Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Sifnos

Without a doubt, this was the best food we had on the island. Every dish was excellent, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Everything about our experience was simply fantastic. The service was outstanding—warm, attentive, and thoughtful in a way that made us feel truly cared for. The staff went above and beyond, especially in doting on our young baby, which made the evenings even more special. The service here is the best we’ve experienced anywhere in Greece, and that kind of consistency clearly comes from the top, so congratulations to the management for setting such a high standard. We loved it so much that we came back for our last night in Sifnos, and it was the perfect way to end our trip. The team were outstanding and we couldn’t be more appreciative of them taking care of us. A visit to Sifnos isn’t complete without dining here. I’m still thinking about their dessert and can’t wait to come back one day!

Fancy restaurant with the quality, originality you expect and also with the usual high prices for such a place. I've been there in October, so it was reasonably busy, pleasant to just walk by and have a wonderful meal by the beach. In July-August it is totally another story. Realy with it!

We had a great dinner at Omega3. We got sat right a the water as another family decided to get up. The menu is interesting a big departure from typical Greek cuisine. The waiter was prompt, helpful and provided suggestions. The meals are served tapas style and everything we had was really good. We liked every dish, they did get sea urchin for the first time in a few weeks and that was delicious. The wine list was extensive and not knowing anything about Greek wine, the waiter provided some suggestions (also some of the most expensive) but they didn’t disappoint. Overall we had a fantastic experience and would go back the next time we are on the island.

The food was very nice, nice concept of restaurant and delivered a nice experience. Was a but too loud from the beach and music from other bars, but overall was worth coming to try! Fish mosaic was surreal and orzo was also really tasty!

A party of 5 and we tried 9 different plates and 2 desserts! Everything was amazing and honestly i can not understand the bad reviews! Off course it’s a matter of personal taste, but Omega 3 it’s not a place to bury it with bad reviews! Taste, quality of materials and service is very high level! The price is about 40-50 euros per person which is understandable for what it offers! Definitely a place you must visit in Sifnos!!!

We loved the casual atmosphere — it’s the kind of place that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The menu is focused on small plates designed for sharing. We were recommend to order 5 to 7 plates for two people to get a good variety — each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The staff were incredibly friendly and offered great suggestions and making us feel right at home. Definitely a place we would like to come back to — highly recommended!

Experiential island cuisine in a fantastic location. On the pricey end but it is worth the experience. The staff is great,the food is nice, it was worth the visit

Stunning taverna on the beach serving delicious local food! The fried squid and moussaka were personal favourites (bear in mind they had sold out of moussaka by 8pm (overheard from another table)) and the Greek salad and chickpea balls also great. You can’t actually see sunset from this spot but the glow of the mountains opposite was just as good.

Such a classic great tavern! We trued mousakka, greek salad, fries and fried calamari. Not a huge fan of greek ekmek kadayifi but still, really good food. I also liked its calming atmosphere next to the beach and chill staff. Awesome!

Beach front taverna to have lunch or early dinner after swim. Traditional local dishes with the freshest ingredients. The family that owns it have their own farm so both meat dishes and cheeses on offer are made by them! Must visit for meat lovers and local cuisine.

A lovely spot to eat traditional Greek food with your feet on the sand. Order the classics (Pastisio, Stuffed Tomatoes and Moussaka) and you won’t be disappointed.

Lunch of horiatiki with soft local cheese, perfect fried potatoes, and strong tzatziki with your feet in the sand inches from the sea. Delicious and blissful.

Lovely taverna right on the beach, we had one of the best eggplant salad- dip ever with yummy fresh bread , Greek salad and very nice house rose! Excellent service, we enjoyed it all after a 3 hours 40 min hike!

Such a perfect little true Greek family run restaurant. We really enjoyed the food and wine. The service was great! It is run by a husband and wife doing the cooking and the son serving. They were so welcoming!

Lovely spot with great ambience and excellent service. The menu is adventurous - with interesting and unexpected combinations and techniques that left us at moments impressed (for example the sea bream in quinoa crust), at moments a bit puzzled (for example the kiwi purée and cucumber celery garnish in the sea bream). Overall, we liked the experience and the daring approach. Ambience and service are truly 10/10. Definitely a must try in Sifnos!!

Wow! One of the best lunch ever! The chef is a genius! All the dishes were very well made, balanced and tasty! The presentation was great and Isaac the waiter was really friendly and helpful! Big thank you for the experience!

I went without reservation and the staff was extremely helpful to find me a table. I was on my own, and wanted to try another wine that was not on the glass service but they found me a good middle ground. Whatever I tried was extremely tasty. The spring onion starter with “almond ricotta” is a very unusual yet enjoyable dish, that gets richer with the textures. The famous sea bream with quinoa crust deserves its fame. Very light and fit for a summer evening, while still holding flavour richness with green “salsa” and celery salad. And the star of the night, the cookie sandwich dessert with pistachios. How amazing a dessert can be, a perfect match for the Samos nectar wine too! I’d be happy to be back here! Thanks to the chef and the lovely service team!

Very special and incredibly tasty dishes. The girl who served us was very polite and helpful (Thank you Penelope) . Highly recommended – 100%.

We’ve been traveling around Greece. This was by far the best food we’ve had. It was absolutely worth it. We had fried cuttlefish, spring onion, sea bass, and orzo with pork. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Frankie and Nico are the best. Ask for them :-)

Awesome restaurant. We had 1 dish off menu and 2 from the menu... amazing! Wine also really good. Everything perfect thanks!

Had a lovely and quiet lunch experience here amidst an otherwise busy beach. The food quality and presentation were top notch, and the service was a 10/10. Don’t miss out on the watermelon salad, and the restaurants fabulous bread/olive oil/olives!

Nice ambiance and decent food offering! For the price point, one would arguably expect something more bold and audacious! They are encouraged to try it as something to improve! Service was definitely a strong point, especially Giorgos who made our evening memorable!

For the name of God just book in advance and visit this place!!! My fiancée and myself visited this place and it exceeded our expectations!!!! We have been to restaurants around the world but this one is definitely one of the best we have been to!!! Excellent staff, professional, full of smiles and positive energy! They enjoy themselves and you can see the happiness on their face when you enjoy yourselves. The food is made by fresh ingredients and the combination of flavours creates an explosion of taste and awesomeness!!! The secluded beach, the stars and moon create an out of this world experience!! TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT!!! Μπράβο παιδιά είστε καταπληκτικοί!!!

Waited all summer to visit Cantina and it didn’t disappoint. The service, food quality and atmosphere were all 10/10. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, offered suggestions for wine/ specials without being pushy. They also were very helpful with ordering a taxi for us. One of my favourite dining experiences, can’t wait to visit again! Pricing: It’s a sharing menu, 7 courses at €70pp and you can upgrade to €100 to have the special menu. There were options for bottles of wine from €40 all the way up to €900+

We had an absolutely wonderful late lunch here. Living in London we massively enjoyed coming post swim and not being rushed, having almost all the 3 hours with a stunning view felt like a luxury.

10/10. Just perfect. Absolute must in sifnos. Staff are amazing, food is incredible. A super special once in a lifetime experience without any stuffiness or pretentiousness. Just good homemade local food and the best vibes.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant. Food was amazing but missing a bit of a wow factor for the price. Still very high quality food but the "mains" were lacking some flavor. We would still go back anytime visiting sifnos as it is beautiful and their wine list is spectacular.

The setting, the food, the service, were all absolutely top notch. One of the best experiences dining that my wife and I have had. Sommelier was awesome allowing us to try varieties we were less familiar with.

We have been in Greece for over two weeks and had some fantastic meals. Our meal at Limanaki surpassed all of them. We had the lobster, the octopus appetizer, and the salad with giant beans. All were sensational. The woman who waited on us was the fisherman’s daughter. She showed us all the fresh fish caught that day and let us choose what we wanted. We tried to order something for an appetizer and she guided us to get something different that would pair well with the other things we were ordering. We were deciding between menu options and when we said we wanted the lobster, but didn’t want the pasta that came with it she had the lobster grilled and served with the salad. All this to say she curated the most delicious dining experience. After we paid our bill they brought us a mini “cheesecake “ to perfectly finish off the meal. All of this in the most charming area on the most charming island.

A perfect way to end our last day in Sifnos. Limanaki impressed us with warm, attentive service and generous portions of incredibly fresh seafood. The red snapper, one of the fish of the day, was grilled to perfection —simple, flavourful, and beautifully cooked. The crayfish orzo was another standout, rich and delicious. Add to that the stunning sea views and relaxed atmosphere, and you’ve got a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommended ✅

We had the best time dining at Limanaki while in Sifnos! My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon bouncing around several islands in Greece. While in Sifnos, we stayed right in Faros and were a short walk to the restaurant. No wonder we came here on three separate occasions! The marinated anchovies were simple but elegant. I tried the fresh catch of the day which was a scorpion fish (pictures included). What a unique experience for a fish that is not easy to find! The staff were so kind and the atmosphere as warm and welcoming as anyone could ask for. Don’t miss this nice gem if you are in Sifnos! We will be back :)

This was our favourite restaurant in Sifnos. If you want an authentic Greek experience - go here. The fish is caught by the fisherman who owns the restaurant, the food and wine are delicious, traditional music plays and it is in a tiny Greek fishing village. What more could you want on holiday?!

It was amazing! We ordered a grilled parrot fish, fried tiny fishes (I am not good with names..), tzatziki and grilled vegetables. Everything was super fresh and incredible, especially the fish. The server was so kind and welcoming. She showed the inventory of fishes of the day. The price was very reasonable considering the quality of food. We are staying 4 days in this island and visited this restaurant twice. Highly recommended!

We walked from Kastro to Faros and ended up at this lovely restaurant by the sea. We had fresh fish, delicious greens, and were treated to a tasty dessert. The staff was very friendly and everything tasted amazing. Afterwards we enjoyed a refreshing swim, the perfect ending to a wonderful afternoon.

My sister and i were told about this restaurant from a new friend we met at our accommodation. The 3 of us came and, wow, the family took such good care, and we chose fresh fish from the days catch. The flavours were exploding in your mouth, and the grilled squid amazing. Thanks George, Pedro and Isabella for a wonderful evening. Robbyn, Deborah and Clementine.

Best spot so far for veggie/vegan food - you must try the chickpea soup! Melt in your mouth and so is the stuffed aubergine and vine leaves. Pretty gorgeous spot too looking over the bay !

Delicious vegan / vegetarian food - plenty options! We ordered a few small plates, the zucchini balls were so tasty and the chickpea soup (local dish) is a must try.

Meropi in Kamares is a real gem. The Mastelo was perfectly tender, the katsikaki kokkinisto (goat in tomato sauce) rich and full of flavour, and the Greek salad with myzithra cheese was fresh and delicious. The staff are warm and welcoming – special mention to Simos, who was exceptionally helpful and friendly. A must-visit in Sifnos!

The taverna - The food is okay. The greens beans were very good. Service is decent. Location is great. Moussaka was okay but nothing special. Not likely to return. 7/10.

My husband and I loved this place so much that we came here for dinner two times (which we never do on holiday). The staff were so friendly and the chickpea soup and clay baked lamb were UNREAL. Our friends and family are probably sick of me talking about how much we loved this place. If you’re in Sifnos, we highly recommend!!

We have been here during last years several times and this restaurant was one of our favorite, unfortunately the foods did not taste the same and the quality is reduced. The staff is fast and polite! Nice location by the seaside. We hope next year it will be better 🤞

Don’t know why the ratings are so strong for here. Worst meal we have had in Greece. Extremely disappointed. Lamb was stone cold and we sent it back then it came back dry and even worse. Dolmades were cold and tasted like the ones out of a can. Greek salad was fine. Bread tasted stale. Do yourself a favour and go to one of the others on this strip they ate all better and more authentic

The location is beautiful and has lovely views. The food was amazing. I’ve not had souvlaki cooked so tender and flavorful ever. The down side was the service. With only a couple of tables in the restaurant and still service was hard to get. Constantly having to go find someone. It seemed they were more interested in talking with friends than work. The service was so bad, we left without having dessert.

