Best Restaurants in Mykonos (2026)
A concierge-ranked guide to the 23 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 23 restaurants across that range, from Greek-Mediterranean cooking to Japanese-Peruvian imports, rock-platform 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 September 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 is Mediterranean at heart: fish and seafood arrive fresh from the boats each morning, sushi comes as maki rolls and sashimi, and a list of premium beef cuts is dry-aged before it reaches the table. Beachfront tables and prime evening slots go first. 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 (Mykonos Town)
Zuma Mykonos sits on a cliffside in Mykonos Town, the Greek outpost of Rainer Becker's contemporary Japanese restaurant, with whitewashed villas around it and sunset views over 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: marinated black cod wrapped in hoba leaf, rock shrimp tempura with shiso and citrus mayonnaise, sliced yellowtail with green chili relish and ponzu, spicy beef tenderloin with sesame and sweet soy, and wagyu tartare gunkan with black truffle. It stands as the island's top Japanese meal, precise robata cooking built for a long, social dinner. Book early, since tables go first. See Zuma.
Best for: benchmark Japanese cooking above the Aegean.
3. LPM (Chora)
LPM holds a corner of Chora 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: warm prawns with olive oil and lemon, snails in garlic butter and yellowtail carpaccio with guacamole and citrus to start, then whole grilled sea bass or lamb cutlets with olive, eggplant caviar and pine nuts, with lobster linguine alongside. A vanilla creme brulee closes, and the signature Tomatini runs through the night. It suits a long, unhurried dinner. 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. It pairs Cycladic design with international polish and keeps a long day, noon 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. On party days the mood tilts toward celebration from about 5 p.m., when the party menu comes out and DJs take over at 6. See Santanna.
Best for: a Paraga beach day that turns into a party.
5. LIO (Mykonos Town)
LIO runs dinner as theater. 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: octopus cooked in the embers, tuna tataki with charred avocado, king crab paccheri and grilled grouper. 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-September season. The kitchen balances Asian fusion with Mediterranean influence: start with spicy tuna tartare or sea bass ceviche with aji amarillo, move to roasted black cod with miso-truffle sauce or a red Thai coconut curry with seafood and jasmine 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 sits on a natural rock platform above Agia Anna Beach, in the cove next to Kalafatis Beach, with wooden tables at the rock's edge for an unbroken view of the Aegean. It runs as a sea-to-table restaurant, and the setting is the whole point. The seafood comes from certified sustainable suppliers, and sea urchin is one of the signature starters. The menu keeps to Mediterranean fundamentals done well: lobster spaghetti, grilled octopus, sea bass carpaccio, tuna tartare and king crab tartare. 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: rock-platform dining at the water's edge.
8. Noema (Chora)
Noema occupies a former open-air cinema on a corner of Chora's Panachra district. 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 Florina pepper aivar, slow-cooked lamb shoulder and veal cheek orzo with Mykonian graviera, with starters like seabass ceviche and smoked tarama, and sides of horta greens. The Aegean Negroni and the Meltemi are the cocktails to order. The pacing is deliberate and the tables are spaced, so it feels like 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, not 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, with produce from island farms and the day's Aegean fish. See INTERNI.
Best for: a dinner that rolls into the night on Matogianni.
10. Meraki (Cavo Tagoo)
Meraki is the restaurant of the Cavo Tagoo hotel, built around Greek-Mediterranean cooking with some fire in it. Tables look out over the Aegean, with the sea breeze coming through at every seating, from breakfast to dinner. Evenings are where Meraki puts on a show, traditional recipes meeting modern luxury with cocktails and music carrying dinner forward as the night goes. See Meraki.
Best for: contemporary Greek-Med with an Aegean 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 George Bao, the pirate who defended Mykonos during 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 concept made its name by treating 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 on a wheat galette with tzatziki, 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. Hippie Fish (Agios Ioannis Beach)
Hippie Fish stretches along Agios Ioannis beach on the southwest coast, a quiet cove on the southwest side of the island. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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 Giziotis 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.
17. 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 feels like 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.
18. 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.
19. Negrita (Little Venice)
Negrita is a cocktail bar in Little Venice, in the old town of Mykonos. 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, the Negrita, made with Cazadores blanco tequila, orange liqueur, blueberry syrup, basil syrup and lemon juice. This is a drinks-first room, not a dinner spot. See Negrita.
Best for: a color-soaked golden-hour cocktail.
20. 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 started by chef Christos Athanasiadis and Dimitris Christoforidis, 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.
21. 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.
22. 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, and dinner that turns to dancing as the night goes on. See Sea Satin.
Best for: a whole-fish taverna dinner under the windmills.
23. Avli Tou Thodori (Platis Gialos)
Avli Tou Thodori is at the far end of Platis Gialos, where the beach narrows toward the headland and the water is calm enough to swim between courses. Tables sit on the sand under cream umbrellas, with loungers running down to the shoreline and a bar set back behind them. The cooking is Greek and unfussy - whole fish, grilled octopus, Greek salad with a slab of feta, pasta with seafood - a beach kitchen doing beach food properly. It runs midday to midnight through the season, with online booking as well as reservations by phone. See Avli Tou Thodori.
Best for: a long lunch on the sand that turns into an afternoon.
How the booking works
The Mykonos table is the anchor, and the reservation for it sits with the restaurant. What we do is everything around it. We know these rooms, which terrace catches the sunset, which kitchen suits a long lunch versus a late dinner, which corner of Chora turns into a party after midnight, so we point you to the right one and help you time it against the season. From there we build the rest: the beach club that morning, the club after, the boat, the transfers. Tell us the dates and the group over WhatsApp and we will shape the days around the table you want.
