Meze 2 (Naxos Town/Plaka)

Sea view doesn't come at the expense of quality at this waterside restaurant, serving delicious local meze. Seafood is the true star of the show: try octopus, mussels, and, of course, fish caught that same day as part of small plates cooked Naxian- and Cretan-style.

Rotonda (Apeiranthos)

No establishment on Naxos is quite like Rotonda — a unique restaurant set on the hilltop, with panoramic (360-degree) views unfolding before diners' very eyes. The view alone would be worth the trip, but the Restaurant has excellent contemporary Greek and Mediterranean cuisine to show for its fame.

Sarris Tavern (Naxos Town)

The excellent value Greek tavern is located only a stone's throw away from the Naxos' waterfront, smack in the middle of a busy touristy street. Despite the prime location, the tavern charges vary fair prices for the generous portions of authentic Greek food served.

Taverna Axiotissa (Kastraki)

Beyond any doubt one of the finest on the island, Axiotissa is known first and foremost for its organic dish ingredients and wines, all grown and produced by the owners. Naxian fish, meat, and vegetables are all cooked to perfection (do try the daily specials). Booking essential for evening dining.

Giannis Tavern (Halki)

Take a seat in the shaded leafy square in the very heart of Naxos and tuck into an authentic Greek culinary creation. Meat and chicken are the focal points; these are accompanied by a variety of sides and traditional layered dough spinach and cheese pies.

Metaxi mas (Naxos Town)

Located in one of the tiny town alleys (do sit outside if the weather allows), Metaxi mas offers some of the best-value local meals in the old market area. Try one of the saganaki varieties, the melt-in-your-mouth veal with vegetables, or any of the dishes, with a complimentary dessert afterwards.

Matina & Stavros Tavern (Kronos)

O Giorgis (Melanes)

The standout establishment in east-of-the-Hora village of Melanes, O Giorgis serves very decent home-made Greek cuisine to those who happen to pass through the settlement on a hiking route. Try one of the pot stews, or — at the weekends — savour a piece of whole-roasted pig.