This restaurant promotes itself as fine dining, though the menu focuses mainly on classic Greek dishes. That said, every plate we tried was executed very well. The atmosphere is inviting, with an outstanding view, and the service was quick and pleasant. Overall, I felt the experience was a bit overpriced for what it offered.

One of the best restaurants in all of Greece. We ate here twice in 3 days, the food is absolutely delicious. Highly reccomend the following: haloumi starter, casarecce eggplant pasta, slow cooked goat and for desert the Ekmek, oven baked cookie with ice cream and above all else the best basque cheesecake we’ve ever had. Great service and beautiful setting, we’ll be back again when we visit sifnos.

Hands down best dinner we’ve had in Sifnos - and we’ve had some good ones! Simple menu, yet everything prepared to perfection. The chicken Souvlaki was so tender.. I’ll be back!

Simple traditional menu, nice flavors and amazing Apollonia view

We have now come here twice for dinner. We had the chicken skewer the first time, and the lamb chop the second time. Hands down the best meat we have had on Sifnos! It’s so good it’s ruining my ability to order chicken skewer elsewhere! And don’t forget the house wine and the basque cheesecake!!

I have no idea why the ratings are so high here. We arrived at 8 45 PM and we were the only table, another table arrived just before we left.The food is below average, service is friendly. The location is very good and close to town, however we were not able to pay by credit card because they said there was no internet coverage. Then they said we should make an international bank transfer, which the bank would charge a hefty transfer fee. Finally we agreed that they would come to our hotel and we would pay them in cash. This is not an experience I ever encountered in Greece and therefore my rating for Drimoni is quite low.

My scale is 3 for as expected given price, location etc. Small ocean fronting restaurant with fresh seafood. We had a fresh parrot fish with lovely “squeaky cheese” salad as mum would say. Very fresh and colourful. A carafe of rose followed by a red. Delicious as expected. Well worth a visit.

Atmosphere is great and staff are so friendly! Food is delicious too but as a restaurant who should have fresh fish I was expecting some flavour in food. My seabream did not have much of a taste or flavour. We recommend the greek salad. Also, we found it too expensive compared to other restaurants in the island (70€ per kg of seabream whereas other restaurants have it for €55)!

Best place to get fresh fish in town, price and quality wise is the best as well we had in Sifnos. The flavors were amazing and the starters were also special. Great atmosphere with directly sea view and the lively street. The staff were friendly but there’s a room for improvement with more proactive attitude and attention. Highly recommended and reservation is needed for the sea view.

Served us a stone-cold fish. On balance, decided to press on. We were happy to pay for everything else. But not the stone-cold fish. We met with an exceptionally aggressive response from the owner/manager. Which included calling the port police!!! A remarkable experience. From our (albeit limited) experience, this place is best avoided. Especially when compared with the superb culinary experiences elsewhere on the island, we had a terrible meal (the final meal of our excellent holiday). And the customer care to genuinely aggrieved customers left a lot to be desired.

The fish is super good, we ate the sea bream and a tarama as the starter. The portions are big. At night it looks to be pretty full, but at lunch it is almost empty, so if you want to try it without being crowded I recommend eating there at lunch

Went on a Sunday and had the chickpea stew traditional to Sifnos on this day which was smoky, nuanced, and delicious. We also had salad with cheese made in Sifnos which was huge and very fresh. Lovely seating on the water and one of the best meals we had during our trip in Greece. Added bonus- a family owned spot.

Poor experience. Ate here twice. Once for lunch and once for dinner. Was ok for a quick lunch but the dinner we wished we had gone elsewhere. Fish badly cooked, very limited wine offerings, missing the atmosphere of other restaurants in Kamares and unfriendly, unprofessional staff. Definitely not up to the standards of the food and hospitality in Sifnos. We won’t return or recommend. Also even though is a taverna, prices aren’t much cheaper than other places.

The location is stunning. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Almost everything we ate was very good. Do not get the chocolate tart. You are setting yourself up for heartache. It’s rubbish (lacking in flavor, texture and any kind of indulgence), it’s way more expensive than the orange cake, it’s 1/4 the size of the orange cake and the orange cake is amazing. The grilled cheese was very nice, but could do with some of the sauce that comes with the churros as a dipping option. The place is very spendy. London prices in Greece is kind of wild. But the pork was cooked to perfection. The churros were a show stopper and the gyoza was an interesting and cool take on classic Greek cuisine. All that being said, it was odd that every table around us was given some kind of clear mystery drink in a stemmed glass upon paying their bills, but we were not afforded that luxury.

Absolutely delicious and fresh Greek food! We loved everything we ordered — fresh tomato salad (always), the comforting orzo, and the perfectly grilled fish. The side of sea vegetable with the fish was such a pleasant surprise; as someone from Asia, I was instantly reminded of the “wok hey” we associate with truly great cooking — such a good sign! The view from our table was amazing! (if you arrive early you get to pick where you wanna sit), and the warm, friendly staff made us feel genuinely welcome. We ended up spending almost two and a half hours, just soaking in the atmosphere. It was a wonderful dining experience and a highlight of our Sifnos trip — highly recommended!

What a delight. It was such a glorious setting on the beach that's the ticket. The food was a little over priced but was exceptional flavours that came out of it. The service was amazing and the vibe on the beach was so good with a sense of space and allowing the experience to.dine with sand underfoot a real treat

A very nice dinner experience overlooking the sea. We really loved the starters and sharing with friends. The main dishes are very consistent and better to be shared. A great location with friendly service!

One of the tastiest restaurants in Sifnos! We had a quick lunch and we tried the seafood orzo and chips. Both amazing! Cocktails were tasty. It is next to the beach and has amazing atmosphere. The staff is friendly

This place was lovely, service great but food fell a little short of our expectations. The short rib was a little salty and dry, the gyoza and the red shrimp oshizushi lacked a little flavour despite the lovely presentation …we loved the grilled octopus and crab cacio e pepe …we will definitely come again, and thanks to our fantastic waitress!

This was our most expensive lunch on the island because of this fish but wow, this fish! Grilled so beautifully and seasoned well - I will be reminiscing for years to come. We did order a total of 4 items + drinks for 2 people over a couple hours, so the big tab was worth it. We even took quick dips in the sea between dishes. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and never hurried. Such a lovely experience!

Beautiful location and incredible during sunset. Wines are so expensive but I think it’s intentional to make you stay for one wine and leave or spend a small fortune. Worth a visit if you can get a booking or wait in the line.

Loggia Wine Bar is truly amazing when it comes to landscape and atmosphere — the view alone makes it worth a visit. However, the service could be improved a lot, which would really elevate the whole experience. The food was just okay; for example, the cheese plate cost 10€ but only came with four small strips, which felt strange. I had made a reservation 1.5 months in advance, and I definitely recommend booking ahead if you don’t want to wait. Overall, it’s worth going for the spectacular view, but not for the culinary experience or the friendliness of the staff.

Atmosphere is amazing and so romantic. You have a panoramic view of Aegean sea which is very beautiful. Service could have been improved alot. They kept people waiting in the queue even though they had free people just to show off that they are busy. Staff behaviour is mixed, there is a nice guy which is welcoming however a younge french lady which is super rude to guests! Also, prices are so high and they even expect a tip for that price!!

Get a table before sunset — watching the island slowly fade into dusk has been one of our favorite experiences. The service is fantastic, the food selection is precise and absolutely delicious, and last but not least, the wine list. They offer an extensive yet carefully curated selection that can satisfy every palate. On top of that, their knowledgeable sommelier is always ready to guide you through the details and pairings.

Our group of 5 had a 9pm reservation on a Friday night and it was the highlight of our trip to Sifnos. We had Bertram waiting on us and we loved his suggestions of bottles, all served with a detailed explanation of the wines and what to expect. They were all delicious - the vibes are high and the location is unbeatable.

Great wine. Great view. We didn't eat, but the food looked great too. Definitely a must-go if you like to have a good time.

Rude staff, completely uninterested in us, had to call them multiple times to grab their attention, while noticing they gave special treatments to older and money-bringing clients. Overall insanely pricey for the amount of food, which was indeed outstanding, but the rest of the experience made it regrettably bitter for us.

Our best dinner in Sifnos! The atmosphere was absolutely spectacular, and each dish was uniquely prepared with such creativity and care. A truly unforgettable experience — highly recommended!

The food and the location are wonderful. We had a nice range of dishes with seafood and meat and some excellent vegetable dishes. The fish was superbly cooked with a crisp skin and soft inside. The service I expected the be a bit more attentive at this price level. At times there was quite some waiting between dishes and it took a while to order dessert. The dining area is located outside and it can be a bit windy. We were in a very good spot though and the views is marvellous. Overall a very enjoyable experience, would definitely go again. But overall a very

Hi there! Thank you for everything! The whole experience was delightful. From a fine dining perspective, it was by far the best food, atmosphere, and service on the island. Congratulations to everyone who planted the seed that grew into this amazing result. Just outstanding! 🏆💚🌱✨

Think cliffside elegance with views that make you stop in your tracks. Bostani is the kind of restaurant that truly captures the magic of dining in Sifnos—picturesque, refined, and deeply rooted in the island’s culinary traditions. A rare gem that’s an absolute must for any traveler visiting the island. Inspired by the home garden it’s named after, Bostani takes a seasonal, ingredient-driven approach to Sifnian cuisine. Much of the produce is grown onsite or sourced from trusted farms across Sifnos and the Cyclades, which makes every dish feel deeply connected to the land. We dined as a group of 11 and took full advantage of the share-style menu, ordering nearly every dish so we could try it all. Highlights from our entrees included the beef tartare, tomatoes with strawberries, green salad, zucchini, calamari, and the local chickpeas. For mains, we savored the lobster mac & cheese, pork, goat, fish of the day, and prime rib—each dish expertly prepared and beautifully presented. To finish, we couldn’t resist trying all three desserts: the Ekmek Kadaifi, orange pie, and milk pie. We paired our meal with a few bottles of the Oros white dry wine from Akrathos Newlands Winery, which complemented everything perfectly. With a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere and guests of all ages, Bostani is ideal for families, couples, or groups. It’s a truly special dining experience that celebrates the heart and soul of Sifnian food.

What an amazing restaurant! Definitely a must go in Sifnos. Amazing view and very tasty dishes. The salad was OK, probably it lacked taste a bit probably because the tasteless tomatoes. And the ekmek kadayifi was fine, but I would expect a different dish, but apparently Greeks do it this way with custard. The chickpea and the lobster mac and cheese pasta were really good. We also liked the cocktails and the wine selection.

Simply Amazing! This is fine dining at its best. From the second we arrived we had outstanding service, and we could get all the meals to share between the two of us. We ordered 2 starters, 2 main dishes, and 2 signature cocktails. Bostani did not dissappoint. The food really showed Sifnos' reputation of great food culture. All employees were very kind. The atmosphere was also wonderful. We pretty much got our next dish before finishing the previous one, but it was not stressful in any way, just good service.

