Paros Taverna (Where To Eat In Parikia #1 Choice)

This is your classic Greek Taverna. It’s family run, and full of locals. That’s always a good sign. I personally prefer places that don’t shut down after season, because if the locals like it you know it’s good. The house bread is fantastic!

In fact, if I had to choose the best dinner in Parika, Paros I would pick this restaurant again and again. The food is so delicious but it’s served without pretense or fuss like some other places on the island. This charming Paros taverna is a place I still think about every time I reminisce about my trips to Parikia!

They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area has an open grill where you can see them making your food if you order food like souvlaki or gyros. Prices are extremely affordable (€10 for a liter of house wine…woo-hoo) compared to some other restaurants in Parikia.

Recommendations: the Moussaka and the Lamb Chops.

Aromas Restaurant

This is a beautiful restaurant situated right on the main strip facing the sea. To be honest the food was hit or miss, Cody and I loved our dishes (Gouna and Octopus) whereas his parents didn’t care much for their meat. I’m thinking if you stick to seafood you’ll be happy.

Aromas restaurant is a bit on the pricey side, but if you want a nice setting and some great seafood this is a good choice. Here you’ll find some of the best food in Parikia.

Recommendations: seafood, especially the Gouna (sun-dried fish)

Pitta Hellas Restaurant

This place is one of my favorites for one main reason: their Perfect Fish Salad.

It’s literally called that on the menu. Honestly its more a seafood salad than just fish, but it may be the best seafood salad I’ve ever had in my life. There were fish, mussels, calamari, octopus, lox, shrimp and just a bit of lettuce. All tossed in a phenomenal balsamic based salad dressing.

Now you may be wondering if you should get some actual pita at a place called pitta Hellas, and the answer is yes. They do great gyros and some of the best souvlaki in Parikia.

Recommendations: The Perfect Fish Salad, Spicy Grilled Feta, Lamb Souvlaki

Yiannoulis Taverna

This is another Taverna and it’s right in the main square. We ordered probably 10 different things here and all were great. Service was fantastic and the seafood was so fresh I was honestly surprised.

I got the stuffed pepper and tomato, and Cody got the Mix Seafood for 1 which has Grilled fish, grilled Sardines, shrimp, octopus, calamari, swordfish, mussels (€19) and we split our meals between us. The seafood for 1 is really enough for 2 in my opinion. His parents got grilled Sardines (wonderful) and souvlaki.

Recommendations: Grilled Sardines (if fresh), Spicy Grilled Feta, Calamari
