-white portraits are hung with pride.

  • 7. Buddha Bar Beach

    $$$

    Set above the private beach at the exclusive Santa Marina Hotel, Buddha Bar shows off its Greek-island incarnation as part of the renowned upscale chain known for world music, celebrity DJs and chefs, and inspired cocktails. A Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Peruvian-inspired menu may seem out of place in Greece, but the immaculately presented food is popular with the chic and well-heeled crowd who love the boho atmosphere.

  • 10. Kiki's Taverna

    $$

    With no telephone number or signs, this simple little family-run garden taverna would likely be missed if there wasn’t a constant line of people waiting to grab a table—in the summer, expect to wait up to an hour. The sea views of Ayios Sostis Beach are relaxing, and the perfect thing to gaze at as you wait for your meat and fish dishes that will be expertly grilled on a barbecue. The specialty is the pork cutlet but most traditional Greek tavern dishes are served with salads and creamy dips. To find it, head down a few steps toward Ayios Sostis, but before the beach, off the paved walkway, follow the smell of barbecue and look for a line of hungry people.

  • 11. Kounelas

    $$

    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.

    Mykonos Town, Mykonos, 84600, Greece
    22890-28220

    Known For

    • Fresh seafood and meats by the kilo, all grilled outside on a wood grill
    • Cozy, alleyway tables
    • Casual, friendly atmosphere
  • 12. La Maison de Katrin

    $$$$ | Dilou

    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.

  • 13. Nammos

    $$$$

    Legendary Psarou beach restaurant that is the place to go on the island for a healthy dose of excess—superbling, self-conscious, and selfie-central, Nammos is the spot for late lunches next to the sea with the jet set. The eye-poppingly expensive Mediterranean fusion cuisine is good, but it's not really about the food and drink: tables are for dancing on rather than eating at, and champagne is for spraying over your fellow diners, racing-driver style. Depending on your sensibilities, you will either love it or hate it.

    Psarou Beach, Psarou, Mykonos, 84600, Greece
    22890-22440

    Known For

    • Nammos Mall behind—all your favorite luxury labels
    • Fresh sushi
    • Huge bills
  • 14. Nice n Easy

    $$

    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.

  • 16. Sea Satin Market

    $$$$ | Little Venice

    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.
