Niko's Taverna.

This seafood restaurant is located right in Little Venice, accessible only by foot. It's a local favorite, serving up delicious seafood in a European style, like whole grilled or fried fish, shrimp, and octopus. They also have pasta dishes with tomato or cream sauces. Eating here is so much fun because of the lively atmosphere with people walking by – it makes the meal even more enjoyable! Perfect for anyone looking for tasty seafood that's quick and doesn't take too long.

Unpopular opinion maybe but I was underwhelmed. I had it in my head I would go to Nice n Easy on the coast since it had better reviews. A local artist swore by Niko’s so we decided to try it. Located close to the water shuttle in Little Venice it was centrally located around most of the shopping areas. We were met by mostly grunts and scowls to sit down. As with most European restaurants there is no urgency and you must wave down a waiter. Which is fine, but there were no pleasantries or cultural exchanges. The seating area is all outside on a slanted road with very small tables. It is in a busy walking path among the shops so while busy it wasn’t completely distracting. The noise level was moderate but could easily hold a conversation. The bathrooms were inside next to the kitchen and going could see minimal indoor seating. The sourdough was really good along with the olive oil which I have to believe was fresh. We REALLY wanted grilled octopus so we ordered that and a pasta of grilled octopus, along with a fried cheese. The grilled octopus was great and seasoned well. The pasta was eggshell and less impressive. The red sauce was watery and bland mostly but a great deal of octopus chunks in every bite. At the End of the Day - Nikos was bland and underwhelming and unwelcoming to tourists. It’s fine I’ll only go there once and I got my seafood I wanted. Skip this place despite the locals and try Nice N Easy and tell me if your experience was better than mine!

Food is very touristic. Flavors are weird. The artichoke salad had curry and mayo!! I was expecting Mediterranean olive oil… mushroom has Gorgonzola not Roquefort at all. The saganaki cheese has batter !!! Wine totally watered down. Ice cream is supermarket ice cream and had ice in it. However the waiters were very nice. Nice seating area. Nice vibe.

The food here was okay, but the flavors weren’t anything particularly special. They accommodated us quickly, which was great. However, one downside was the bread they served, it seemed like an appetizer or complimentary, but we were surprised to find out we were charged extra for it. It would have been better if they clarified that beforehand, as it wasn’t something we had ordered. Overall, the experience was fine, but a bit more transparency would improve it.

A lively and authentic Greek taverna right in the heart of Little Venice. The menu is huge, with something for everyone, and the flavors are spot on. We tried the lamb with couscous and the beef with mashed potatoes – both in a tangy lemon sauce – and they were delicious. For dessert, the ekmek kunefe was simply outstanding, the perfect sweet ending to a generous Greek meal. Busy, full of life, yet cozy and welcoming – exactly what you hope to find in Mykonos.

Do NOT eat here. This place is a pure tourist trap. The picture speaks for itself: squid has no flavor and is super dry. Bland soggy fries. Dried up grilled meat. What a disappointing lunch in a beautiful town full of restaurants in Mykonos.. worst food in Greece I’ve had. Does not do it any justice whatsoever.. Yuck!

I am a level 6 Google reviewer. This is a place I always come to eat when in Mykonos. Very traditional. Friendly staff (even when the place gets very popular and it does get very busy). Prices…. The best and very reasonable. And we are talking that we are 3min on foot from Hora. I don’t agree with other reviewers that said that is very touristic… I found it very delicious and with local flavours. And tzatziki was… amazing!!!

We had the Greek salad, rabbit in orange sauce, and another dish — everything was absolutely delicious! The place is very popular, so don’t expect lightning-fast service, but it’s worth the wait. My wife and I would definitely come back.
