Mykonos restaurants: where to eat in the most expensive Greek island.

Mykonos restaurants split into 'famous beach clubs at €120-300/person', 'fine dining at €80-180/person', and 'real fish tavernas at €40-70/person'. Here's the honest ranking — and which to choose for which trip.

Famous beach clubs (book ahead, expect crowds)

Fine dining (excellent food, slightly less seen-and-be-seen)

Where locals actually eat (low-key, half the price)

Frequently asked.

How much should I budget for dinner in Mykonos?+

Beach clubs: €120-300 per person. Fine dining: €70-150. Real local tavernas: €30-70. Mykonos is the most expensive Greek island for restaurants — budget accordingly.

Do I need reservations at Mykonos restaurants?+

For beach clubs and famous restaurants in peak July-August, yes — 30+ days ahead. For local tavernas, walk-ins usually work. Kiki's Tavern doesn't take reservations at all.

What's the catch at Nammos?+

The lobster pasta is genuinely incredible. The €200 minimum spend per person for any sun lounger is steep. The crowd is glamorous and chaotic. If those tradeoffs work, Nammos delivers.

Are there budget options on Mykonos?+

Local tavernas (€25-50 per person), gyros at Jimmy's (€7-10), and beach picnics from supermarkets. Mykonos doesn't have many genuine budget options but it's possible to eat for €40-50 per day if disciplined.

What about vegetarian options?+

Most Mykonos restaurants accommodate well — the high-end ones have full vegetarian menus, and Greek tavernas naturally have vegetable dishes. Veganaki Mykonos and similar places exist for fully vegan menus.
