Restaurant
Siparos Seaside Restaurant is a must-visit spot on the way to Santa Maria beach in Paros. Its elegant island courtyard with modern touches perfectly complements the cosmopolitan vibe of the island, making it an ideal choice for lunch or dinner. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes curated by the chef, including special options that are sure to tantalize your taste buds.
In summary: We spent four nights in Paros and this was absolutely one of our favorite meals. It’s worth it for both the food and the ambiance. Our reservation was after sunset so we didn’t really get a view of the ocean, however, the ambiance of the restaurant itself was still very nice. We ordered the beet salad, shrimp ceviche, grilled octopus, and a vegetable linguine. I also had a cocktail (don’t remember the name but included the photo.). The shrimp and octopus were delicious and some of my favorite dishes throughout our whole trip (Paros, Naxos, and Athens). The vegetable linguine wasn’t even on the menu, but they made it for my girlfriend, who is a vegetarian, to accommodate her, this was her favorite meal too. They provided a complimentary dessert at the end, which one of the best desserts we had. I’m not sure what it was called but it was almost like vanilla ice cream wrapped in fried phyllo dough. Servers were friendly. Great experience. Reservations recommended. We had made a last minute reservation and were able to get in for 10pm.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Siparos Seaside Restaurant (Sea Paros) is one of those places you hear about long before you arrive in Paros — and for good reason. This elegant seaside restaurant near Naousa is known for some of the best seafood and fine dining in Paros, and our dinner there was truly incredible from start to finish. The atmosphere is stunning — relaxed yet sophisticated, with the Aegean right beside you and that golden Paros light setting the mood. The service was exceptional: professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our servers helped us pick the perfect fish, brought it over to weigh at the table, and explained every step of how it would be prepared. We started with a fish carpaccio — fresh, bright, and citrusy — followed by tzatziki, a tomato salad, and some perfectly crispy fries. But the main event was the whole fish baked in a salt crust, served tableside in an incredible presentation — cracked open, lightly flamed, and filleted right in front of us. The fish was tender, flavorful, and paired with some of the most amazing vegetables I’ve ever tasted — perfectly seasoned, sweet, and cooked to perfection. I still think about them. The local wine we chose complemented everything beautifully, and the overall experience was flawless. Yes, it’s a bit more on the upscale and international side — you’ll hear English, French, and Italian around you — but it’s worth every bit of the attention it gets. If you’re visiting Paros, the #1 island in the world right now, make sure you book a table at Siparos. It’s not just dinner — it’s a full seaside experience. Elegant, memorable, and absolutely delicious.

One of the best meals we had on the Island. Every dish exuded fresh and local. The best fried squid any of us have ever eaten. A light batter with a flash fry. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality. If Oysters ate in season go for it as they are served with an exquisite Greek mignonette. Excellent service and wine choice and a good music vibe at night

Siparos is truly amazing! The seafood is super fresh and every dish is full of flavor — perfectly seasoned and well-balanced. The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The highlights for me were the Shrimp Ceviche and Steamed Mussels — both absolutely delicious!

SiParos was a beautful atmosphere. Definitely lived up to the hype. Our waiter was great. The food was strait butter. Crazy how good the fresh fish is in Greece. They may have had the best cats in all of Greece too.

Restaurant was packed for a good reason. All the food was delicious and full of flavors. Dont skip the scallops or the lemon pie. Beautiful setting and attentive service. Things to know, you have to have a reservation that a deposit is required and you only have a set amount of time, which was plenty, to be there. Yes they are that busy even in the off season.

This place is absolutely amazing — the food is excellent, and the service is even better. The setting is stunning, with breathtaking sunset views that create a perfect atmosphere for a memorable dinner. The restaurant was full and bustling, especially around sunset, so I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. Despite how busy it was, the service was outstanding. The staff were attentive and efficient, and they didn’t mind guests getting up to take photos of the view — which many did! Food and drinks arrived quickly, and everything was delicious. But the highlight for me was the dessert — it was truly mind-blowing. All in all, an unforgettable dining experience. I can’t wait to come back.

