01.Scorpios
What is it? Scorpios is a Mediterranean, Greek, and fusion restaurant located in Paraga, Mykonos. It sits a three-minute walk from Paraga Beach and maintains a 4.74 rating from nearly 5,000 guest reviews.
Why we love it: While many spots in the area lean into the nearby coastline, Scorpios prioritizes a high-end, singular aesthetic that justifies its luxury price point. It sits far enough from the louder crowds at Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beach to offer a more controlled, deliberate experience.
Good to Know: The smart and elegant dress code at Scorpios is best paired with linen layers to account for the sea breeze that sweeps across the terrace.

02.Sapphõ
What is it? Sapphõ sits on Polikandrioti in Mykonos. It is a Mediterranean and Greek seafood restaurant positioned at the highest price tier.
Why we love it: While many kitchens in the area lean into trends, Sapphõ focuses exclusively on the intersection of Aegean seafood and classic Mediterranean preparation. The outdoor terrace provides a clear sea view that justifies the premium pricing better than any decorative interior could.
Good to Know: The bar at Sapphõ specializes in Mediterranean-inspired cocktails, making it a reliable stop for an aperitif before diving into the seafood-heavy menu.

03.Principote Beach Club
What is it? Principote Beach Club sits on the sand at Panormos Beach, 4.5 kilometers from Mykonos Old Port. It functions as a restaurant and bar, offering Mediterranean, Greek, and seafood-focused menus in an expansive beachfront space.
Why we love it: The venue manages a 4.62 rating from over 2,500 guests despite its premium price tier. It is the logistical alternative to the harbor crowds, sitting just 1,800 meters from Agios Sostis Beach for those who prefer the northern coastline.

04.Alemagou
What is it? Alemagou is a Mediterranean restaurant perched on the shoreline, positioned 1500 meters from Ftelia Beach. The venue functions as a beachfront destination that pairs a seafood-heavy menu with a full-service bar.
Why we love it: The venue manages a high degree of consistency, holding a 4.70 rating from 1836 reviews while remaining a more secluded alternative to the crowds found closer to the Mykonos Windmills, which sit 4800 meters away. It bridges the gap between a casual seaside spot and an upscale eatery, making it a rare venue where the smart and elegant dress code feels natural against the backdrop of the sea.
Good to Know: The kitchen specializes in Mediterranean seafood, so pair your catch with a bottle from the bar while seated on the open-air terrace.

05.Nammos
What is it? Nammos sits on the sand at Psarrou beach. It is a restaurant focused on Mediterranean, Greek, and seafood preparations that leans into a luxury, fine-dining profile.
Why we love it: It separates itself from the rest of the Mykonos coastline by combining an active private beach with a high-end, sea-view dining room. The price point reflects the commitment to a polished, service-heavy experience that is rarely found this close to the water.
Good to Know: The kitchen specializes in Mediterranean seafood, so keep an eye out for the daily catch displays at Nammos when choosing your main course.

06.Interni
What is it? Interni sits on Matogianni Street in Mykonos, a three-minute walk from the Old Port and roughly 350 meters from Little Venice. This fine dining restaurant draws a consistent following, evidenced by a 4.93 rating from over 300 guests.
Why we love it: The venue manages a high-end, international approach to Mediterranean and Greek staples that feels distinct from the more casual tavernas surrounding the nearby Matogianni landmarks. While the price point reflects a premium experience, the outdoor, terrace-based setting allows for a level of atmosphere that is difficult to replicate in the more cramped quarters of the Old Port.
Good to Know: The smart and elegant dress code at Interni is strictly enforced, so dress for the venue’s refined, open-air Mediterranean aesthetic rather than island-casual attire.

07.Spilia
What is it? Spilia is a Mediterranean and Greek seafood restaurant in Kalafati. It sits on the coastline, a ten-minute walk from Kalo Livadi Beach and roughly twenty minutes from Lia Beach or Elia Beach.
Why we love it: While many Mykonos destinations rely on volume, Spilia maintains a 4.66 rating from nearly a thousand reviews by centering its menu on the Aegean catch. It is a premium, high-priced destination that uses its beachfront location to frame the Mediterranean seafood experience rather than relying on the island's more congested hubs.
Good to Know: The smart and elegant dress code at Spilia calls for linen trousers or a tailored summer dress, as the outdoor, seaside exposure makes the environment far windier than the interior dining rooms of Mykonos Town.

08.Zuma
What is it? Zuma is a Japanese restaurant located in Mykonos 846 00. It is a high-end destination that positions itself firmly in the fine dining tier.
Why we love it: The venue leans into a polished, luxury aesthetic that contrasts with the typically rugged Aegean landscape. It succeeds by pairing precise Japanese sushi and seafood preparations with a terrace that capitalizes on its expansive sea view.
Good to Know: The terrace at Zuma provides the best vantage point for the sea view, so request a table near the edge of the deck when booking.

09.Matsuhisa Mykonos
What is it? Matsuhisa Mykonos is a fine dining restaurant located within the Belvedere Hotel in the School of Fine Arts District. It sits a twenty-minute walk from the Windmills of Mykonos and is even closer to Little Venice.
Why we love it: It earns a high 4.69 rating from over a hundred guests by pairing Japanese, sushi, and seafood with the specific advantages of a luxury hotel setting. While many tables in the area are pressed into narrow lanes, this venue uses its terrace and view to provide a sense of scale that is difficult to find elsewhere in the district. It is expensive, but the quality of the seafood justifies the tier for those seeking a singular, high-end experience near the beach.
Good to Know: Matsuhisa Mykonos requires a smart and elegant dress code, so trade your beachwear for something more formal before heading up from the nearby Megali Ammos Beach.

Why we love it? Tropicana earns its high guest rating by pairing fine dining with a terrace view of the Aegean coast. While many spots in the area lean toward the casual, this venue maintains a consistent luxury feel that sets it apart from the neighboring clubs near Cavo Paradiso.
Good to Know: The smart and elegant dress code at Tropicana requires a more polished look than the typical beach-adjacent attire found just 1,800 meters away at Super Paradise Beach.
