Where to Eat in Sifnos: The Best Restaurants and Bars

November 6, 2017 Florencio Paulino

Sifnos (Greek: Σίφνος; the spelling Siphnos is obsolete in English but still by convention often used to refer to the island in ancient times) is an island municipality in the Cyclades island group in Greece. The main town, near the center, known as Apollonia (pop. 869), is home of the island's folklore museum and library. The town's name is thought to come from an ancient temple of Apollo on the site of the church of Panayia Yeraniofora. The second-largest town is Artemonas (800), thought to be named after an ancient temple of Apollo's sister-goddess Artemis, located at the site of the church of Panayia Kokhi. The village of Kastro (118), was the capital of the island during ancient times until 1836. It is built on top of a high cliff on the island's east shore and today has extensive medieval remains and is the location of the island's archeological museum. The port settlement, on the west coast of the island is known as Kamares (245).

While staying in Platys Gialos we visited place twice for lunch and dinner. Restaurant has a lot to offer and food is very nice and tasty. Fishes and sea food sometimes come frozen so if you mind ask waiter for it. Recommended to visit when you are around !!

Absinthe

Romantic environment with a great view and protected from undesirable weather.<br><br>Closed for the season. We will re-open May 1st. Winter is coming.

Reviewed By Munichbee - Munich, Germany

Absinthe is a restaurant that over the years has maintained an excellent standard offering high quality and tasty dishes, served in a charming, professional way in a unique, beautiful environment. Every time I come here there are also new dishes being created like the delicious tuna tartar served on a beautiful plate made by a local pottery. It was heavenly as was the excellent Greek rose wine! I also noticed a small exhibition of Sifnos photographies on the walls!

Meropi

Greek restaurant on the island of Sifnos, in the village of Kamares. Not far from where boats dock.

Reviewed By Munichbee - Munich, Germany

Meropi is a nice traditional Sifnos taverna where you can likewise enjoy watching the water or the people strolling by on the port street. Enjoy some traditional dishes like the Sunday chick peas or a simple Greek salad and feel you are on holiday.

Although the food here is not in the top ratings to other similar restaurants on Sifnos, they take the prize for their hospitality and friendliness. I would opt for their pastas rather than their pizzas.

Delfini Restaurant

HOMEMADE TRADITIONAL TASTES You don’t need a silver fork to eat good food. We cook for you with love

Reviewed By DamTom - Copenhagen, Denmark

This Place has a stunning view for an evening meal. But the food is even better. We had a mixed souvlaki, a Big serving. And some meatballs with cheese sauce. All tasted perfect. The Place is a bit away from Kamares center but it is well worth a visit. For that kind of food and view it is reasonable prises. About 60 euros for a family of four with drinks and without starters or desserts. The staff was also very kind and attentive. We had 6 nights in Kamares and We tried different restaurants every Night. Delfini was the Best.

Perfect italian restaurant situated exactly in the center of apolonia. Open just for dinner. Very professional service, good italian wine selection and fresh original italian food. I dont understand the complains about the prices? How much do you want to spend in a good italian restaurant? 10€ per person? Go and take a souvlaki!

Camaron Restaurant

Reviewed By SoiledGreen - Atlanta

Although we visited Camaron on our last visit here and were not impressed, mostly due to the chaos of the passing cars and trucks while seated right by the road,we needed to have some comfort food(pizza) one night and opted for this place since the one next door was jam -packed. We managed to get a table on the balcony this time which made our stay a bit more tolerable. Very good pizza and good Caesar's salad . Very warm and and somewhat sour red wine.

A trip back to the 90's to a touristic Greece we would like to forget!!! Staff trying to "fish out" customers from the street and a mixed cuisine trying to combine some traditional dishes with some other "forgotten" international ones. Complete lack of imagination combined...MoreNo comments for a critic that represents the minority of the total 233 so far.

Reviewed By Gerhard P - Geneva, Switzerland

We were very enthusiastic about everything regarding this family-run sea-side restaurant in 2015 and reviewed it most favourably then. We returned last year and, again, were duly impressed. This year, however, we were disappointed. There were no lobsters, very few fish to choose from (the one we opted for was over-cooked) and the pana cotta - still good - seemed no longer to be "on the house". More importantly, we had reserved a table, were seated on arrival and then asked to move "for someone who had reserved before us". Service was very slow and the friendliness and enthusiasm of earlier days had disappeared. We will try it again next year, in the hope things will be excellent again. If not.., there are many other restaurants on the island, some of which continue to be outstanding.
