Best Restaurants in Mykonos (2026)
A concierge-ranked guide to the 24 best restaurants in Mykonos, from Nammos on Psarou Beach to the old-town rooms of Chora, with notes on who each one suits.
Why we wrote this guide
Mykonos sits in the middle of the Cyclades, a whitewashed island where dining runs from a seafront taverna with the catch on ice to marquee imports that arrive from London, Monte Carlo and Lima for the summer. The scene clusters in a few places: Chora, the old town and its lanes off Matogianni and Kalogera; Little Venice, where tables sit on the rocks below the windmills and the Aegean sprays over the front row at sunset; and the south-coast beaches, Psarou, Paraga, Agios Ioannis and Ornos, where the beach clubs double as serious restaurants. The season is short and intense, roughly May through October, and the best rooms fill weeks ahead once the yachts arrive.
This guide ranks 24 restaurants across that range, from Greek-Mediterranean cooking to Japanese-Peruvian imports, cave dining and sunset cocktail bars, so you can match the room to the night. Since these are restaurants, and outside Las Vegas the reservation sits with the venue, our role is a little different: we point you to the right room, help you time it, and build the rest of the trip around it. Last updated July 2026.
The ranked guide
1. Nammos (Psarou Beach)
Nammos holds the sand at Psarou Beach, tables looking out at an open Aegean and a horizon dotted with yachts. Across a day it works in three modes: a beach club with sunbeds and cabanas tiered up to the dining terrace, an evening restaurant of white-lined tables, and a late-night lounge with DJs to 2 a.m. The kitchen fuses Mediterranean and Japanese technique: tuna tartare with yuzu and caviar, grilled octopus with fava, lobster spaghetti and wagyu ribeye, plus a seabass ceviche and sushi. Reckon on roughly 150 to 300 euros per person, with beachfront tables and prime evening slots the first to fill. It is the world-renowned Psarou address every Mykonos list starts with. See Nammos.
Best for: the definitive Psarou beach-to-dinner day.
2. Zuma (Belvedere Hotel)
Zuma Mykonos sits at the Belvedere Hotel, the Greek outpost of Rainer Becker's global izakaya brand, in a room that opens onto a Cycladic-style courtyard with view-lines toward the Aegean. It runs May through October with no winter service. The menu holds the signatures that made the name across London, Miami, Dubai and Las Vegas: yellowtail jalapeno tiradito, miso-marinated black cod (one of the most-ordered dishes across the whole Zuma network), grilled wagyu skewers, rock shrimp tempura, and the maki set with spicy tuna and crispy rice. It reads as the island's top Japanese meal, precise robata cooking built for a long, social dinner. Book early, since the courtyard seats go first. See Zuma.
Best for: benchmark izakaya cooking on a Cycladic terrace.
3. LPM (Chora)
LPM holds a corner of Chora at Panachrantou 10, inside the Anandes Hotel, bringing a French Riviera register to Mykonos Town without the pretension. The split-level layout runs from an open-air terrace over the Aegean, set with white linens and olive trees, down to a whitewashed interior hung with bright artwork. The kitchen is anchored in Nicoise tradition: pissaladiere and warm prawns in olive oil, then grilled sea bass with artichokes or lamb cutlets with smoked eggplant, with linguine with clams alongside. A Creme Brulee with Tahitian vanilla closes, and the signature Tomate, a tomato-infused martini, runs through the night. It suits a long, unhurried dinner rather than a squeezed-in pre-club stop. See LPM.
Best for: Cote d'Azur Mediterranean in Mykonos Town.
4. Santanna (Paraga Beach)
Santanna spreads along the sand at Paraga Beach, south of Mykonos Town, where an all-day beach club and a serious open-air restaurant share the same shoreline. Run by the Nice n Easy Group, it pairs Cycladic design with international polish and keeps a long day, 10 a.m. to midnight, May through September. The layout runs across premium lounges and sunbeds with a central pool and a DJ booth at its heart, and the restaurant stays open to the sea, so the views carry it from a slow lunch through to dinner. After 5 p.m. the mood tilts toward celebration, when live DJs take over and the party menus come out. See Santanna.
