Ducato Di Astypalea — Restaurant in Municipality of Astypalaia

Astypalaia's best culinary intricacies. A restaurant standing in a class of its own. Honestly its separate from the typical Greek tavern an yet it manages to recreate traditional dishes into modern cuisine. Astypalaia is a blessed island. Sea food as fresh as it gets. Local lamb in abundance. Hand picked saffron oddly enough indigenous on the island even local potatoes and locally brewed beer :"Katsika" which in Greece means goat. All these ingredients in the hands of Doucato's chef makes for a extraordinary food experience. Make sure to taste goat pie, and fresh potatoes as a side dish. Above all order in advancε seabass cooked inside salt. It takes at least two hours to prepare it properly so make arrangements beforehand. Give a call to Mrs.Popi while making the reservation.

If you’re visiting Astypalaia, Ducato is an absolute must. The food here is truly out of this world – every dish is crafted with care, flavor, and a touch of magic that makes the entire dining experience unforgettable.

The mpougatsa is , creamy, and comforting, while the cheesecake is light, dreamy, and downright addictive. Each spoonful is pure bliss. Ducato offers a culinary journey you won’t forget. Highly recommended for food lovers looking for something truly special...

Definitely one of the upper-end dining options in town and the one on the square of Chora. The staff is very friendly and the ambience welcoming. The menu is not very ample but offers a varied and balanced choice where local fresh produce is key (I literally saw three merchants bringing goods while I was eating). The presentation is appropriate and the food flavorful. Yet, there’s no major, truly remarkable creative twist in what you’re served, despite the attempt to reinterpret traditional cuisine. All things considered, I would still recommend this restaurant anytime for the overall very pleasant experience, the quality of the produce and the skillful handling of the...
