Katogi Greek Tapas

Amazing Greek tapas place, different, good vibes, colourful, tasteful, unique with people that love what they do! We went without booking and we wait around 1h for a table, what for us was no problem. We wait in the bar, drinker nice cocktails and enjoyed the lively atmosphere! The restaurant is spread between some rooms and a patio. The food was worth the wait and super delicious!! Highly recommended! You can call and book a table between certain hours. Loved it!

The best restaurant of the island!!! Recommended by locals and we just know why: the dishes are absolutely delicious, typical grec food with an original touch that makes all the difference. The ambiance and decoration are amazing. Staff’s very attentive, professional and good vibes that makes you feel comfortable even if you need to wait a little to get a table. Just pay attention when you come by car: google maps makes you go to a narrow street witch you need to have luck to park closer. Then you can be lost on the little walk streets before to found the restaurant. Even this is nice. It’s really the best restaurant of the island. Go for it and you’ll never regret it and you’ll wish to come back to live the experience again

The food was just phenomenal!! I had the smoked chicken gryos then a deconstructed baklava with ice cream. A half litre house white for €9! Note to self must drink less... The food is definitely made for sharing so go with at least one other if you can. I saw sat near the kitchen and many dishes come out and suffered from food envy each and every time. The cocktail with a rubber duck sent me into giggles and childhood memories...Wasn't mine so can't name it. Service was friendly and unassuming. Feels like eating in the wonderfully quirky home of a close relative. I'll definitely be back at least once before I leave Ios. If you didn't notice, I more than highly recommend this gem of a place.

“Absolutely amazing experience! The restaurant has such a welcoming atmosphere, and the owners make you feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in. Their positive energy and passion for what they do can be felt in every detail – from the delicious, homemade food to the cozy setting. They took the time to chat with us, share stories about the dishes, and made sure everything was perfect. This is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to – not just for the food, but for the genuine hospitality and good vibes!” Thank you Theodora and your amazing team!!

A must-visit Greek tapas bar in Ios. Katogi has a cool, stylish vibe that feels different from the traditional tavernas — refreshing and fun after days of classic Greek meals. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the service was fast and friendly. We got seats at the bar (the only ones left) and honestly didn’t mind — it made the whole experience even more lively. The place was packed, which says it all. The staff handle waves of tourists every night, so a little kindness goes a long way. Be patient, be nice, and you’ll get great service. If you’re in Chora and want something fun, tasty, and a little different, Katogi is the spot. Book ahead if you can — or get lucky like us at the bar.

Great food. Amazing taste. Specially the tapas and octopus. The fries with mushrooms 10/10 We were waiting too long to seat but it was worth it.

The Food here is absolutely amazing most definitely the best restaurant I’ve eaten at in my whole trip so far it was so so good we came a second time. The owner is so sweet and lovely and the place is such a great vibe overall. definitely coming back next time!

We had to wait about 45 minutes to get inside, and after being seated it took another 20 minutes before someone came to take our order. After ordering, it took 40 minutes for our drinks to arrive. We tried the Wasabi and Cucumber Gin — the taste was amazing — and the Köfteki, which was acceptable. I recommend reserving a table between 11:00 and 14:00, as the atmosphere can be very loud and crowded