Best for: a Paraga beach day that turns into a party.
5. LIO (Mykonos Town)
LIO runs dinner as theater. Part of the Pacha Group, the company behind several of the island's landmark nightlife rooms, it pairs a full kitchen with a nightly cabaret of live singers, dancers and acrobats who perform straight through service. The cooking works Mediterranean tradition through modern technique, built for sharing across an open-air terrace and chic interior rooms: tuna tartare with caviar and avocado, grilled octopus, seabass with artichoke and lobster risotto. Budget around 150 to 200 euros per person, with the LIO Spritz and cocktails from about 18 euros. It is the table to book when you want the show built into the meal. See LIO.
Best for: dinner and a live show in one room.
6. Buddha Bar (Ornos Bay)
Buddha-Bar Beach looks out over Ornos Bay from the Santa Marina Resort, a full-service restaurant and beach club in one, open from early afternoon into the small hours across the May-to-October season. The kitchen balances Asian fusion with Mediterranean influence: start with toro tartare or crispy pink shrimp, move to black cod or red curry shrimp with lemongrass rice, and finish on mango sorbet, with gluten-free options throughout. Prices sit at the steep end of the island. The space layers chic decor with Asian accents, greenery and open sea views, and it shifts as the sun sets, when resident DJs move the room from dinner into late-night club energy. See Buddha Bar.
Best for: Asian-fusion dinner over Ornos Bay.
7. Spilia (Agia Anna Beach)
Spilia is built into a natural cave in the cliffs directly above Agia Anna Beach, with wooden tables at the rock's edge for an unbroken view of the Aegean. The Nice n Easy Group runs it as a sea-to-table restaurant, and the setting is the whole point. A seawater pool on site holds live seafood, and the sea urchin for the signature starter is harvested from it daily. The menu keeps to Mediterranean fundamentals done well: lobster spaghetti, grilled seabream, octopus carpaccio, tuna tartare and local horta greens. Stone walls and soft lighting keep the room intimate, and live acoustic music drifts through dinner. Come at golden hour and order the sea urchin. See Spilia.
Best for: cave dining at the water's edge.
8. Noema (Chora)
Noema occupies a former open-air cinema on a corner of Chora's Panachra district, run by the Nice n Easy Group. The courtyard is built from natural wood, woven textures and cascading greenery that frames glimpses of the Aegean, an easy, bohemian setting that never tips into pretension. The menu turns on organic Greek ingredients and Mediterranean technique: grilled octopus with fava puree, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, seabream ceviche and prawn orzo, with starters like taramasalata and sides of horta greens. The Noema Spritz and a mastic panna cotta bookend the meal. The pacing is deliberate and the tables are spaced, so it reads as a proper sit-down dinner in the old town. See Noema.
Best for: an unhurried Chora dinner in a former cinema.
9. INTERNI (Matogianni)
INTERNI runs on Matogianni, the busiest dining corridor in Mykonos Town, an open-air courtyard restaurant that turns into a nightlife hub as the evening goes on. It works as a destination dinner rather than a quick pre-club stop. The signature is the courtyard: whitewashed Cycladic walls, greenery and wooden accents that change character once dusk hits, when ambient lighting and DJ sets move the space from romantic dinner to weekend party. The tiering creates its own energy zones, quieter perimeter tables for conversation and center seating where the DJ mix builds. The kitchen leans Mediterranean with modern Greek technique, tuna carpaccio with citrus among the plates. See INTERNI.
Best for: a dinner that rolls into the night on Matogianni.