Short story: food ok/good, service bad and arrogant, ambiente great, a place for instagram people… Long story: We booked a table online, and due to the short notice, confirmation via WhatsApp was fast. We added in the field „dietary restrictions“ that one of us doesn‘t eat fish. We got a great table with a beautiful view and were approached by a young waiter(1) handing us the menu and asking for allergies. We confirmed that one of the guests did not eat fish. It was not an allergy but personal preference. Other than expected, the „a la carte“ menu was different than the one in their website. Instead of waiter 1 showing up again, it took ages and waiter 2 showed up and explained that the menu online was from last year. Anyway. We ordered inter alia bread and butter. Waiter 3 brought the starters, while waiter 4 collected the plates afterwards. While finishing the bread I wondered what “Bottarga” was, googled it, and found out it is fish roe. It was the orange stuff on the butter. I confronted waiter 4 who started to argue a bit but also wanted to double check it with her colleagues. Waiter 1 arrived again to ask again if it’s a personal preference or allergy and then told us they only remove things if it’s an allergy. We once again pointed out it was also written in the dietary restriciton with our reservation. Waiter 1 then tried to explain that fish roe (Bottarga) is not fish, just a product from the fish and we are wrong. We’re still shocked that a waiter tries to explain to a lawyer that something that is cut out of the fish’s belly is not fish. Bostani waiters should check how bottarga is made. It’s the roe string extracted from the fish’s belly. For me, it still counts as fish if someone says he doesn’t like fish! Mistakes happen, but the question is how you deal with it. The waiter 4 preferred to argue, telling us that “Bottarga” was written in the menu and did not give any sign of being sorry or that it was a mistake. Since we wanted to enjoy the evening together, we did not google every word on the menu prior ordering and kept our phones in the pockets and relied on the waiter to guide and help. But the waiters at Bostani are rather a faceless dinner-plate-shuttle than professional and hospitable. Waiter 5 served the main course, the pork was ok (overpriced), the fish was very good to be honest. Many waiters walked by, no waiter asked how the food tasted in between, no waiter filled the glasses and when we finished no waiter felt responsible to take care of the finished plates. Waiter 3 which we hadn’t really talked to so far, showed up and cleaned the table. We also asked for the bill. Waiter 2 showed up with the bill which had 2 drinks on it which we never ordered nor consumed and walked away. After some minutes waiter 2 showed up again, took the bill and came back with a new bill, this time corrected. In crowd control and conflict solving, the option “face change” is sometimes used to solve problems between two people or parties. Bostani uses the option “face change” to create problems and conflicts. During the payment process I gave the advice that with only one face this problem would not have arisen, but once again, I was wrong and waiter 2 told me this is not the concept of the restaurant. If waiter 1 would’ve served the food, she could’ve known that there is Fish on the butter which one doesn’t like. If waiter 1 would’ve brought the bill, she would’ve known that these drinks did not belong to our bill. If waiter 1 would’ve taken care of us this evening she would’ve deserved tip, if 5 waiters show up, I don’t tip since I don’t know who to tip. What we expected? - 1 friendly and professional waiter - good food - a manager that shows up to take responsibility for mistakes that happens What we enjoyed the most? - the way home to Stamna Hotel with the knowledge that we’re going to have a great breakfast the morning after. Perhaps we were not „fancy“ enough to fit in this concept and also to know what “Bottarga” is by heart… but the attitude of the waiters is unacceptable.

I enjoyed the place for its atmosphere and vibes; it had lovely decor, well-presented dishes, and interesting flavors. It might be a bit overpriced as some were small portions, but I guess that’s expected from a more gourmet-style restaurant. I recommend order different dishes and share!

It's one of the few times i feel sorry that I can't put si stars. This is a true art experience. Don't worry about the size of the portions or the price. There are burgers that cost more than one of these plates. Come to Cayenne if you want to feel the explosion of your taste buds around archaic and super modern combinations of savours. The chef is an artist. You only need to embrace his art and let yourself travel in a journey of taste. One of my top restaurants in the past ten years.

The perfect place for when you are not in the mood for traditional tavern greek food in Greece haha! Delicious different flavors that actually had us saying mmmm outloud (not kidding)! Helpful and kind staff that took the time to go above and beyond and beautiful view of course!!!

Without doubt the best food I ate during my week on Sifnos. Inventive and delicious, some of the dishes, particularly the Tuna Tartare were worthy of a Michelin star restaurant. Other highlights included the Scallops and an incredible mushroom risotto. Wonderful attentive service too and a great sense of passion and pride for their food, rightly so! Outstanding quality all round.

An amazing experience at Cayenne ! And a big part of it was because of the waiter Dimitris. Great food, cozy, beautiful artwork from the chef both on walls and in the plates. Dimitris has been extremely helpful with our 2 children and made our evening special. Thank you !

Food was tasty, but way to pricey for what you get (lacking some on flavors, and definitely on portion size). Service was friendly, and the place itself and atmosphere is also really nice. However, we left with a negative feeling as we felt a bit ripped off due to how overpriced everything is compared to other places on the island (eg: small coke is 5€, 5 tiny pieces of halloumi 12€). We also had to go for dessert somewhere else to feel satisfied due to small portions.

My view is that this is a place for tourists. There wasn’t anything BAD, everything was fine - but the prices are too high for what you get. The portions are small (for example, the chicken says on the menu that you get 400g but it was 200g AT BEST, and I did mention this but the waiter disagreed and suggested that it gets smaller when cooked and therefore looks much less - but I don’t buy that, like I also cook chicken at home). Other dishes were good (the fish dishes tasted really nice), but for 30 euros, a half piece of fish and some lentils isn’t gonna cut it. The drinks are also priced a bit off - €4 for still water that is €2 everywhere else in town; €5 for a coke that is usually max €3 elsewhere on the Island. This place sticks out a bit because Sifnos doesn’t really have restaurants that make you feel like you’re being just a little bit ripped off. Unfortunately we left with that feeling a bit. I think the fundamentals here are good - but my suggestion is to take the pattern of feedback in the reviews seriously and make some adjustments.

Excellent food. Perhaps the best Greek salad we have had in Greece! Great view and affordable

This was one of the best meals I’ve had in Greece. I went by myself so I was only able to have two dishes. Both were spectacular. The pork souvlaki was perfectly cooked. Tender and well seasoned. The revitha, a chickpea soup and traditional dish of Sifnos, was next level. Simple ingredients in expert hands can become wonders.

Great food, a lot of signing specialties and good service. They have great wines especially the one with Assyrtico and Sauvignon.

We did the trail from.Kastros to the Faros and then visited the monastery. We went to the restaurant on a recommendation from our host. We loved it. For wine, beer, water, 1 starter, 2 main dishes and 2 desserts we paid around ~80€ - including tip. The had a table directly by the water, it was quiet and the food great. 100% recommend taking a lamb dish, but also enjoyed the pork with honey a lot. If we visit Sifnos again, this restaurant is 100% on our list.

Sifnos has a lot of taverns like this one but their tastes were special. Loved the grilled calamari and the chickpea dish. The staff were friendly

What a fantastic place. Superb location on the beach and super tasty food.

Great location right on the waterfront with a magnificent view towards the monastery perched on the rock.

I almost don’t want to share this place — it’s that good. Perfect Greek home cooking with fresh, flavorful ingredients, all made in a wood-fired oven. Ask about off-menu veggies (the spinach with lemon is amazing), and don’t miss the giant beans. The staff are lovely, and the setting is beautiful on a warm summer evening. A true hidden gem.

We had an amazing dinner at Kelari restaurant. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, we walked in and were seated straight away. The traditional lamb mastelo was full of flavour and so tender! Cooked to perfection. The lamb chops were absolutely delicious and a great portion size. The service was great and staff are very friendly. Kelari is a must visit! Would recommend 1000% during your stay in Sifnos.

Very nice local restaurant with tasteful dishes. They use fresh and good quality ingridients. We visit this restaurant during our staying in sifnos the last 4 years and the quality remains excellent. We have tried traditional cooked dishes and lamb chops. You should do a table reservation and extra reservation for lamb chops the last 2 years (which we find extremely ridiculous). You have to try Imam. The staff are really friendly and overall is a pleasant experience!!

This restaurant is a must if you are in Sifnos. Very fresh and authentic- I felt like I was eating at my Yiayia’s house. The owner and staff are very warm and welcoming. 10/10!

Off the beaten track, in the small hamlet of Kato Petali (walking distance from Apollonia or Artemonas), with a beautiful outdoor terrace covered by green plants, sits Kelari restaurant. Authentic Greek food, gracious/ hard-working waitstaff - simple but delicious food , very reasonably priced (try the tiropitakia). Tip: need a reservation, we saw several parties turned away, who did not have one.

We had dinner at Kelari in Sifnos and really enjoyed the experience. The food was of great quality, full of flavour, and very well cooked. Portion sizes were generous, making it excellent value compared to many other places. The outdoor setting is beautifully done, with a stylish Cycladic feeling that creates a very pleasant atmosphere for dining. The staff were friendly and professional, though it was clear towards the end of the evening that they were tired. We were the last customers, and while it’s understandable that the team wanted to wrap up and go home, it was a little too obvious that they were waiting for us to leave. A touch more subtlety would have made the ending smoother. Overall, though, a very good restaurant with delicious food and a lovely environment — definitely worth visiting.

This was my favorite meal in Sifnos. The chick pea soup is a must. We also had the lamb braised in red wine and sausage with feta. Mom and Pop cooking in the back. Nice wait staff and I hope to come back someday again.

There is nothing quite like Perivoli. I’m basing all my visits to Sifnos around dining here. The people are incredible, the food, divine! The atmosphere is beyond. Farm to table, ages to perfection steaks, lobster perfection??? Deserts to make you cry with joy??? This is your place. There are many reasons I dined here 3 out of 10 days for dinner. My lovely server even came by on her day off to wish me well on my journey home. Come here, become family. And prepare to eat more than your stomach & eyes can handle. I highly recommend having a starving belly. Drink the indigenous wine with the local fare, they go together. Look for some lovely katydids in the trees and listen to the soothing resonance of night reverberations.

Exquisite atmosphere, delightful and attentive staff. Delicious and well presented food. Loaded with flavour and colour. Best restaurant we’ve experienced in a week on Sifnos. Do try it for yourselves.

We had dinner here during sunset and we fell in love with the place. The food was amazing, we shared a couple of starters and a main dish. The grilled aubergine and their fresh version of calamari was really good. But the pasta with veal tail was out if this world, it was the best meal we've had in a long time!

Totally recommended: definitely one of the best restaurants in Sifnos! Atmosphere, food and service 10 out of 10. Thank you, we will return-)

we had a wonderful dinner experience here! food was exquisite: - housemade sourdough bread and butter: some of the best bread we’ve had on Sifnos, and the butter (sun-dried tomato? cheese?) was a delightful surprise - calamari: such a great combination of flavors, roasted kale (we missed kale so much), artichoke, grilled generous pieces of squid, and a bright sauce with a lovely citrus note. outstanding dish - grilled chicken: also very delicious, mushroom soufflé was alright but the chicken was just perfect, perfectly cooked with a delicious glaze we weren’t too hungry so we ordered light but the portions were good sizes! for the quality of food, beautiful setting, and attentive service, the price was reasonable. also loved the delicious house made strawberry vodka they provided on the house at the end of the meal! 10/10 recommend coming here while you’re in Sifnos

I expected a lot more than this from this place. The dishes were OK but nothing too special. Their price range is at fine dining levels but the food and the service you get is not sadly.

We were extremely disappointed with our experience at Perivoli. Despite having a reservation, we waited 30 minutes to be seated. The only highlight was the salad, which was fresh and well-prepared. However, the main courses were significantly delayed, and when they arrived, the meats were completely wrong in terms of cooking. The staff's attitude made things worse; they offered no apologies or even basic courtesy. I understand restaurants can have off days, but the lack of accountability or kindness was unacceptable.

Very nice family of fishermen. You select your fish on entry to the restaurant so be prepared! They pointed out a fish that their son had caught 10 mins prior off the pier. Service was personable and very friendly. Great stuff :)

Wonderful dinner! Captain Sifakis is a true fish tavern, family-owned restaurant and super nice service. As we entered we had the chance to choose our fish (caught during the same day by the brother of the owner) and they cooked it as we wanted, the price was really affordable for the great quality that we got. last two pros: the super attentive service ( they offered us an handmade tuna as we sat at the table and a wonderful little dessert as we finished the dinner) and the stunning view. probably the best dinner here in Sifnos

It was one of the best meals we had in Sifnos, with spectacular views. You choose your fresh fish of the day, and they cook it for you! Delicious and generous!