We had a lovely dinner at Siparos Restaurant! The setting was beautiful, right by the sea, with a relaxing and elegant atmosphere. We ordered the Greek salad, which was fresh and full of flavor, the fried calamari—perfectly crispy and not greasy at all—and the orzo with seafood, which was rich, well-balanced, and packed with fresh seafood. Everything was beautifully presented and the service was attentive and professional. A great spot for a romantic evening or a peaceful sunset dinner in Paros. Highly recommended!

Greek restaurant
Barbarossa Restaurant, located in the old port of Paros, has been a staple since the 1980s, offering a diverse menu featuring creative Greek dishes, sushi, and an impressive selection of cocktails. This popular establishment is known for its luxurious and extravagant atmosphere and is a must-visit for those seeking an upscale dining experience. With 'siblings' in Cairo and Turkey, Barbarossa features a bar area as well as a quiet corner perfect for enjoying coffee, sushi, and brunch.
What an amazing night and food! Highly recommended experience. We had freshly shucked oysters by the table and hand fed - this was by far the highlight of the night! , the team were so vibrant, friendly and entertaining. They made it very comfortable for my husband who needed accessibility seating us at the end. The sunset was stunning and it’s the only time we experienced a restaurant not rushing us out, we asked for the bill and they told us to wait so we didn’t miss the music and napkin dance! There was a glitch with the power and music so they served us some amazing Banoffee. We ate a lot with our group of 6, with grilled lobster, red grouper, sea urchin pasta and shared starters. We loved it so much and came back a second time that week before leaving. Thanks for a memorable night!

One of the more expensive dinners on our tour of the Cyclades by yacht. Though expensive it was the more picturesque and beautiful. There are many times during dinner I thought to myself this place can’t be real. They do push you to get champagne and poor quality sushi. But the food is pretty good for a beach club restaurant. Grilled squid was the best so far. Grilled fish was good. We had a beautiful table by the inner harbor area by the fishing boats. We did have 8 table side shucked fresh oysters for 98 Euro! We can afford it but we found it expensive. We don’t drink excessively so the bill was around 150 Euro per person including a tip. I did not appreciate the request for a 20% tip on top of the bill. I normally tip 18-25% in the US and 20% is pretty standard except when in Europe and when asked instead of left to tip on my own. Dessert was also overly sweet and likely put together in a hurry. Don’t order dessert. Maybe just some drinks.

My friends, my cousin and I (a group of five young women) had a confirmed reservation at this place for 10:30 PM, made in advance by my mother. When we arrived, the receptionist told us we had to pay €150 per person — something we had never heard of, despite dining here two years ago. When we questioned it, she claimed that this year there were “new rules imposed” We asked if there was a way to reduce the cost, and she told us to wait 20 minutes to see if there is a solution to this — even though it was already 10:20 PM. While we waited, she and another receptionist stood nearby chatting and laughing in Greek, clearly mocking us as we were complaining in our own language. We kept asking for updates, and her only response was “please wait.” At that point, two of us went to look for another restaurant, convinced we wouldn’t be seated. Meanwhile, my cousin ran into a friend who was also waiting for her table — who confirmed she didn’t pay anything close to €150. When my cousin and her friend confronted the receptionist, she suddenly gave us a table, likely because she feared being reported. We were finally seated at 10:45 PM — late for our reservation — and when our parents arrived to speak to the staff, the original receptionist had left. Another staff member tried to claim we had no reservation, which was false. To make matters worse, the final bill was €135 less than what we were told it would cost per person, confirming that the €150 demand was completely fabricated. The receptionist clearly tried to take advantage of us because of our age, and her mocking, dishonest behavior was completely unacceptable. I don’t recommend this restaurant to anyone — especially young people — who expect to be treated with respect and fairness. I am going to add a picture of her here because we did not catch her name but I caught her in my video, and I also caught the other rude receptionist so I will also add her picture.

Made a reso for 9pm and arrived a bit early but was able to be seated right away. Ordered a cocktail and the chateaubriand, Greek salad and the lemon mustard potatoes - which were all excellent. The party jumped off as we finished dinner which was so fun! The perfect night out in Paros!

