Yes, Mykonos can be super expensive and sometimes feel like an island that is functioning and operating only for the international jet set and the super-rich people that visit the place every summer, BUT there is no shortage of amazing restaurants that cater to everyone…Here are the best restaurants in Mykonos!
Mykonos restaurants don’t usually have fantastic volcano views like Santorini restaurants but most of them have a very unique feeling and a VIP atmosphere, mostly belonging to the fine dining category though.I need to warn you, though, that Mykonos restaurants can be very expensive, but the great thing is that the island offers amazing, cheap but very good places to eat such as lovely souvlaki places or small tavernas, off the grid. You can book a table at these restaurants through their website or by phone, but make sure you do that well in advance, as these are in high demand in July and August.

So…without further ado, these are the best restaurants in Mykonos :
1. Funky Kitchen

Funky Kitchen is one of those places where you don’t expect to be surprised, but it offers one of the most creative fusion and modern dishes in Greece. We are talking about Michelin star quality with some of the best ingredients in the world. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but don’t expect to find a fancy restaurant as it’s hidden on a terrace in a small alley in the famous Little Venice area of the island.
You will obviously find many seafood choices that are inspired by Greek cuisine and a fantastic selection of Greek wines and Greek beers. This is a Michelin-starred quality restaurant with very well-thought-out courses, and it comes with a price as well (totally deserved in my opinion…).
2. To Maereio

The prices are not typical Mykonos prices so it’s on the cheap side but the quality is really good. You will find some of the most famous Greek dishes, such as saganaki, moussaka, and Greek salad, while you might be able to hear some traditional Greek music as well (depending on the day of the week, but it’s every day in July and August). Maereio is a great experience as it’s the essence of Greek cuisine: quality ingredients, nice portions, and simplicity!
3. Captain’s

Try the seafood tacos and the stunning seafood platters that are made to share. Captain’s is not pretentious at all and it’s one of the best casual restaurants in Mykonos town.
4. Souvlaki Story

Prices are very fair, and if you are looking for a cheap place to eat after a day on the beach or even after clubbing, then a souvlaki is the greatest thing you can grab.
5. Appaloosa Bar Restaurant

There are very unique international dishes that are on the menu with Indonesian, Indian, and even Mexican influences, with lots of vegan options.
6. Hippie Fish

This is not a cheap place and you will probably be surrounded by lots of Instagram or TikTok influencers if you visit the place in July or August but hey…you are in Mykonos! The place has a very laid-back vibe to it, and it’s one of the most romantic restaurants in Mykonos.
7. Kensho Psarou Beach

There is no doubt this is a small paradise for the few who can afford it but what’s the point of visiting Mykonos if you are not able to afford it anyway…? Yes, you will find yourself looking at Psarou Bay filled with some of the most expensive yachts in the world, and you will also probably witness some VIP helicopter landings. Worth it? You decide…
8. NOA

Noa has excellent service, and in the high season, you would be able to enjoy live Greek music in the background, as there is a trio of musicians (bouzouki, guitar, saxophone) that play Greek melodies, during the night. The food itself can be considered fusion and modern but with local fresh ingredients.
9. Mediterraneo

10. Karavaki

Karavaki has one of the best views in Mykonos town as it’s in a hotel that sits on the hill behind the town so it overlooks all the whitewashed houses from a lovely terrace with a cute swimming pool.
This is a very romantic setup but the food is also not to be missed offering plates like everyday Greek plates with excellent presentation and fresh local ingredients.
11. D’Angelo Mykonos

D’Angelo is the best Italian in Mykonos, offering fantastic Italian dishes at low prices (for Mykonos standards anyway…). Everyone is very friendly in the restaurant, from the waiters to the chef himself and there is a good chance of you meeting them as the ambience is relaxed.
Raviolis, pasta, and risotto are all very well cooked and presented, and if you are on the hunt for a good Italian place to eat, then you cannot go wrong with D’Angelo’s.
12. Yialo-Yialo

The menu itself has pretty much everything that you would expect from a Greek restaurant on the beach: seafood, fresh fish, salads, pasta, and lots of fresh salads and yummy desserts. Most of the tables are literally on the sand of the beach so this is a very unique and unforgettable experience by itself.
13. M-eating

The cocktails are fantastic, but what can be the star of your meal is probably the strawberry cheesecake at the end. The cuisine itself is inspired by famous Greek dishes, and if you can, try to sit in the little garden so that you avoid the buzzing streets at the front tables.
14. Local Mykonos

They are all offering great options for a great lunch or dinner, but it all depends on how much you want to spend and what type of ambiance you are looking for. Greek food on any Greek island is an unforgettable experience that you would want to take back home when you are back.
FAQs
Are Restaurants In Mykonos Expensive?
Do I Need To Book Tables In Advance For Mykonos?
Yes. From late June through early September, you must book fine dining and popular sunset view restaurants at least two to three weeks in advance. Casual, traditional tavernas like To Maereio or Captain’s do not accept reservations at all. To avoid 45-minute queues at these walk-in spots, we recommend arriving before 7:30 PM.
What Time Do Restaurants Serve Dinner In Mykonos?
Dinner service typically begins around 7:30 PM, but the island operates on a late schedule. The main dinner rush happens between 9:30 PM and 11:30 PM. If you want to secure a walk-in table at a popular spot or prefer a quieter dining environment, plan to arrive right when the kitchens open.
Is It Customary To Tip In Mykonos Restaurants?
Tipping is expected, but you must check your receipt first. Many high-end restaurants automatically add a 10% to 15% service charge to the total. If no service charge is included, leaving a 10% tip in cash on the table is the standard local practice for good service.
Are There Michelin Star Restaurants In Mykonos?
Mykonos does not currently have official Michelin-starred restaurants, but several venues offer Michelin-level fine dining. Places like Funky Kitchen feature executive chefs producing high-end gastronomy that rivals starred establishments in Athens, but you will pay premium island prices for the experience.