Amazing food, all fish is fresh and you get a taste of the real Greek cuisine and hospitality! The people are very polite, service is fast and the vibe really nice. I highly recommend the place, also an amazing view 😊

We went for dinner and the main issue for us was the price and the service: we paid way to much for what we ate and for the quality of the food. The fish was fresh but really badly cooked, water coffee and beer extremely overpriced. The service was quite sad and unprofessional. The location could be nice if better arranged and if the service would take care more. I liked the moussaka out of everything it wasn’t bad

Captain Sifakis was such a special and authentic dining experience. As soon as we arrived, we were taken to choose our fish, freshly caught that day by the owner himself — his fishing boat is moored just out the front, which really sets the tone. We chose the snapper, which was cooked to perfection and paired simply with potatoes and a Greek salad. Everything was fresh, honest, and delicious. The setting is beautiful, right on the water, and while the service was just okay, the whole experience felt so real and unpolished in the best way. We thoroughly enjoyed it — a true Sifnos highlight.

Best meal in Sifnos! When you reach the restaurant you'll choose the fresh fish you're going to eat. Amazing service and food is AMAZING. Must eat in Sifnos!

Incredibly delicious food with local ingredients. The family working there was very welcoming and friendly. If you're and adventurous eater,I still dream of the grilled goat livers. The chef also included hearts that really sent the dish over the top.

The food was full of flavour and the service and atmosphere are charming. We had the saganaki, dakos, rabbit stew, and sticky date pudding with drinks - great value for such a wonderful meal. I wish we had time to return!

Amazing restaurant - the service was excellent and the head waiter was very knowledgeable on local cuisine, history and animals. The food was also delicious and seemed very traditional (based on our experience although we are not Greek). Definitely recommend eating here for a peaceful dinner with ocean sounds and chirping of birds.

The BEST of Sifnos!!!!! Sadly we left this place for last on our trip, otherwise we would have come back multiple times for dinner. Local dishes with fresh harvested herbs and homemade recipes make the whole experience amazing. And the chef makes sure that he’s the one picking up your order and explaining all dishes. Make sure you order TODAY’S SPECIAL for the freshest meals!! Highly recommend to all food lovers and good food appreciators 🩵

Cute little farm to table restaurant in Sifnos. Beautiful little court yard. Our food was amazing, so fresh and full of flavour. Staff were attentive, provided recommendations and were all very lovely. Great dining experience ! I will definitely be back.

Amazing home made food with fresh local ingredients and herbs; attentive and kind service; amazing place to come for a drink to watch the sunset and dine.

Food was delicious, charming atmosphere and the owner and staff were so kind! Highly recommend!

Overall a nice place to enjoy your drink and/or grab a bite. The atmosphere and the view makes it a very cozy place. The food was good, we ordered the Mediterranean Club Sandwich and the Quinoa salad. The quantities were fair to the prices, but I would prefer to have fresh grilled mushrooms in the Club Sandwich instead of canned (but that's subjective to each ones' taste preferences). The coffee we ordered was good as well. For the food, coffees and 1 bottle of water we paid 40,30 euro. The service was good also, but the waiters could become a bit more engaged by greeting the customers first rather than waiting for the customer to speak first. I definitely recommend the place!

We visited lost bay last week. Unfortunately, the food was from mediocre to even bad. We waited very long (50mins) for a plate of plain kids pasta that came without being properly boiled (and I mean you could break the pasta in 2). When we returned it, the pasta that we got was boiled but no flavor at all, no salt nor olive oil. The extra expensive Greek salad had no tomatoes to eat, because they were just tops of tomatoes and peels of tomatoes. Everything was good with drinks and coffee. Eventually, we were refunded for the food, but it really ruined all the good vibes and energy of our 1st day in the island.

We had cocktails before our dinner somewhere else. It was tasty and the atmosphere of the place is really good

Edit summer 2024: To my surprise while not much have changed regarding the llace itself the menu the service and the quality are definitely there. I Believe that in this area, this is your best all around option! Old review summer 2022: I believe this to be the best looking beach bar in the area, coffee was surprisingly good, mojito was average though. Service was friendly but not fast. However these are not reasons not to visit. I believe you will like the place.

We went for a quick drink and ended up staying three hours. It's a really pretty, open-air bar right on the beach. Terrific music (for an old hippie)! Service was very accommodating when we asked to switch tables. And they surprised us with an extra little cheese tray, which was a very nice treat. Sifnos - and the Lost Bay - became a favorite place in the Cyclades.

Wow! What a gem we accidentally found here. Other places on the beach were trying to charge €40-50 per lounge chair just to sit so we walked along the beach and found this spot. He said they normally ask for a minimum consumption of €100 for the bed (for 2 people) for the day, but since they weren’t expecting a busy day we could sit and not worry about a minimum consumption. We arrived around 11am and was there until 5:00pm. Several rounds of drinks and an amazing club sandwich and it was €99. We started with some Freddo espressos, then transitioned to the hard stuff. Aperol Spritz all day. They were great. We shared a chicken club sandwich and even two of us couldn’t eat all the potatoes they sent. It was so good! We saw other food our neighbors ordered and the bao wraps looked great too! The day beds were super comfy and I think we both napped a little bit. The beach itself was super nice. Calm waters and sandy. No water shoes were required. We had a young gentleman from Athens as our server and he was so great. Very friendly and attentive. Best beach spot on Sifnos!

I would consider Lost Bay the best beach bar at Platis Gialos Beach. Its got limited sunbeds at the front, but lots of table seating in the back. It's best to come early (open at 10am) to get a seat. One thing to note is that they don't have umbrellas at the sunbeds. The only shade you'll get is after 12:30pm on 2 or 3 sunbeds on the far right hand side sunbeds as you're facing the beach. Overall a great place to relax and enjoy a nice cocktail and some lunch.

Nice place with view on the valley, relaxing atmosphere, food was good. I gave them 4 stars as I would have loved to receive the order at once, there was almost 20 mints between the orders. But the flavors were delicious and the juices were fresh and nice. Pro tip, play a play list instead of one song on the repeat 😉

Terrible brunch experience. The coffee tasted awful. I ordered a yogurt bowl for €8.50 — barely any oats, like they just sprinkled a few on top as decoration. Maybe five strawberries total. Then came the omelette: everything inside was raw. Canned mushrooms thrown in cold, low-quality ham with a weird texture. No effort at all, just cheap ingredients thrown together. Totally overpriced. Feels like a tourist trap. Honestly insulting. Never again.

This place is really special. If you approach it by the main road, by the bus stop, it looks nice, but you really need to go into the terrace to appreciate how lovely it is. If you enter from the back you enter a stunning enclosed garden/patio. This establishment is a patisserie, tony shop and restaurant. They stock a huge selection of homemade treats, and you can watch them make and package these goodies by hand. They also have a lovely wine shop next door, €10 for a very nice wine. The first time we went we had a croissant and coffee. The croissant was HUGE, delicious and warm. The lovely, blonde owner said that as we were there at 8:00am we got to enjoy them fresh from the oven - bliss. The coffee was wonderful, and served with a delicious cinnamon biscuit. These were so delicious I bought a big bag of them. We came back another day for lunch and had a superb chicken club, huge. The glass of wine I had was delicious and generous. Highly recommended.

Great selection of pastries and sweets as well as ice-cream. The prices are comparable to others and the added element is the friendly and helpful staff. A very nice experience.

Cakes and sweets are quality chocolate here and the service is lovely. Angelo helped us out each day we came. He is wonderful.

Great sweets with the traditional recipes. The chocolate pie with vanilla ice-cream was amazing and the staff was very helpful and kind.

This note is strictly for the coffee and breakfast. 8.50 euros for a bowl of yogourt and a sprinkle of un cooked Oats is not acceptable. Not even in Switzerland (where i live) do you get this kind of value for money. "Spécial omelette" with fresh vegeatbles for 11 euros that comes out with tinned Mushrooms and 2 thin slices of raw Peppers, once again is shocking. Not ok. Even if you're in a touristy area you should still aim to serve good food especially if you're going to put a ridiculous price for it.

This is a very cute and quiet place in the small town. We stopped here to check out the location during our exploring. We ended up getting some coffee and ice coffees to go. The service was good and so were the coffees. This is a small quiet restaurant. It is very cute, right on the water.

DO NOT BELIEVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS! Do expect: a fully authentic small local fishing village taverna. The food was delicious, the view is something that people travel half way around the world for. Come with plenty of time, relaxed, and ready to enjoy a slow pace and a beautiful waterfront view. As a small local taverna there is one gentlemen that is half owner/manager/head cook and a women who is taking care of all the tables. The gentlemen will show you all of the fresh fish that are left that were caught same day. Both work hard to ensure you have a delicious meal. When you walk up, do not expect to be greeted by a hostess or someone to seat you. Get the eye of the server and point to an open table. You will get a yes or no. If you wait…you will wait forever as is normal. Enjoy this treat!

Unique location by the sea. Fried small fish was really fresh, the Greek salad with mizithra cheese was amazing . Marinated octopus 🐙 was also very tasty! Definitely a must visit for lunch by the sea shore!!!

We loved this little tavern. Yes, you are on a lesser know Greek island in a sleepy seaside village (very small), EVERYTHING moves slower. Including the service. But come on, just relax and take in what is around you. This place is an absolute gem for the tired soul. The staff are very friendly and the owner is such a pleasure! We loved the food although we are by no means foodies, I can just say we loved both meals we had during our time in the area. Excellent fresh fish. Good wine!!

Fantastic local restaurant in a beautiful setting. We’ve eaten here in August and despite of being high season we only had to wait 5 min to get a table, the staff is nice and the food is local and very fresh, fish and seafood direct from the boat from the owner, what else can you ask for? The price is a bit higher than a local tavern but you are in a secluded place so doesn’t surprise me.

Positives: The tavern is undeniably located in a beautiful setting. Negatives: Unfortunately, we had to wait over 45 minutes before any food began to arrive. One of the two main dishes never came, and we eventually had to cancel it. The food quality was average at best—there are definitely better tavern options on the island. I would not suggest it, but the only two taverns in this place make it a bit tricky not to sit and eat there :(

This is absolutely one place you should not miss on your trip to Sifnos. The fish is cooked impeccably, the location is surreal and the owner is still cooking in the ways his mother taught him years ago. Do not miss a chance to eat here!

Lunch by the beach in Sifnos. Nice place, good food, great setting. Everything was solid and I had a good time. Just needed a bit more care in the service and dishes to hit five stars. Still, a place I’d recommend.

Lovely lunch spot on the beach! We got there just as they opened at 1 pm and by time we left about an hour later, every table was full. Served fairly quickly. Yummy Greek salad (now a staple for us at every meal) and the local chickpea soup special. Delicious and comforting. With a basket of bread this was more than enough for two. Varied menu. A little $ than some other places on island but delicious.

Excellent food and good portion sizes, we had lamb, meatballs, calamari, salad and olive balls Sadly let down a bit by the service as we hardly saw our waitress, restaurant was packed and maybe just a few too many tables per staff

The food here is absolutely amazing! The prices are incredibly reasonable, and the portions are huge. We had the moussaka, which was incredible, and one of the best fried calamari I’ve ever had. The anchovies were to die for, and the Greek salad was fresh and delicious.

One of the best taverns in Sifnos, for sure. Decent salad, fries and saganaki. Grilled calamari was really tasty. But the star of the show was definitely the chocolate cake. It was very simple and sugary but it blew my mind. It was great

Lovely staff, lovely food, lovely location. Best restaurant in Platis Gialos. Traditional, local family, very greek. No posh uniforms, no loud music & not expensive! Hopefully be back soon.

Very traditional restaurant right on the beach. Definitely try grilled octopus - soft, delicious. Greek salad was really nice and we had beef in tomato sauce and it was tasty very aromatic. Seating on the beach but in comfy shadow from trees.

Charming spot on a busy street. This restaurant has a nice atmosphere and a lively location. The food was enjoyable overall, though it leaned slightly toward a more commercialized style rather than truly authentic flavors. We tried the chickpea croquettes, mushrooms with halloumi, and chicken skewers

Went on our first night at Sifnos and had such a great experience that we came back on our last night! Tried many different dishes and have to highlight the tomato salad. The best we ate in Greece so far. The service was polite and the overall experience was amazing.