10. Meraki (Chora)
Meraki takes a corner of Mykonos Town at 2 Mitropoleos Street in Chora, run by the Nice n Easy Group. It splits between an open-air terrace of whitewashed Cycladic architecture and a sleek, minimalist interior under warm light, so the mood shifts with where you land: terrace tables look out over the windmills, while inside tables stay intimate. The cooking is contemporary Mediterranean: grilled sea bass with lemon herb sauce, lamb kleftiko, orzo with prawns and tuna ceviche, with fava bean puree and zucchini fritters keeping a foot in Greek tradition. Cocktails, the Meraki Mule among them, and a soundtrack drifting from soft jazz round it out. See Meraki.
Best for: contemporary Greek-Med with a windmill view.
11. Bao's (Little Venice)
Bao's holds one of the best sunset positions in Little Venice, a cocktail bar built onto the rocks where the Aegean laps right up to the tables. As the light softens, the small waterside ledge becomes the most wanted seat in Chora, close enough that the spray occasionally reaches the front row. The bar takes its name and attitude from Pirate Bao, a figure tied to the defense of Mykonos in the revolt of 1770, and it plays that rebellious streak for all it is worth. The cocktails are ambitious and unapologetic, poured at a price that matches the address, and the music runs wide and loud as the sundowner hour slides into dancing past dark. See Bao's.
Best for: a front-row Little Venice sundowner.
12. Beefbar (Agios Ioannis)
Beefbar brings its Monte Carlo-born take on premium meat to the cliffs above Agios Ioannis, on a terrace at the Bill and Coo hotel with the Aegean and the silhouette of Delos filling the view. The Riccardo Giraudi concept made its name by treating world-class beef with the irreverence of street food, and the Mykonos outpost keeps that spirit while folding in a hint of the Cyclades. The menu is built around three ideas the group calls Beef, Reef and Leaf. Beef is the anchor: Kobe beef gyros in warm pita, Kobe beef prosciutto and the cult Croque Sando alongside grilled cuts from some of the best herds in the world. At the top price tier on the island, it is a splurge with a view. See Beefbar.
Best for: a beef-driven splurge above Agios Ioannis.
13. Cocco (Little Venice)
Cocco sits on the Little Venice seafront, the water a few steps from the tables and the windmills up the lane. It is the Belvedere Hotel's compact waterside room, all soft curves, white tablecloths and blue bistro chairs facing the Aegean. The Mediterranean menu is built for sharing: antipasti, handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and a From the Aegean section leaning on the day's Greek seafood. See Cocco.
Best for: a compact, sharing-style seafront dinner.
14. Coya (Matogianni)
Coya brings its Latin American dining and Pisco culture to an open-air courtyard off Malamatenias Street in the Matogianni quarter. Part of the international Coya group, it pairs Cycladic whitewash with warm Peruvian color and lantern light. The kitchen works the Peruvian tradition layered with Japanese, Chinese and Spanish influence: ceviches and tiraditos citrus-cured, anticuchos off the grill, larger plates of seafood and meat. See Coya.
Best for: Peruvian plates and pisco off Matogianni.
15. Hippie Fish (Agios Ioannis Beach)
Hippie Fish stretches along Agios Ioannis beach on the southwest coast, the quiet cove that stood in for the beach in the film Shirley Valentine. It is a beachfront restaurant and a day-to-evening beach club in one, Cycladic white with the sand a few steps away. The cooking is Mediterranean with a strong Greek and seafood accent from the day's catch, and dinner arrives with the sunset, since the beach faces west toward Delos. See Hippie Fish.
Best for: a long lunch or sunset dinner on the sand.
16. Kalita (Mykonos Town)
Kalita is a modern Greek restaurant in a walled garden on Kalogera Street, one of the quieter lanes in Mykonos Town. Built into the courtyard of the Fresh boutique hotel, it trades beach-club noise for palm trees and candlelight. The kitchen reinterprets Greek classics: a mini moussaka with feta mousse, a deconstructed spinach pie, and a menu leaning on Aegean seafood, with a serious Greek wine list. See Kalita.
Best for: a candlelit garden dinner and Greek wine.
