5 Restaurants You NEED To Try in Mykonos

Haylee Tuason -

Put that guidebook away and get ready to fully indulge in a Mykonos getaway. The only thing you should be worried about is the next place you’re going to eat! Get a feel of the Mykonos culture with the local cuisine and enjoy the views. There are many places you can choose from, so here are 5 restaurants we recommend to make the best out of the island:

Scorpios

This boho chic beach club is highly recommended for its mouth-watering seafood dishes. Get ready to watch your fish platter be deboned right in front of you by one of the waiters, while others are serving you more dips and sauces than you can imagine. If you plan to stay through the night, have your dancing shoes ready because DJ booths and speakers go up as the sun comes down. This is a place you won’t mind staying the whole day.

Spilia

For a more romantic food experience, Spilia is just what you need. It is hidden in a secret cave, which just adds to the ambiance. If you are able to get a table by sea you will be able to watch the lobsters being caught right in front of you -- probably for your meal! If you don’t know what to get, you can’t go wrong with the lobster pasta, and you know it will be fresh.

Interni

If you are used to living that cosmopolitan lifestyle, behold -- Interni. Book a dinner here for some classic Mediterranean cuisine, complete with a large selection of meat and fish dishes. Definitely try to go later for dinner so you can see the restaurant turn into a hotspot perfect for dancing.

Funky Kitchen

If you want a twist on local Mediterranean dishes, have dinner at this fusion restaurant. Some of their dishes include seared tuna with eggplant mousse and octopus carpaccio with pink peppercorns. You probably won’t find another place like it. Make sure to save room for dessert! Their chocolate nirvana definitely lives up to its name.

Pepper

When you’re looking for a quick snack, look for this quaint, friendly souvlaki joint. This Little Venice restaurant serves fast food like no regular fast food restaurant. All the ingredients are high-quality and the dishes are prepared before your eyes. The menu may be small, but it’s all about quality over quantity at Pepper.