Drakakis is a charming spot with a cozy atmosphere. The food is absolutely lovely, and the wine selection is great. Spiros, our waiter, is a fantastic person - we had such a lovely chat with him! The restaurant sits on a busy street, but it’s not noisy, and we even enjoyed the company of some chill cats hanging around. Prices are a bit on the high end, but the overall experience is totally worth it.

This was one of the best dining experiences in Sifnos. The place is nestled in the heart of Apollonia, it retains the original style and features of the Kafeneyo refreshed with curated photography and some modern design. This is also reflected on the menu, traditional with a modern twist. The food was amazing, fresh, tasty and served in generous portions. The wine selection includes interesting options, we had a pet nat from Santorini that was excellent. Spiro was super kind, friendly and helpful! Thank you for a lovely night !

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner in Apollonia! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Spiros, who served us, was an absolute delight – friendly, attentive, and even spoke Spanish, which made the evening even more enjoyable and comfortable. Every dish we tried was simply delicious. The flavors were fresh, authentic, and beautifully prepared. From starters to main courses, everything exceeded our expectations, and it was clear that great care and passion went into the cooking. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to enjoy a relaxed and memorable meal. This restaurant is truly a must-visit on the island. Between the amazing food, excellent service, and Spiros’ exceptional hospitality, our dinner here was one of the highlights of our trip. We will definitely be coming back on our next visit to Sifnos!

I’ve had a fair amount of dolmas, but these were the most tender and well spiced I’ve ever had. My husband and I stopped here multiple times for the dolmas alone, but everything we ate was delicious. Make sure to get the dolmas and the halloumi mushroom meze. We also got the zucchini balls, Greek salad, and meatballs - a must eat for Sifnos!

BEST meal in Sifnos. Cannot recommend the food, atmosphere or the service more highly. Go and see for yourself. great greek flavours with a twist. we will be back!!

Best local taverna we’ve visited on Sifnos (so far) considering the location - Quintessentially Greek! Food was good - A generous Greek salad and freshly caught fish, which unfortunately was slightly overcooked. 100% worth visiting!

You’re spending almost all your day at the beach.. sun-kissed and quite sleepy.. you are ready to go back yo your hotel but this side table of this tavern right next to the sea cannot let you go just like that.. you sit, order a beer (take the draft) and then something to eat.. they specialize in meat so focus there - i loved their moussaka- .. and look at the sea, alongside with some lovely lazy cats, and your soul will thank you later.. little bonus, old time classic greek music in the background makes your soundtrack of the day.. creating your precious memory that will last..💖

Great food, service and atmosphere. But non-Greek speakers, double check your bill to not get overcharged.

We spent a week on Sifnos and this place provided us with our best meal. We were eating traditional Greek food and didn't try the expensive new Greek restaurants with crusted seafood and cevichie! We had the best zucchini balls .... we tried them in about 5 other places. The grilled prawns were fresh and amazing. Frozen in so many other places. The chicken soulvaki was huge and marinated in mild mustard. We enjoyed the food, the service and the setting of the restaurant. We would happily return.

Amazing place on the beach. The best chick pea soup on the island (but only served on Sundays, and remember too reserve your table AND the soup)

Fantastic. Beautiful spot on the waters edge and the food was great. We ended up going twice and both nights had a great evening. Very reasonable pricing too. 100% must go when in Vathi.

We were so disappointed, the service was not good, to the point the waiter seemed almost annoyed he had to actually serve us! We felt unnerved as whilst we were waiting (a long time) to actually place our order, a customer was querying their bill as their card had been charged twice. The restaurant were not prepared to refund her. I almost walked out at this point, I wished we had as the food we were eventually served was the worst I have experienced in the whole of the island. The lamb was old, tough and just a plate of bones and fat. We sent it back. The anchovies were dry,I did not want to risk eating and how you can go wrong with a greek salad I do not know. The feta was old, the tomato's hard and tasteless. Cut corners on the quality of the produce you use and it shows. The filo sesame cheese the worst I have ever had. We paid cash as we were to scared to use a card. Avoid at all cost.

The very best. Thank you for looking after us in the storm that hit! Fantastic pizza, wine and company! Highly recommended. Molto Bene xx

Cute Italian resturant right on the water. Big menu with lots of appetisers, pizzas and pastas. Food came out quickly and was fresh and delicious. We ordered 3 pizzas and a pasta. Everything was amazing! Service was great and staff were friendly. Highly recommend if you’re wanting good Italian food.

Very nice seaside Italian restaurant in Kamares. The pizza was very tasty we tried also a salad and a starter and they were delicious as well. The staff was very friendly and we recommend reservation in high season as the number of tables is limited. Overall a nice experience!!

Here's a story about a Neapolitan Pizza expert that moves to Sifnos and make possibly the tastiest pizza in the world. When in Sifnos do not miss Passione Italiana. I want to have the pasta but I just can't resist the pizza. The staff is so friendly too. We love this restaurant especially when you have a table by the water. ❤️

Loved this place! Had a delicious arugula salad with grated cheese and a classic “Special” pizza with red sauce, ham, mushrooms and peppers. A little seaside view and tourist watching. Complimentary Lemoncella at the end of meal. Super friendly service!

Seated by the water you get to enjoy most beautiful pizzas. The dough was the best we’ve ever had. Highly recommend the Mortadella. The staff were so friendly and lovely. If you are craving Italian in Greece, come here!!!

We visit specifically because a lot of people praised their tiramisu, and oh boy they were right! Creamy, tasty and down right unique. While this was the reason we visited we ordered two plates of pasta and a salad. The salad itself was great, flavorful and about the right amount that you would expect. The past while not bad definitely not the best we had, mine was a bit hard to honest, but the hospitality and the service do deserve a 5/5. All in all, ii recommend it and i will revisit when i get back at Sifnos. 🙏

We got.off the ferry and were hungry. We came across O Simos and they had beautiful outdoor seating on the water. The food was very good. The service was excellent! The food came out hot and the presentation was good. The chickpea soup was very good, even though it wasn't Sunday. A great spot to have lunch or dinner. I would recommend.

I was not sure if to leave a review as I kind of wanted to keep this magic place to myself ❣️ In the crowd of all the people leaving and arriving is Sifnos, stands this tavern in the Main Street. All the personnel is smiley and gracious and really nice. Food is delicious, in the name of tradition but fresh, yummy and very very good

Had our first meal in Sifnos here and it was perfect. Right by the water, traditional Greek dishes that were absolutely delicious, and the staff were super friendly. Great vibe and great good !

Our absolute favourite restaurant in all of Greece, stayed in sifnos for 5 days and came here every single night because nothing compared!! The food was just so fresh and tasty and every new dish we tried was just as good as the last. The servers were so kind and attentive and the vibe of the restaurant right over the water felt just magical. Quite affordable for the quality of the food as well. We’d specifically recommend the mousaka, the sardines, fried cheese and fried squid. We cannot recommend this beautiful place enough, everyone should dine here during their time in sifnos!

Lovely dinner. Had the best chick pea soup. And my wife enjoyed her moussaka. Friendly as with everywhere in the lovely village.

The best of Kamaras in summer 2026 with traditional cooked food. We ordered Revithada (chickpeas soup) and some starters they were really good. Very friendly staff and quick service. Highly recommend! By the seaside.

Walked here right after arriving off of the ferry. Perfect location, excellent food and friendly service. Beautiful view from table overlooking the beach. Would highly recommend.

From farm table this little restaurant serves delicious local food. The lamb chops were amazing. The daughter who is the service speaks very good English and is a delight.

While wandering through the charming streets of Kastro after visiting the little church perched on the cliffside, we stumbled upon Astro Taverna — a beautiful, inviting spot that instantly caught our eye. A short climb up the stairs led us to a small balcony dotted with tables and chairs, overlooking the picturesque surroundings. The atmosphere felt truly authentic, with a menu full of traditional Greek dishes. Arriving late and feeling tired and hungry, we went for comforting, quick bites — sharing a Greek salad, feta, and saganaki to start. For mains, we each had spaghetti with meat sauce — the Greek take on spaghetti bolognese. While the pasta was simple, it completely hit the spot, and I polished off every bite. The whole experience was exactly what you’d hope for in a tiny Greek island village — friendly staff, quick service, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Best of all, we could walk straight in without a wait. A hidden little gem worth visiting when in Kastro.

It’s a pity that such a beautiful restaurant is not up to standard. There was a lack of music, incredibly understaffed workforce and undercooked food. I really hope this place learns a lesson from this summer because it has the potential to be the best on the island. Staff really made up for it by not charging us for the undercooked food.

Not the best meal I’ve eaten since I’ve been in Sifnos but really sweet staff and pretty decent food. Didn’t have to wait long either.

We had a really nice dinner here. The staff were friendly, and although it was busy and we had to wait for a table for around 15 minutes, they were prompt with the clearing of the prior table and welcoming us in. The food was delicious and well priced. Can recommend!

Probably the best food we had on the island. We didn’t have a reservation so we had to wait 30 mins. But it was definitely worth it!

Very good tavern in a cosy atmosphere. The food is fresh and tasty. You have to try chef's saganaki!, saganaki, special saganaki, eggplant with meatballs, greek salad, fava, zucchini balls, minced meatballs!, chicken souvlaki!, cheese balls! and chicken roll roast! The owner and waitress are very polite. Big recommendation !

Cute little beach bar with good coffee and freshly prepared food. Literally everything I tried here tasted amazing and I loved starting my day here with a coffee and freshly prepared croissant.

Totally full of it. Tried to rent a pedal boat for my kid, they told me that the one and only guy who can handle it is out until later. Fine. Later we come back and the guy is just hanging out in the water. The guy from the café says that the boat guy told him that the police said he can't rent anymore because of the wind. It's not windy now nor is the forecast for wind until overnight. When I questioned it he told me that I always have an answer for everthng but they can't do it. I called another place in platis giallos (bloomarine) and the person there said that of course they are open, but will be closed tomorrow because of the wind. Which makes sense. These guys at Bolab are I assume doing something illegal and unsafe if the police told them not to rent. That's at best. At worst they are just rude liars. Also for what it's worth, at the cafe the food is not very good. Stay away. There are plenty of reputable operators and good cafes on Sifnos. This isn't one. They are just a garbage company. Edit: Not a half hour later as we were leaving the beach we could see that they had rented out at least one of the boats. So their response to this review - that there were dangerous winds in the forecast and they were being safety conscious - is patently a lie. Either that or they were willing to endanger the lives of other people's kids even as they gallantly protected mine. Draw your own conclusions.

Had a superb breakfast here, delicious eggs with fresh herbs.

One stop shop for coffee,drinks,cocktails, snacks, water sports and also supplies if you are sailing the Aegean.Excellent environment and products.literary on the beach plus the w.c is super clean.

Great brunch menu with amazing bay view. If you’re in Vathi do not miss!

An evening cocktail at Bola is the perfect way to finish every day at Vathi

Beautiful spot for relaxing! Nice food, good drinks, unbelievable scenery! They also have really comfy sunbeds free for customers.

NUS, the name is mythical and pure magic to those who have dined here. I was blessed with this delightful place nearly to myself (early diner) and a kitty cat or two. I had no idea I was privileged to be dining at such a wonderful restaurant without even trying. My server was just darling, he deserved to be accoladed more than I can express here…. Eat anything. But for sure if they have the smoked chicken in a glass cloche, or the caper hummous with caper leaves, try those. The setting is also beyond imagination. I am so excited for my next visit!

NUS is an odyssey of flavors (see what I did there?) with a unique spin on classic Greek dishes. The chickpea falafel, beetroot salad, stuffed peppers, and triple-cooked potatoes were standouts, and the tomato with crispy caper leaves was a brilliant surprise. The staff was wonderful—patient, friendly, spoke great English, and offered excellent suggestions with genuine smiles. A must-visit on Sifnos.