17. La Maison de Katrin (Mykonos Town)
La Maison de Katrin has fed Mykonos Town since 1971, one of the oldest restaurants still running on the island. It sits down a narrow flagstone lane in the old quarter, off Panachrantou, behind an easy-to-miss doorway. Generations of the Griziotis family have run it, and the cooking marries Greek home recipes with classic French technique, plated with restraint. See La Maison de Katrin.
Best for: a French-Greek institution with real history.
18. M-eating (Mykonos Town)
M-eating occupies a traditional Mykonian mansion on Kalogera street, a short walk into the center of Mykonos Town. Chef-owner Panagiotis Menardos opened it after years in five-star kitchens, and it reads as a personal project: a few rooms, a courtyard, stone walls. The cooking is contemporary Mediterranean with a firmly Greek backbone, local cheeses, garden vegetables, slow-cooked meats and the day's Aegean fish. See M-eating.
Best for: a chef-driven Mediterranean dinner in a Chora mansion.
19. Matsuhisa (Belvedere Hotel)
Matsuhisa Mykonos brings Nobu Matsuhisa's New Style Japanese cooking to the terrace of the Belvedere Hotel, above Mykonos Town, opening onto the hotel pool and the sea. It has anchored the Belvedere since 2003 and stays a first booking for serious diners. The kitchen follows the Nobu template: black cod marinated in miso, yellowtail with jalapeno, rock shrimp tempura and more. See Matsuhisa.
Best for: Nobu-lineage Japanese-Peruvian above town.
20. Negrita (Little Venice)
Negrita is a cocktail bar tucked onto Kalogera in the old town, a few steps from Little Venice. Small, bohemian and heavy on color, it is built around golden-hour drinking, with bare bulbs and printed textiles. The name belongs to the house cocktail, a deep-red pour of gin, hibiscus, lime, elderflower, creme de cassis and mint. This is a drinks-first room, not a dinner spot. See Negrita.
Best for: a color-soaked golden-hour cocktail.
21. Nice n Easy (Little Venice)
Nice n Easy sits on Alefkandra Square at the edge of Little Venice, a front-row seat for the sunset behind the windmills. It is the organic outpost of a Greek group that chef Christos Athanasiadis and Dimitris Christoforidis started in Athens in 2008, built on one claim: bio and organic cooking done properly. The kitchen runs farm-to-table Mediterranean, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes alongside classic Greek plates. See Nice n Easy.
Best for: organic Mediterranean with a windmill sunset.
22. Remezzo (Old Port)
Remezzo has been part of Mykonos since 1967, at the entrance to the old town on the edge of the Old Port with a terrace over the Aegean. Its name is a nautical term for anchorage, and for decades it was one of the island's defining addresses, drawing Jackie Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn. Rebuilt in 2014, it cooks Greek and Mediterranean and turns to a party after midnight. See Remezzo.
Best for: a storied sunset dinner that turns late.
23. ROKA (Paraga Beach)
ROKA comes ashore on Paraga Beach for its first Greek opening, planting the London-born robatayaki name on one of the island's liveliest stretches of coast. Part of the Azumi group and a sister to Zuma, it shifts from daytime pool and sand to a charged dinner as the sun drops. At the center is the robata grill, turning out skewers, seafood and prime cuts, with sushi and sashimi alongside the contemporary Japanese menu. See ROKA.
Best for: robata grill and a beach-to-dinner shift.
24. Sea Satin (Little Venice)
Sea Satin Market by Caprice holds one of the most photographed positions on Mykonos, directly below the windmills at the edge of Chora. Tables run down to the rocks at sea level, some close enough to catch the spray, and nearly all face west toward the sunset. An island institution since the 1990s, the format is classic Cycladic: fish landed daily and grilled simply, whole fish sold by weight, and dinner that turns to dancing as the night goes on. See Sea Satin.
Best for: a whole-fish taverna dinner under the windmills.
