Where to Eat & Drink on Milos

Adamantas

Apollonia Grill House – If you’re craving the perfect gyros — juicy meat, warm pita, and a sauce that’s straight-up magic — Apollonia Grill House in Adamantas is your spot. It’s quick, cheap, ridiculously delicious, and a total must after a beach day. Hot tip: order extra sauce on the side. Trust me!
Okto Milos – Need a caffeine fix? Okto Milos brews some of the best coffee on the island. It’s super chill, with great outdoor seating perfect for people-watching as you plan your next beach hop.
O! Hamos! Tavern – O! Hamos! is a total Milos institution. Family-run, with recipes passed down through generations, everything here is authentic and made from local ingredients (many grown on their own farm!). Go for the lamb with oregano and lemon, stay for the adorable hand-painted menus.
Gyros of Milos – Another quick, tasty stop — Gyros of Milos is perfect for a late-night snack or a beach picnic lunch. Cheap, cheerful, and absolutely delicious.
Garden the Juice Bar – If you need to balance out all that feta and fried goodness, Garden the Juice Bar has you covered with smoothies, acai bowls, and fresh-pressed juices.

Pollonia

Captain Zeppos – Captain Zeppos isn’t just a cute hotel — their little terrace restaurant is perfect for sunset drinks and mezze plates. Think local cheeses, olives, and perfectly chilled rosé, all with front-row seats to a pastel-pink sky. Pro tip: You can also book a sailing trip with Captain Zeppos to explore Milos from the sea.
Kivotos ton Gefseon – Chocolate lovers, listen up. Kivotos ton Gefseon is a dreamy bakery and pastry shop that’s famous for its decadent chocolate pie. It’s rich, gooey, and totally worth every calorie.
Mentor Coffee Guidance & More – Another great little café for a slow morning or a post-beach pick-me-up. Mentor does amazing coffee and also has a cute little selection of pastries and small bites.

Tripiti

Barriello – If you’re looking for a romantic dinner spot, Barriello is a stunner. Set in a 200-year-old building in the charming village of Tripiti, it’s all about seasonal, local ingredients — and the cocktails are next-level.
Ergina – Looking for a local taverna without the tourist crowds? Ergina serves up home-style Greek cooking with gorgeous views over the island. It’s a little off the beaten path but 100% worth it.

Plaka

Arethousa Bakery – The smell alone will lure you in. Arethousa Bakery bakes everything fresh daily — grab a spinach pie, honey-drenched baklava, or a crusty baguette for a beach picnic.
Palaios Coffee & Pastry – An old-school Greek café with serious charm, Palaios Coffee & Pastry is the perfect spot for a mid-morning espresso and pastry break.
Piazza Castello – Tucked away near Plaka’s castle, Piazza Castello serves amazing coffee and sweet treats with knockout sunset views. Grab a freddo cappuccino and snag a seat early if you want the best spot.

Other Do-Not-Miss Spots

Medusa (Mandrakia) – For the ultimate ‘lunch with a view experience, head to Medusa in the tiny fishing village of Mandrakia. This classic seaside taverna serves fresh octopus, fried calamari, and cold Mythos beers right on the water’s edge. The vibe? Laid-back Greek island dream.
Sirocco Volcanic Restaurant (Paleochori Beach) – How many restaurants can say they literally cook food in the sand using volcanic heat? Sirocco is a unique Milos experience — don’t miss the slow-cooked lamb or the seafood pasta. Book ahead for a table with your toes in the sand.
