LITTLE GREEN ROCKET
Read moreAn original and successful alternative to Greek cuisine, inspired by Panos and Spiros' travels in Asia and South America. The atmosphere is relaxed, the music and the décor are very pleasant. Their energy makes the difference, and the place is a great success even though it is located on a little frequented part of the port. We recommend the pan-fried shrimps with garlic, the chicken wings with spicy sauce, the sushis and the house cocktails like the smirk of rocket with ginger, lemongrass, spearmint and lime juice.
APOSTOLIS OUZERI
Read moreIf you really want to be in the local atmosphere, this is the place to go. Every year, the quality is always there in this restaurant, which is mostly frequented by locals and is located a little away from the centre. The restaurant is frequented by Greeks, fishermen, for whom Apostolis has been cooking for almost 30 years. Fish specialties, local wine, sea view. A good address for lovers of fried food and seafood. And in the end, the bill is never too high. Excellent value for money and very friendly staff.
CAVO D’ORO
Read moreYou can see his large terrace on the beach of Livadia. Adonis worked in Montreal for 15 years before setting up his restaurant in Parikiá. In 1980, he opened Cavo d'Oro and since then, he has enjoyed welcoming French speakers from all over the world to discover his specialties such as pizzas cooked over an olive wood fire, fresh homemade pasta, seafood spaghetti, risotto à la provençale and fresh fish from Paros. You will be spoilt for choice between five sizes of pizzas on the menu!
TO SPITIKO
Read moreTo Spitiko is a way of saying "like at home", at Patricia's, a French expatriate in Paros after a crush on the Cyclades. The creator of this small haven of peace provides the service while, behind the stoves, her husband is passionate about cooking traditional recipes, thanks to the products gleaned from their local and organic producers as much as possible. The place is very pleasant and the cuisine delicious to enjoy in summer on the terrace with sea view (and sunset!) and in winter in a room with fireplace.
AEOLI
Read moreOn the seafront by going to Livadi, the establishment has existed for over twenty years. The terrace is in the shadows and in summer additional tables are set up near the water. Fresh fish, salads, grilled… Traditional Greek cuisine and a vegetarian menu. Andreas welcomes us with a little French and usually offers the aperitif.
LEVANTIS
Read moreUndoubtedly one of the best addresses in Parikiá and a place that changes from the usual Greek restaurants. The setting is very pretty, in a patio covered with vines. This address offers a refined menu where Greek traditions and influences from elsewhere are mixed (beet and ginger ravioli, fennel risotto...). This contemporary approach does good and changes a little from the classics that can be found everywhere. Chef Giorgios Mavridis elegantly receives guests in a pleasant inner courtyard. A very very good address.
EPHESUS
Read moreIn the shade of the tamarisk trees and with its feet (almost) in the sand, this restaurant and cocktail bar enjoys a very pleasant location. When it comes to food, you'll be spoilt for choice on the well-stocked Mediterranean and Asian-influenced menu (one of the only ones on Paros!): salads, pizzas, fish and seafood, numerous vegetarian options... The hardest part will be choosing! The service is attentive and friendly. And at sunset, the view over the bay of Parikia makes the Ephesus even more magical. A good address.
TRATA
Read moreHere's a family-run taverna faithful to the Cycladic tradition of blue and white and Greek hospitality. Open since 1995 and overlooking the bay of Livadia, Trata is renowned for its home cooking based on fresh, tasty produce. Lefteris, head chef and owner of the restaurant, has set himself the highest standards, and the main attraction is the tasty seafood and freshly caught fish. You'll find some of the best grilled calamari on Paros, not to mention all the classics of Greek cuisine.
PALM BEACH PAROS
Read moreThis complex, ten minutes away from Parikia, is an ideal place to spend a quiet day between your deckchair and the beautiful beach of Agia Irini, a secluded spot that is deserved after taking a long way through the pampas and which is therefore preserved from mass tourism. You can rest there to enjoy light and tasty dishes or practice the water activities available. Opened by French people, the atmosphere is warm, whether you are alone, in couple or in family with children.
DISTRATO CAFE BISTROT
Read moreIn the shade of a majestic tree, the café Distrato underwent a facelift a few years ago. Today, it's a café in tune with the times, with a trendy decor combining industrial style, antique objects, marble and metal. You can come in at any time of day for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon snack of chocolate pancakes, toast, omelettes and gourmet bagels, served in beautiful ceramic crockery. To accompany all this, fruit and vegetable smoothies that are as healthy as they are good.
PAROS NAUTICAL CLUB
Read moreA little out of the city centre, the place is worth the trip. Here, on a spacious and pleasant terrace facing the sea, you will certainly not regret your breakfast or lunch at the Paros Nautical Club. All this with an excellent value for money for delicious Greek dishes made with fresh and local products. Without forgetting to enjoy the deckchairs on the "Blue Flag" beach, the beach volleyball and beach tennis courts, before why not take a sailing course in one of the most famous centres in Greece.
KALI OREXI
Read moreThe name of this pleasant tavern means "good appetite" in French. Giorgos prepares good Greek dishes while his wife Sophie, who is French, serves in the dining room and will be able to inform you if you are free between fish dishes, good vegetarian options or classics less known on the map.
HENRY G
Read moreThis refined Mediterranean restaurant with a discreet French touch is beautifully set on a terrace overlooking a pedestrian street in Parikia. In cooler weather, you can also choose to dine in the sumptuously modern interior, with works of art hanging on the walls. We loved the spicy ceviche, the delicate clam pasta and the puffed chocolate cake, hidden in a cloud of barbapapa! The Porto Carras 2021 white wine also deserves a special mention. An ideal restaurant for a romantic dinner.
MUZZEIN - CLIFFSIDE EXPERIENCE
Read moreThis gourmet restaurant inside the Mythis Paros Hotel boasts an incredible panoramic view of the sea. But the real show is on the plate: ceviche with passion fruit and tiger's milk, octopus with fennel root, sea bass with blue potato, corn and yucca, or spicy oxtail that has simmered for 48 hours... All washed down with a few glasses of Moraitis and Dialogos wines. A real treat!