Lovely experience at NUS. We enjoyed every part of the meal, right down to the best ice cream we’ve had - the roasted coconut. We managed to have a lot of variety in vegetarian meals which was an added bonus. Service was good, friendly waiter and (lots of) four-legged friends! A bit pricey but very well-worth the money, time and experience!!

absolutely delicious food and great menu. the location on the beach is magical and with some cute cat visitors. would recommend the food lots but be patient as unfortunately the service was not great. we were a bit forgotten about after we were served our food, we would’ve kept having a few cocktails but even getting the bill was difficult.

Second time at Nus and everything is great. The food is delicious. I recommend the eggplant, potatoes, and crab. The place is beautiful, the service is lovely, and especially our waitress with long black hair. It is always easy to find a table, which is surprising because this place should to be full!

Such a beautiful restaurant by the beach, with amazing food. We tried a wide variety of plates and they were all delicious and very innovative and well presented. Angelos was our waiter and he was so kind and nice to us. Highly recommended.

We had the most beautiful lunch today at Nus. The location is right on the beach but table in the shade. The food was creative and delicious, a very Ottolenghi vibe. Service was friendly and efficient. A wonderful find and we highly recommend.

Very nice food atmosphere and friendly stuff, located in very nice spot

Wonderful Fine Dining experience at Artemonas, Sifnos, Greece There isn’t another restaurant like Smaragdi on the island of Sifnos, one of the most beautiful of the Cyclades, and a bit of a hidden gem. Right at the entrance of the pleasant and car-free centre of Artemonas, Sifnos’ second-largest town, and opposite the beautiful Church of St. Constantine and Helen lies Smaragdi, a summertime restaurant that should be on the bucket list of every foodie who is visiting this marvellous island. Here Chef Adonis, who works in the winter time at one of the best seafood restaurants in Athens, Kollias, reigns the kitchen and cooks in his own unique and convincing style. The French would undoubtedly qualify Smaragdi as “vaut le voyage” (worth the trip). While you will most likely have an unforgettable holiday on this island full of stunning beauty, your taste buds may deserve better than the average moussaka and souvlaki that about every other restaurant will be serving. I stayed at Artemonas for one week, and after eating dinner at Smaragdi on the first day I was immediately hooked, and wanted to try out more. I returned for dinner for several more evenings, and sampled multiple choices of the menu. Adonis’ cooking is a creative combination of modern fusion cuisine, mainly based on the highest quality local produce that Greece – and in particular Sifnos – have to offer. While preserving the original flavours of the ingredients, such as tuna, beef, pork, cheese and many local vegetables, he interweaves them with complementary tastes and textures that enrich them to the upper limit. He doesn’t reproduce or translate the Greek cuisine, but builds an ingenious and inspiring fantasy version of it, combining deep technical skills with creativity. Adonis’ cooking is consistent, providing an equally high level of quality and surprises for every dish that he prepares. The menu is short, with 6 starters, 3 pasta/rice dishes, 4 salads, 4 main courses, and 4 deserts. But each and every of them will provide you with an explosion of tastes and textures. The portion sizes are more than decent, and it is very unlikely that you leave hungry, even if you had only one course. I was extremely impressed by the Sifnian pies with strawberry sauce and the Tune tartar with cucumber (both appetizers), the Black pasta with smoked salmon and cherry tomatoes, and the Pork chops with baked potatoes (both main courses), and the Parfait with halvah, crocan on kantaifi bed (desert). These simple names hide a culinary sophistication with which you will undoubtedly indulge yourself, just as with every other course on the menu. Smaragdi has an equally short but excellent wine selection, with some of the best Greek wines. Two wines that impressed me was a Kir Yiannis (2017), an excellent white wine from the Greek province of Macedonia, made of roditis and malagouzia grapes, and a red Papagianakos Estate, P.G.I. Attica (2015), from the famous Greek agioritiko grape variety combined with some cabernet sauvignon. Waiter Agelos, who is also the sommelier, will be more than ready to provide you with his expert advice. The waiting staff is very friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The atmosphere is very informal, as this is a summer holiday resort after all. Nobody will specifically dress up for dinner here, obviously. The background music is excellent easy listening/lounge music, with sufficient variation so that it never gets boring. There are several lounge couches at the terrace, where you may enjoy your after-dinner digestif or maybe an excellent cocktail from the very long bar menu. The bargirl does an outstanding job mixing drinks, too. Smaragdi doesn’t offer lunch, but from 8am-2pm (08:00-14:00) the restaurant (which is also linked to an affiliated hotel with the same name) also serves breakfast/brunch options that entail some interesting and very tasty choices. You should not visit Sifnos without dining at Smaragdi at least once! For the record: I paid for all my meals in full, and I have no affiliations with the restaurant, its staff or its owners.

Just been here for a take away coffee. Fast service, and really pleasant people. One of the best coffees on the island in my opinion. Fresh and cool atmosphere.

Great coffee and nice breakfast. Staff very friendly. Great spot as well.

Exploiting their monopoly moneywise; Service was questionable (cleared one persons plate while the person was still chewing; the other person was still eating), we did not feel welcome. Didn't really want to give a tip in the end but the waitress made no attempt to give me back change either.

Amazing breakfast and coffees here, served quickly. Would recommend!

Just stopped for a drink after a good walk from Apollonia. Nice drinks and a good spot

Great setting and music, right on the beach with comfy sofas. I was there for a while writing and it was very nice and chill. The food is ok, nothing espectacular and I expected the coffee to be better, for a place that allegedly is a cafe-bar. But still, I guess the setting compensated for it. One thing though, they charged me for the bread even though I didn't want it and they didn't bring it out. Should have taken it to my room and have it for breakfast at least...so say yes to the bread 🤷🏻‍♂️

One of the worst salads I have had in Sifnos I ordered the Dakos, which ended up being a plate of wholemeal rusks with chopped tomatoes… no seasoning nor oil or vinaigrette… I asked staff for extra oil and seasoning to improve the taste… took over 15mins to arrive… Very disappointing, when compared to all the wonderful meals we have had on this island… Not worth the 9 euros they are charging for this…

Nice place. More cafe than restaurant. But nice to chill in the afternoon. Good staff.

Half of the order was delivered 15min after the first half. Also, just look attached at my ‘Chocolate croissant’… Covered with a ridiculous qty of Nutella, almost impossible to eat.

Really nice place. Aperol 7 euro in happy House and coffe 3-4 euro

I wanted to have breakfast here by myself. Since I wasn't allowed to sit in the front row even though there were available seats I decided to just drink a coffee and eat somewhere else. Maybe two people who would be seated in the front row would have just ordered a coffee and a single person would order drinks and food. I didn't like the staff's behavior

This place is good for sandwiches and ‘beach’ snacks etc. Not really is you’re after traditional Greek food. A bit ‘toristy’ and there are better places either side.

If you have transportation this beautiful spot is a must and a perfect place to watch the sunset. Make reservations and bring sunglasses. It was our anniversary and we enjoyed a special beef tail tender meat in a Cretan pasta, salad with slightly sweet balsamic glaze dressing and large croutons and a yummy lemon pie for dessert. One entree was plenty for us with salad. Nice wine list.

Amazing food and lovely people! I do recommend calling for a reservation and get a table around 20:00/20:30. We had one dish of the day and a salad, which tasted incredible. All the reviews about the lemon pie? 100% worth it. I highly recommend it! Lovely place and great views.

Amazing. Get in here 2 hours before sunset. And enjoy a great meal with a great view and service. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere. Amazing sunset.

Fabulous sunset view and beautiful food. We had chicken fillet, Greek salad and stuffed peppers. Our whole experience was amazing especially the picturesque view.

Our most exceptional dinner during our stay in Sifnos. The hot appetizers were just amazing, try local cheese with fennel jam ...the sunset is perfect, really romantic with some nice greek music

Wonderful place, a must if you visit Sifnos!! In summer go at 7:30-8pm to watch sunset, beautiful views and colours! Food was also good, I recommend to try local cheese grilled with fennel jam, any meat and the lemon pie - awesome! Book in advance, we walked in but were lucky to get the last table. Highly highly recommend 😍

Fresh, flavorful food with a local touch. The salad was crisp and vibrant, topped with delicious tangy manoura cheese from Sifnos. The black pig kebab (daily special) was juicy and well-seasoned. Great sunset views and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Would definitely return.

A real find! Best overall meal experience so far. Literally a seaside gem. Had fried calamari, Greek salad and an incredible view. If you are in Kastro go down the stairs to the water and revel in a real Greek experience. I think the owner cook (Captain George?) was there. Spoke no English (why should he?) and had a big smile.

Amazing, fresh food at a family restaurant with super friendly service. They catch the fish, you pick it, they cook it. Can’t get better than that ! Thank you for making our last night in Sifnos special

The restaurant offers a very unique dining experience, run by a two-person team. The setting is lovely, right on the water edge. However, the food was a bit underwhelming overall. The prawns hadn’t been cleaned, which made for an unpleasant start — though once cleaned, they were actually quite tasty. On the other hand, the tuna dish was nice - fresh. Given the overall experience, the meal felt quite overpriced for the quality. While we appreciated the atmosphere, I expected more from the food.

Amazing food with a wonderful view. We had Greek salad, fried squid and fresh sea bream. It was All delicious. We highly recommended for an authentic Sifnian experience.

Amazing food, right by the sea. The food is wonderful, expect a little bit of a wait for the fish but it’s worth it. Can only recommend!

What a perfect meal. This restaurant gives you the feeling of eating a homemade meal in the most superb setting. The menu changes daily, but I would recommend ordering the fava, octopus and crispy fried shrimp if available. The setting is casual and you get to enjoy the view with the waves splashing up against the restaurant. Highly reccomend coming here for a wonderful expression of Greek cooking.

We felt very led astray by all of these good reviews…. The octopus and calamari were completely leathery and inedible. The prawns and salad were fine but nothing special. The service was very bad, it didn’t feel like anyone cared about what they were serving or took any pride in their restaurant. Overall a very disappointing and overpriced experience. Not sure if it’s because we came in September near the end of the season but I certainly would not go back.

Beautiful resturant right on the waters edge. Tables were set up on the beach under big trees with festoon lights. Elegant vibe. Expansive menu options with vegetarian, seafood and meats. Everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavour and could tell it had been cooked with love and care. Delicious drinks menu and service was great. Highly recommend the grape salad and fish of the day. Loved our evening at Alyelo.

This is the best beach club I have been to in all of Greece. We went here for three times and found it to be impeccable. First things. The food was one of the best I tried on the island. The dishes were just so particular and so yummy and the service was amazing as well. We were also sat on poofs on the beach and it was beautiful as you were really close to the beach and you could order drinks to your poos.

We truly enjoyed our dinner at alyelo. We were seated right by the water, with feet in the sand. Faros bay is so much more chill and quiet than Gialos (where many other restaurants are located and we found it to be much too chaotic and loud). We much prefer this location. The service was warm and attentive. The zucchini salad is a must try. It will not be what you expect. We also had the eel, sea bream, saganki and the paccheri (which is another must order). 3 of the mains were not available which was surprising. We preferred this restaurant over yalos and maiolica.

Amazing! We ate here after eating at another restaurant the night before and feeling underwhelmed, and Alyelo did not disappoint. 🤩 We were looked after by Nora who was amazing from start to finish - so friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the dishes on offer. We will definitely be back! 🤍

A must go-to spot, where the rich Mediterranean flavors blend with Greek hospitality at the highest level, all by the beautiful Sifnos seaside. The Peach Ceviche was perfectly balanced. The Dolma Nigiri with Smoked Eel was unforgettable, an inspired fusion of tradition and creativity that truly stood out. Our main dishes were equally delightful, showcasing incredible freshness and quality in every bite. We finished with a Galaktoboureko with a lemon freddo twist, an ending that leaves the perfect lasting impression. On top of the food, the service was exceptional: attentive, warm, and professional, making the whole experience feel special. Alyelo is more than a restaurant, it’s a Sifnos highlight that you’ll remember long after you leave.

