Taverna restaurants in Cyclades

  1. To Steki tou Garbi

    A good traditional grill house just around the corner from Koundouris Travel in Kastro.

    reviewed

  2. Thea

    With a waterside location near the Antiparos ferry quay at Pounta, echoes of old Greece and Asia Minor hang in the air at this great restaurant. Mains include Cappadocian lamb with apricots, or beef with quinces, rice and plums. There are over 450 different vintages kept in a wine room-cum-bar, which even has a glass floor with bottles nestling beneath your feet.

  3. Drakos Taverna

    Enjoy reasonably priced fish dishes (although some species are by the kilogram) at this popular taverna that overlooks the sea at the southern end of the beach. Whatever's on the dish, you get the feeling that it may well have hopped straight from the water into the kitchen and then onto your plate.

  4. To Koutouki tis Elenis

    Gagou is a narrow lane that veers off from the bottom of Evangelistria. It's crammed with tavernas whose tables fill every corner. This cosy little place is one of the best and dishes up cheerful local treats such as chicken in lemon sauce, rabbit in tomato sauce, and a tasty fish soup.

  5. Halaris Taverna

    There are a number of tavernas and cafés on the waterfront at Piso Livadi, but Halaris is a great choice. There's fresh fish available from the family's own boat while the shrimp pies are delicious. Other treats range from zucchini croquettes to homemade cheese and spinach pies.

  6. Metaxy Mas

    Stylish service, decor and modern Mediterranean cuisine make this one of the best restaurants on Tinos. Tasty starters such as giant beans with spinach, or the succulent cheese pie, pave the way for mains that include veal casserole or cuttlefish with spinach.

  7. To Astro

    Kastro's genuine 'star', as the name translates, certainly lives up to its name. Lovingly run by the owner-cook, it offers delicious island dishes including eggplant and meatballs, octopus with olives, and lamb in traditional Sifniot style.