One of our best nights in Paros was definitely at Barbarossa. The place is beautiful, and the atmoshphere is like no other. There are many tourists, but also a lot of local people, so it feels like a place with history. The food was very nice, and the waiters kept checking on us to see if we had everything we needed. Sure, the prices aren’t cheap, but the experience makes up for it. Would go back for sure!
Cris M — Google review
We were so excited to try out Barbarossa and booked ahead of time, we couldn’t order anything for the kids but plain pasta as everything else is seafood and they don’t eat it, we were kind of pressured by the waiter he kept on suggesting the fresh lobster pasta which was for 210 euros, we wouldn’t mind ordering few things to try out but it’s just pasta, one min later when I tried to cancel it the waiter claimed that he already gave the order and they cracked he lobster already ( literally 60 seconds after ordering) and it wasn’t canceled! After that they barely served us or came to check if we needed anything else since we tried to cancel. The ambience is great though but it was ruined for us by the is experience. We have eaten in the world’s best restaurants and cities, but this was a rip-off.

Restaurant
Located in the charming town of Naoussa, Paros, Yemeni Wine Restaurant is a must-visit for those seeking a unique dining experience. This restaurant has been an institution in the local culinary scene since 2007 and offers traditional foods with a modern twist in presentation and pairings. The ambiance exudes an amorous appeal with tables set up in the alleyway, creating a romantic atmosphere.
My wife's family is from Greece and this was better than their cooking (don't tell them). I wish they had a cookbook so I could make some of these back home. I especially recommend moussaka which is a recipe of the owner's mother.
Ryan G — Google review
The food was good, would recommend booking a table especially if you want to sit outside we were not precious about it. We order moussaka, the chicken and the pork chops. The moussaka was great the chicken average and the pork portion was massive. We also had some appetiser and no dessert, but they gave us something sweet in the end. They charge way too much for the bread and it was nothing special and reheated However the odd thing was it took us ages to pay by card… we had to ask 2 different for the bill.

Very popular spot for good reason! Amazing food and good service. The fried feta is fantastic; it’s phyllo wrapped and dressed with a light tomato jam. As a vegetarian, I was happy with the options. I also enjoyed the chickpea dish and dolmades. The guest next to me raved about the orzo with beef dish.

I’m so glad we visited Yemeni – it turned out to be the best restaurant in the centre of Paros, hidden in the beautiful σοκάκια (alleys) of Naousa. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the prices were very reasonable – great value for money! The staff were polite, the service was quick, and the whole experience was simply wonderful. I loved both the food and the atmosphere, and I would definitely recommend this place.

We came here on the recommendation of our BnB, expecting great seafood on a Greek island. Instead, we left disappointed (and lighter in the wallet). The menu looked promising, but the prices already raised an eyebrow — €31 for a seafood linguine, €25.50 for grilled octopus. That’s fine if the food delivers. Spoiler: it didn’t. The seafood linguine arrived with a portion fit for a child. For €31 you’d expect a bounty of the sea; instead, we got 3 prawns, 3 mussels, 5 clams, and a sad little swirl of pasta. And those mussels? Sooooo small (see photo). I’ve had a crab pasta in Piraeus for €20 that fed three people. Here, it barely covered one. I took nice photos, but don’t be fooled — the food looks better in pictures than it tasted. When I mentioned the portion at the end, the waiter just smiled and said, “it’s for one person.” It doesn’t make it any less absurd. The grilled octopus? Not fresh, chewy in all the wrong ways, and honestly questionable for a restaurant that is literally on an island that pride itself for seafood. Since this is a wine bar, we asked for time to choose, but the staff jumped in with their “expert” suggestions: a white (Island something) and a rosé (Rodi). Neither was remotely close to what we asked for (semi-sweet). Maybe it’s a different Greek flavour profile, or maybe it was just bad pairing — either way, another miss. Overall, small portions, high prices, and seafood that didn’t taste fresh. If you don’t mind paying a lot for very little, this might suit you. For us, it was a real disappointment. If you’ve read this far and want a better option, head inland to Aranto in Lefkes. Fresh food, generous portions, and prices that make sense. A far better experience and proof that this island can deliver what you came for.

My husband and I had dinner at Yemeni on our first night in Paros, expecting a nice local experience. Unfortunately, it turned into a nightmare. A few hours after dining, we both developed severe food poisoning, including fever and stomach issues, which forced us to stay in our room the entire next day. This wasn’t just a minor inconvenience — it completely ruined our vacation plans, as we lost precious days recovering. For a restaurant of this reputation, such a serious hygiene lapse is unacceptable. I hope the management takes this seriously and ensures better food safety standards, so no one else has to go through the same experience.

