Root Restaurant Milos — Restaurant in Municipality of Milos

Had some of the sweetest service at this restaurant and really beautiful, delicious food. The atmosphere was a bit odd with quiet club music and the restaurant was virtually empty.

Started with the carpaccio fish and meatballs, both of which were very delicious and well balanced. For mains had the goat and deconstructed pastitsio. Both mains had a slow cooked shredded meat which was moist and delicious but similar in texture (our fault for ordering this-should have gotten the grilled pork or fish instead of one of these mains). The goat was delicious although I didn’t taste any lemon in either the lemon-oregano mashed potatoes or the lemon-thyme sauce. It was just a lovely pressed slow cooked square of goat with a really nice Demi glaze and smooth mashed potatoes. Probably the most disappointing dish of the meal just because it didn’t meet the lemon forward expectation. Regardless, still delicious and stunning to look at. The pastitsio was cooked very well although the meat sauce could have included some cinnamon stick to make it feel a bit more traditional, but the bechamel cream was incredible and the pasta was perfectly al dente.

This is very much Greek influenced fine dining in the sense that you will get very similar flavours to a taverna but elevated and in a different medium (for example, there was a dill oil that showed up in almost all the dishes, giving a distinctly Greek flavour to elements like mashed potatoes or tomato-bell pepper cream).

For dessert we had the tsoureki which had a strong mastiha flavour and came with an incredible pistachio ice cream. A bit disappointed to see that same 17 euro tsoureki bread served at breakfast the next day in the buffet though.

Overall a very expensive meal, if you want to experience a fine dining meal by the beach I would recommend but I do feel like it was a bit overpriced despite how clever the menu and elements of the...

The hotel was very stylish and beautifully decorated.

The view from the restaurant also gorgeous (try to go for early dinner so you can actually see the sea, when it gets dark you can’t see a single thing).

Now food… food food food. Very disappointing. Everything we tried was either average or bad unfortunately.

I honestly can’t find a single thing to mention for you to try.

Homemade pasta pastitsio could have been a good dish if the pasta was actually boiled. 😬 the sauce was tasty. Pasta was just wrong.

The traxanas with the chicken was also boring.

The mousaka had interesting presentation but also nothing special in terms of taste.

We got 3 desserts. The rice pouting, the orange pie with coconut ice cream and the chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce.

We’ve been told they’re not the traditional desserts we expect they come with a twist.

The rice pouting: boring. The orange pie: probably the worst dessert I’ve had in my life. Just a crunchy piece of sugar. The coconut ice cream was good.

The chocolate one I was the only one actually liking it. The rest of the group also didn’t like it.

We were looking for a nice dining experience in Milos and unfortunately although this one had good reviews it was very very underwhelming.

I hope they’re doing better during summer. I blame it at the end...

We were pleasantly surprised by the food here. The Steamed Mussels appetizer was a unique and delicious preparation. We also enjoyed our mains — the celery root steak, and goat (husband said it’s the best meat he has had in all of Greece) and the watermelon pie for dessert had lots of great textures and was very light and refreshing. Wish it wasn’t bright as day in the dining room at 10pm. Dimmer lighting would’ve offered a nice ambiance. At least we had a view overlooking the ocean and sunset. Service was standard, nothing exceptional....