We visited this place for dinner and we had an amazing experience dott. The service was excellent. The location is mesmerizing extremely close to the water and very romantic highlight of the night was for sure our main dish which was the special of the day: paccheri with langoustine, BEST PASTA of my life (I’m Italian, just saying) it was superb and left us speechless. The waitress recommended us great Greek wine and took great car of us throughout the whole night. I highly recommend their caponata as well. Hands down best restaurant we ate in Sifnos, we’ll be back!

One of the best lunches I’ve had in Greece! Super friendly service and very knowledgable waiters. The location is stunning but what is even more amazing is the food. Try any of the raw fish dishes and you won’t be disappointed. I’m here for another week and will definitely be back!

The setting is amazing, the ambiance of the place too! Service is very polite and attentive. The menu is very interesting and what we ordered was very tasty and well cooked/presented. Actually i found it a bit less innovative/surprising for the prices. But a very good experience indeed!

We were recommended the restaurant by some locals and to say it was exceptional is an understatement. It was so good we booked again for the following night. The view is breathtaking, you couldn’t ask for more with a gorgeous quintessential panoramic Greek landscape and authentic, fresh and absolutely delicious food. We had to order a second serving of the fish carpaccio - truly as if I was transported back to Tuscany. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, really made our experience so special. Hands down my favourite place on the island and an absolute must for all to try.

Best in class! Amazing island architecture updated to create a unique restaurant space for both inside and outside dining. The menu is solid Northern Italian, with upscale touches without being pretentious. Stay for dinner or stop for drinks. A not to be missed experience.

The best steak on the island. Sifos really does offer the best of the Greek Islands. We had some amazing meals but were blown away by this Italian restaurant. My husband ordered the Florentine Steak which I have to say was probably my favourite meal of the whole trip. The wine list is exceptional and the staff were so helpful in helping us make the right choice. The meal is almost as delicious as the stunning sea view, which is neatly framed with iconic white and blue houses and green hills. Honestly, have recommended it to family and friends and everybody leaves with the same feeling. 5+/5

A little pearl on the Island. The location is just perfect, in the heart of the stenó, but still secluded and private, making it the perfect restaurant for a romatic dinner or a dinner with some friends. The atmosphere is truly magical: great attention to details, from the choice of the music, to the fine decor and furniture, you’ll find yourself dining under the stars, overwhelmed by the delicate smell of jasmin flowers and fresh grapes. The food is excellent! The use of local products and Italian ingredients is carefully thought: the combination of flavors is indeed very special. The service is also very good, the team is young, passionate and welcoming: a true mix of Greek and Italian savoir-faire! I would recommend a wide selection of antipasti to share: they are just incredible! The restaurant can also be privitised for small events with a dedicated menu. My family and I had a blast! I will definitely go back next year.

An incredible experience! First, the view on the terrace is breathtaking. Secondly, the owners, Don Carlo himself and his wife Aurora, are simply the most welcoming hosts we had on Sifnos. Go and see the interiors with the old oil press: a true gem, part of Sifnos history. I’d also like to mention the quality of the service, run by 2 waiters, so dedicated to our well-being. Last but not least, the food was absolutely delicious: carpaccios and meat were so savory, and the caponata so good! They produce their own wine, another five star taste. An unforgettable experience truly recommended.

Nice menu,nice place, great service but pricey. The portions are too small

Make sure to leave some room for desserts! Service was superb. Thank you

Wonderful place - amazing views! Food was delicious and staff superb! Highly recommend and will look forward to next year's visit! Been coming to Sifnos for over 10 years - nice to find new places!

Absolutely delicious food with one of the best views of the island, over the sea and Chrissopigi Monastery. The team is lovely. Great atmosphere ❤️

(Translated by Google) We stopped for a coffee before arriving at the monastery, nice terrace, good service and great coffee. (Original) Ci siamo fermati per un caffè prima di arrivare al monastero, bella terrazza, buon servizio e ottimo caffè.

(Translated by Google) Amazing view! Very friendly and professional service in every way! They showed us how they cook in the traditional way in Panostria! We were treated to a second wine and dessert! The music perfectly matched the zen that the goddess of the church of Chrysopigi gulf exudes! Myet visit !!!!! (Original) Εκπληκτική θέα ! Πολύ φιλική και επαγγελματική εξυπηρέτηση από κάθε άποψη ! Μας έδειξαν πως μαγειρεύουν με τον παραδοσιακό τρόπο στην Πανοστρια !Μας κέρασαν 2ο κρασί και γλυκό ! Η μουσική ταίριαζε άψογα με το ζεν που αποπνέει η θεα της εκκλησίας της κ του κόλπου της Χρυσοπηγής ! Μyet visit !!!!!

(Translated by Google) Very nice restaurant, beautiful atmosphere, nice view and very kind and helpful staff! Sweets steal the show. I highly recommend it! (Original) Πολύ ωραίο εστιατόριο, όμορφη ατμόσφαιρα, ωραία θέα και πολύ ευγενικό κι εξυπηρετικό προσωπικό! Τα γλυκά κλέβουν την παράσταση. Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!

(Translated by Google) Great view!! Lighthouse - Chrysopigi - Aegean! Friendly service and good prices. Delicious and comprehensive variety. (Original) Υπέροχη θέα!! Φάρος - Χρυσοπηγή - Αιγαίο! Φιλική εξυπηρέτηση και καλές τιμές. Νόστιμη και περιεκτική ποικιλία.

Sitting on this busy little corner watching oversized trucks, tiny cars, large buses and scooters hustle at the corner is great entertainment when you’re eating the absolute best gyros - the pork is exceptional!!!

AWFUL service. We ordered and paid for four gyros and waited 20 minutes before asking if it was ready. They made us wait another 10 minutes saying they hadn’t even started them. Because we were in a bit of a rush to get the ferry we asked if they could cancel the order and refund us to which they replied no, and that we could call the police if we wanted to. We ended up leaving with no gyros and no refund. Enough said.

Tried both gyros pita and gyros portion, and both were excellent. The service was great, and probably gonna end up visiting a few more times during my stay at Sifnos.

The best souvlaki we had in all of Greece after almost 3 week of travelling. Best to eat there and all souvlaki's are delicious: chicken, pork, kebab. The meat is so juicy, wow. Really friendly guys too!

Great pork gyros wraps!

The best comfort food EVER! Our family is obsessed with this place. The guys there are incredible. The food is delicious. If you are in Sifnos, you cannot miss this. Panos especially very kind.

The souvlaki portion was good, reasonable prices too, friendly staff. The falafel was not so good but it’s perfectly normal given that it’s a ‘psitopoleio’ i.e. serves mainly meat based based dishes. Recommend. For the vegetarians, instead of falafel, ask for ‘patatopita’, you’ll love it.

The kindest owner, Isabella, who gave us great recommendations for food, the best baklava (not too sweet!!) and delicious coffee!! We bought coffee to bring home and can't wait to brew it. What a gem!! Thank you Isabella for the hospitality, laughs and conversation!

Delicious coffee, amazing espresso. Isabela is so lovely. No vegan milk yet here. But a lovely place. And delicious fresh orange juice.

Absolutely loved Way Cup Coffee Roaster! The coffee was truly amazing, and you can tell why – they roast their own beans right there, which is fantastic to see. The lady serving us was incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even better. And the pistachio and almond baklava we had was out of this world! A perfect treat with the coffee. Would highly recommend Way Cup Coffee Roaster to anyone looking for a brilliant coffee experience. Plus, they've just opened a new shop in Platis Gialos, which is great news!

Quaint cafe! Amazing homemade ice cream and roasted coffee! Very happy to have met the most lovely owner! Would definitely come back and visit again!

Some of the best coffee we’ve had on Sifnos, and at a very fair price compared to most others in the area. The owners were incredibly friendly. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Best authentic place in Sifnos for coffee and loukoumades. It’s a treasure! Get yourself there. The service and coffee rousted beans of Konstantinos hits perfection!

I came here because of the extremely good reviews, but found them misleading. The coffee was mediocre at best and far from 'extraordinary'. However, the girl on service was really polite and pleasant.

Low rating due to high prices compared to the rest of the island and the not so tasty food. Would not go again and not recommend, there are better options around. We had lunch (takeaway) and got 1 pastisio, 1 bowl of oven cooked veggies and 4 waters and this was €34. Way too much for the island, maybe tourist trap? Also veggies lacked salt and pastisio was okay, had at least 3 better ones in the island this week.

Pelicanos is the owner of this place too. Amazing spot to grab something to eat and go to the beach. They have amazing coffee and very tasty lemon cake

Best bread, coffee and desserts you can find in Sifnos . Everything it’s handmade . The prices are worthy for the quality that this bakery offers. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me !

A cute mod takeout spot working hard to give the sweaty tourists what they want - coffee and portable, seaside-friendly snacks. And they’re doing a great job. Coffee can be a bit unreliable (one day it was great but the next day it was very burnt) but all in all great. Damn it was hot in there though with the ovens - we felt bad for the workers!

Amazing coffee and delicious pastries!! It is a bit pricey but it is worth. One of the best coffee shops in Sifnos. Definitely recommend!

Best breakfast on the island! Iced Coffee wonderful (and real - Greeks like putting nescafe in most of their iced coffees). Tried all the sandwiches, most of the cakes and the chia yoghurt, and loved them all. The only "take out" place in Sifnos that I could find that was fresh (and great value). Ate it all under the trees looking at the sea. Perfection.

Stylish modern little bakery on Faros, Sifnos. Reminded me of being in a cafe in Australia! We just had iced coffees and their homemade juices which were delicious. Stunning view from their seating deck. Regrets not having lunch there also! The food and bread looked amazing. Friendly staff & also some cool merch to buy! Highly recommend paying a visit!

Absolutely flawless. Stylish decor, stylish music, impeccable service, impeccable food. Marco, Erlin and the whole staff made our night a special one. A must-go while in Sifnos!

Best restaurant on the island! We have come here several times for dinner and also their new brunch during our stay on Sifnos because it is just that good. Discreetly decorated location with a wonderful view and the best service you can expect. Great selection of wines and a menu that makes you want to try every dish - with portions that are perfect for sharing. Definitely our favorite spot on Sifnos and a real gem for everyone who would like to try something different from your typical Greek taverna...

what a pleasant surprise!!!!excellent food, excellent service, excellent choice!!amazing beef tartar and gnocchi!! vegetarian menu as well!! the best greek wine!!!

Good service, interesting food but overpriced. Strange to charge for bread when you pay 16 euros for a carbonara.

Creative and delicious food, great wine pairing and great atmosphere. A night to remember!

Great food! Great view! Great service! A must visit in Sifnos.

Delicious food perfectly paired with the right wine. A must if you are on the island.

Great breadin this lovely bakery. Sweets are also very good. One feels and tastes the family tradition in this great local favourite.

One of the best spinach pies I've had. The ice cream sticks, home made, are simply delicious!

Expensive without a reason, the sweets are nothing special and not even fresh! Furthermore the woman who is at the shop, i don't know if she's the owner, but she was absolutely unpleasant to deal with. Avoid it.

The best bakery in all of Sifnos. Try everything there as it’s all good.

Easily the best of several bakeries we visited over the vice of two weeks. To start with they actually had a decent range of fresh bread, rather than just confectionary; but the sweet stuff was amazing too - a proper pain au chocolat, marzipan, and more.

Very tasty traditional sweets and biscuits from Sifnos. The staff was really kind and helpful. I recommend this place for sure!

I just ate the BEST apple pie! You should visit Artemonas and stop by to get a piece!!

Rebranding of Maison. Coffe and food is overpriced for no real reason.

Omelette, pancakes and yoghurt were 10/10

Beautiful place, delicious smoothies!

