Shaded from the breeze that whips off the sea but still nestled right beside it in the protected bay of Parikia, Cabana Bar is where time lethargically unfurls itself, stretching the day out between those fresh, early morning dips to cool evenings under swaying palm trees and tealights. Parostiá (taking its name from the stone oven of traditional Parian houses), one of two restaurants here, is sandwiched between the pool area and the beach and benefits from breathtaking views across the Bay of Nausoa, ever-changing as the sun dips and the lights of the nearby towns dance differently across the waters.Īddress: Parostià Restaurant, Cosme, Naousa 844 01, Greece Website: Cabana Bar His ‘Medite-Grecian’ approach is distilled across both restaurants here. The culinary offering here is curated by celebrated Greek chef Yiannis Kiorohlou, who well-travelled foodies might recognise as the brains, and brilliance, behind Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe, including La Guérite Restaurant, La Petite Maison in Cannes, establishing them as a culinary destination along with sister La Guerite restaurants in Saint Barts, the West Indies and across the globe. Soso is so, so grass-roots that instead of a website, it has only a Facebook page, where the owners share menus, photos of their own travels and merry greetings to a loyal clientele. The menu is small but perfectly formed, with various meat, fish and cheese-based dishes, each offering an authentic flavour of the island and its heritage. They must be booked ahead, as the reasonable prices and down-to-earth, bona fide atmosphere mean that loyal customers return here again and again. Tucked away down a quiet, bougainvillaea-clad alley, tables are limited. SosoĪ hidden gem whispered online within Paros’ inner circles and food-loving travellers in the know, Soso’s refined take on homely food makes it a must-visit for those far from their own. Look out for locally-loved dishes of Kalfas with garlic, baked chickpeas in a clay pot, artichokes with broad beans, rice with sweet zucchini and string beans with garlic, though all the best restaurants on this Cycladic island offer much more besides. From those tucked into mountainside hotels to the more extrovert options, sprawled out across the honey-hued sands. And so it stands to reason that on this Greek island, there are lots of wonderful Paros restaurants, with its unrivalled Byzantine footpaths, traditional fishing villages and windmill-peppered hillsides. Food here is more than just fuel it’s about love, thought, and pausing to savour a moment, whether curbside souvlaki or a decadent spread. Sitting down to dine, particularly with family, is a stalwart tradition across Greece.