We’ve been traveling for a week and a half, and this was hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. From start to finish, the service was exceptional—our servers were attentive, kind, and truly made the meal special. That makes all the difference! The food was absolutely delicious and, unlike many other places we’ve been, everything came out hot—especially the lobster pasta, which was a 10/10. Even the bread was great! We would absolutely come back and hope to see the amazing staff again. Highly recommend!

Overall, a really nice spot with great service, tasty food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it.

We have been in Greece and eating dinner out every night and I can honestly say this is the best restaurant, service, and food we have had! The hostess, Natasha, was extremely kind to give us a gorgeous table right next to the edge so we could view the water and sunset during our meal, and Pantelis was an incredible waiter. He was exceptional with being prompt with food and drinks, answering any questions we had, checking on us throughout the meal, and making sure everything was wonderful. The atmosphere and vibe were delightful. All of the servers were on it! They all were attentive to tables for drinks and food and everything we ate was absolutely beyond delicious. The bread with olive oil, and shrimp skewers with horse radish sauce melted in my mouth, along with the chicken dish with potato-heaven. The view was beautiful and the whole experience was absolute perfection. I would highly recommend this amazing restaurant! YUM!!

Sadly we had a really bad experience here. Service was terrible and ruined the whole experience. firstly we entered an empty restaurant and they gave us the table blocking the sunset (they then moved us) then the waiter didn't know what fish/ seafood he had and came back 3 times.. then we tried to order a bottle of wine and that was also a bad experience. hostess walked around up and down the restaurant with an iPad for 6 tables during the whole time without looking at people or their experience. spoke to the owner and he apologized but sometimes people are not looking for an apology or compensation, they just want good service and food instead of a wasted evening. please do better hope they improve...

Taverna Mouragio is a well-established restaurant in Parikia, offering fresh fish sourced from local fishermen and a variety of Greek dishes. The Tsantalis family has been running the restaurant for over 30 years, priding themselves on using locally grown vegetables and their homemade 'misithra' cheese. With its seafront location providing stunning sunset views, the restaurant's outdoor terrace is often bustling with patrons. Visitors can expect friendly and helpful staff who are knowledgeable about the menu offerings.
The food was very good, in particular the fish that was perfectly grilled. The waiters are all very kind. Price is fair for the portions and quality, still considered cheap :D Highly recommended!

Would not recommend unless you like terrible food and to be treat terribly! We decided to come to this restaurant on our first night in Paros due to the stunning view and our love of fresh fish. The view is the only thing that was correct. As soon as we entered the restaurant the staff acted with great hostility, being told we had to move due to being too close to a table that they had placed, albeit not in any polite manner. The service was the worst I have experienced in 20 years of coming to Greece and over 5 islands visited. The main issue was the food, my partners fish was good, it was fresh and good so we cannot complain about that, but the muscles that I received were awful. Every muscle looked practically white they were that pale, and more specifically, tasted sour. I was assured that they were fresh, but in all the years that I have eaten muscles, they were the worst I have ever had and simply inedible. To top it off, after I asked to send the food back, they then sent a man to confront me on what the issue was (I am a woman in my early twenties) after already explaining and somewhat resolving the issue. I was not asked if I would like to order a different dish and was left to sit there with a plate of chips. I have since not felt well from attending this restaurant. I am not sure whether it is because of the muscles, though it is funny it is as soon as I ate here. When looking at reviews, I have noticed the owner has replied to many negative reviews trying to state customers have not attended, so please see attached a photo of my food as validation.

A delightful seafront gem right in the heart of Paroikiá! This seafood restaurant offers traditional Greek cuisine with a creative twist that truly elevates the dining experience. We enjoyed a superb selection of dishes, including the vibrant Cycladic salad, flavourful chtapodokeftedes (octopus fritters), beautifully roasted imam aubergine, and the incredibly fresh maridaki – which our waiter, Yiorgos, kindly recommended. He was the epitome of professionalism: kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food. Every plate was both delicious and original, and the stunning views over the sea and surrounding rocks made it even more special. A truly pleasant spot for fish and seafood lovers. Without a doubt, my favourite restaurant in all of Paros.