Such a lovely, comfortable and cute cafe with a great view. The ambiance is amazing. One should come around 6 PM and stay till evening. The cocktails are great, but the stuff is greater. I definitely recommend it.

(Translated by Google) We ordered 3 brunches and 2 toasts. The toasts came in 30’, the 1st course of the brunch after 40’ maybe even later. The 2nd and third courses hadn’t even started to be made. The coffees were not good and the food (Croque Madame) was heavy, mediocre in quality and 14 Euros. The staff was very polite but overall our experience was negative. (Original) Παραγγείλαμε 3 brunch και 2 τοστ. Τα τοστ ήρθαν σε 30’ το 1ο πιάτο του brunch μετά από 40’ ίσως και αργότερα. Το 2ο και τρίτο πιάτο δεν είχε καν ξεκινήσει να φτιάχνεται. Οι καφέδες δεν ήταν καλοί και το φαγητό (Croque Madame) βαρύ, μέτριο σε ποιότητα και 14 Ευρώ. Το προσωπικό ήταν πολύ ευγενικό αλλά γενικά η εμπειρία μας ήταν αρνητική.

(Translated by Google) Firstly, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Secondly, the staff was polite and cheerful. But the issue was this: while the quantity of food is good, the quality was on the contrary mediocre in my opinion, especially of the meat-related meals. So, combined with the fairly high prices, I was left with somewhat mediocre thoughts in my mind, hence the 2 stars. It's better to go as a guest for refreshments/coffee/drinks, and everything will be fine. (Original) Πρώτον το μαγαζί έχει ωραία ατμόσφαιρα. Δεύτερον το προσωπικό ήταν ευγενικό και πρόσχαρο. Όμως το ζήτημα ήταν το εξής: ενώ η ποσότητα του φαγητού είναι καλή, η ποιότητα αντιθέτως ήταν μέτρια κατά την γνώμη μου και κυρίως όσων γευμάτων σχετίζονται με κρεατικά. Συνδυαστικά λοιπόν με τις αρκετά υψηλές τιμές, έμεινα με κάπως μέτριες σκέψεις στο μυαλό και εξού και τα 2 αστέρια. Καλύτερα κανείς να πάει επισκέπτης για αναψυκτικά/καφέ/ποτά, και όλα θα είναι εντάξει.

(Translated by Google) New breath of fresh air at the best crossing on the island, ideal for brunch, next to Apollonia! Fresh ingredients and courteous service! (Original) Νέα πνοή στο καλύτερο πέρασμα του νησιού,ιδανικό για brunch,δίπλα στην Απολλωνία!Ολοφρεσκα υλικά κ ευγενική εξυπηρέτηση!

Nice but nothing great.

The epithomy of the beach bar

(Translated by Google) 1 star for the idyllic setting and the 2nd for the really nice servers. More than mediocre dish and expensive for the quality. The restaurant made us pay for 3 glasses of water, even though we never saw the color. There are much better and cheaper options on Sifnos. (Original) 1 étoile pour le cadre idyllique et la 2ème pour les serveurs vraiment gentil. Plat plus que médiocre et cher pour la qualité. Le restaurant nous fait payer 3 verres d'eau, alors qu'on en a jamais vu la couleur. Il y a beaucoup mieux et moins cher sur Sifnos.

(Translated by Google) Nice cocktails, great view, good prices. Better to go at night because from morning to noon there is a lot of noise and annoyingly loud music. (Original) Ωραία κοκτέιλ, υπέροχη θέα, καλές τιμές. Καλύτερα να πάτε βράδυ γιατί πρωί ως μεσημέρι έχει πολλή φασαρία και ενοχλητικά δυνατή μουσική.

(Translated by Google) Nice beach bar for both day and evening (Original) Bel bar sulla spiaggia sia per il giorno che per la sera

(Translated by Google) Very tacky music at sunset. Caterpillars on tables and chairs. The attention could be improved (Original) La música muy hortera a la hora del atardecer. Orugas en las mesas y sillas. La atención, mejorable

(Translated by Google) Nice beaches, they donated sunbeds at this particular shop, nice staff (Original) Ωραια παραλια δωρεαν ξαπλωστρες στο συγκεκριμενο μαγαζι καλο προσωπικο

The positive descriptions here are not true anymore in 2023, the hosts are unable to provide what they promise on their profile on airBnB: fresh fruit and vegetables to pick from the garden, fresh milk. The beds have old matrasses and are rather uncomfortable.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful location next to Artemons and Apollonia. It has a garden where you can freely take anything you want. Definitely worth the stay!! (Original) Πολύ όμορφη τοποθεσία δίπλα από τον Αρτεμώνα και την Απολλωνία. Διαθέτει κήπο όπου μπορείς ελεύθερα να πάρεις οτιδήποτε θελήσεις. Αξίζει σίγουρα η διαμονή!!

(Translated by Google) Perfect ! And the hosts pay particular attention: fruits and vegetables from the garden that we are invited to pick as much as we want! Cheeses from their own production generously offered as are the cakes. A true haven of peace. (Original) Parfait ! Et les hôtes sont d'une attention particulière : fruits et légumes du jardin que nous sommes invités à cueillir à volonté ! Fromages de leur propre production généreusement offerts comme les gâteaux. Un vrai havre de paix.

I have very different feelings about this place. On the first day, we came for lunch, and everything was perfect: the food (chickpea soup and meatballs), the vibe (very chill and relaxing), and the attentive service. We liked it there and decided to come back. But the last evening was a different experience. The place was busy, and we could not get proper service. We were waiting for our drinks for 30 minutes, and the staff was unattentive (it was rush hour I understand). But I can't forget cockroaches running around and jumping on people. That was epic. We no longer had an appetite and didn't like our shrimp pasta. The waiter apologised, brought us a dessert and removed the pasta from our bill (it was not necessary but we truly appreciated that). I guess it was the restaurant’s unlucky day, and I hope I will go there next time and we will have a good time, and it will be a 5-star.

Delicious traditional Greek food and incredible hospitality! Wilson made us feel truly welcome — one of the best dining experiences in Sifnos. Highly recommend!

Good food, though a bit less authentic than other spots. The service was very friendly, and it’s a lovely place to sit and relax.

Stopped here for dinner our last night in Sifnos on a whim, and really enjoyed our meal! The chickpeas and eggplant were delicious, as was the lamb.

The service was polite and fast. The portions were generous. The dishes I tasted (eggplant in the oven, revythada, Okyalos salad, mastelo with very nice fried potatoes) were very tasty. We were also offered a second bottle of wine.

I really wouldn't bother. The service was non existent, plonking plates and glasses Infront of us. The portions were tiny and it was overpriced for what it was. Pork was dry, the mashed potato was lumpy, meatballs also dry yet watery? I was also laughed at once I replied honestly to how it was - poor... The one smile I got from the staff all evening.. I had a VERY different experience to the other 5 star reviews.. The beer was alright though. As a head chef in London, I'd say give this one a miss.

We had a Nice experience here, food is super tasty, we unfortunately wanted to try the Mastello but it was sold out, recommend going earlier to get a plate of it. The cabbage rolled dish was unique, not appealing , but tasty and fresh. Owners were kind and helpful

Really enjoyed our meal here! We had the tagliatelle alla bolognese and trofie al pesto. They added zucchini to my pesto pasta as requested and brought extra Parmesan for my husband who can eat it by the bucketful. It felt like the best homemade pasta ever, served by a lovely and attentive team!

Best place we've eaten in Greece so far! We have been here one week. Excellent staff, clean and the food is amazing! Wish it hadn't been our last night in Sifnos- we all wanted to go again!

Lovely time here! Second time visiting this restaurant over the span of four years and the experience is very consistent which is to say the wait staff are so professional and friendly. The dishes are excellent as well and there’s a beautiful ambiance at night. Highly recommend

What a delight! We went here two nights during our trip during the off season. The restaurant is stunning and has a great view. We had Panos as our waiter both nights and he animated our needs and made great recommendations. The truffle pasta was out of this world.

I would put more than 5 stars if I could! We went for Pasta alla Puttanesca and it was the best I’ve ever eaten. Came back the day after to try a pizza and it was also an absolute delight. The owner is very devoted to making you feel good and welcomed. Don’t hesitate. Best Italian in Sifnos!!

Such an incredible meal . Pizza has the best crust I’ve ever had . Pasta , full of flavour and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend.

Food is very delicius, we ate all the food that we asked!! The price of the restaurant is a little more expensive, but fair. I recomend this restaurant and i would come back.

Yalos Sifnos is a great spot right by the beach. The food is fresh and full of flavor. We loved the tuna tataki and the bruschetta with sardines — both were amazing. Beautiful location, friendly staff, and a relaxed vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Sifnos.

In the setting of Sifnos’ most beautiful beach, the restaurant offers delicious, unique dishes and unforgettable fish carpaccios. The service is top-notch for courtesy, speed, precision, and efficiency. You simply can’t come to Sifnos without having lunch or dinner at Yalos!

We enjoyed this place so much that we went twice during our holiday in Sifnos. The sunbeds are very comfortable and come with proper sunshading, which was really important for us. A set of sunbeds costs 40€, but if you also have lunch at Yalos, the price is reduced to 20€. The food is excellent as well, so I can only recommend coming here.

Best environment/set up in Sifnos. Food is amazing and service top notch. They also have beach lounge chairs, which is a plus. Highly recommend!

Top notch beach front seafood restaurant. Do not miss when in Sifnos! Carpaccio and tartare options totally recommended. The grilled fresh fish was super tasty.

Full day experience on a beautiful beach. Start with sunbeds early morning enjoying coffee juices and the detox water. Head up to the restaurant for a beautiful seafood lunch. Highly recommend the fish kebab and scallops paired with the bruschetta. Head back to the sunbeds to spend the rest of the afternoon. Great drinks menu - alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Will be back.

Omg! This was the best restaurant we ate at during our 3 weeks stay in Sifnos/Serifos. We still talk about the sea bream tiradito several times a week! The service was excellent and everything we picked was fantastic. Don’t miss this!!

Wonderful food and ambiance at this little gem on the harbour. We loved their twist on a Greek salad with local misouthra cheese instead of feta. We ate there multiple times and everything we tried was delicious. Loved the stuffed eggplant (pictured) one of my favorites of the whole two week trip in Greece. I saw a few negative reviews below but please do not be dissuaded by grumpy tourists, this place is worth a visit!

We had a very disappointing dining experience here on our final night in Sifnos - however, we should’ve known from the terrible service upon entry that this is how the meal would unfold. From extremely overpriced, rubbery squid to abrasive service staff - this restaurant leaves nothing to be desired. Head to the venues on the main strip - you’ll receive wonderful service, incredible food and a much friendlier price tag. On the plus side - amazing view!

Argyris restaurant in Kamares has a fantastic view over the bay, which is definitely one of its strong points. The food itself is tasty – the taramasalata in particular stands out as excellent, and the flavours across the dishes are generally very good. That said, the experience was mixed. Waiting times were long, and while the staff were correct and professional, they weren’t particularly warm or friendly. Portion sizes were inconsistent – some dishes came in a decent size, while others were extremely small for the price. A good example is the shrimp saganaki: although tasty, the portion was tiny, especially disappointing at €16. Overall, Argyris offers quality flavours and a great setting, but with the small portions and relatively high prices, it ends up feeling on the expensive side.

We dined here twice during our week long stay on Sifnos. Both were absolutely fabulous in every way; food, service, view, friendly cats… Cannot recommend highly enough. You must go if in Kamares.

Great view over Kamares bay. Good food and decent service too. We started with grilled octopus, followed by chicken with honey mustard and fresh tuna from the grill. Ended with a lemon pie and ouzo. All dishes were fresh and tased good. Worth going.

Amazing traditional food. Iannis the boss is so kind, he’s also a wine expert and offered each of us a glass of ultra premium wine 100% recommend !

Argyris in 2025 was an unqualified disappointment: appalling service, mediocre cuisine, overpriced. Only the view, at sunset, remains of this restaurant's past glory.
