Garden dining
Eleonas
Tables set out under the trees, refined island cooking and a long, unhurried evening. A local favourite, and ours — worth booking ahead in August.

Where to eat & drink
The tables we book ourselves
From a slow brunch by the harbour to the last glass of the night — the places we send every guest to on Alonnisos.
Seafood taverna
Margarita
Warm, generous taverna cooking with fish straight off the boats. Order whatever the day's catch is and share plates down the middle of the table.

To Fanari
The lighthouse. Classic Greek dishes with a view to match the name, on the waterfront at Steni Vala — go early and watch the light go soft over the water.

Tasia's Cooking
Homestyle Alonnisos recipes on the little harbour of Steni Vala, exactly like a Greek grandmother's table: slow-cooked, seasonal and absurdly good value.

Sunset
Time your table for golden hour — the name says it all. Come for a drink first, stay for dinner.

Archondostasi
Elegant plates in the heart of the Old Village (Chora). Our pick for an anniversary, a birthday, or the last night of the holiday.

Exandas Gastro Bar
Right on the harbour at Patitiri, overlooking the sea — the perfect spot for a slow brunch or a coffee while you wait for the ferry to come in. Mediterranean plates, all-day, and a front-row view of the boats.

Aelia Pasta & Wine Bar
A great spot for pasta and authentic Italian food in the Old Village, when you want a change of pace from the tavernas. Good wine, fresh pasta and a relaxed evening among the old stone lanes.

Hayiati Piano Bar
Up in the Old Village, a pastry shop by day that turns into a piano bar after dark. Settle in with a cocktail and homemade desserts and look out over the sea — a wonderful way to end the night in Chora.
