What a great place to spend our 30th anniversary. We were lucky enough to get a reservation on the same day for 8 pm. We arrived at 7:50 and were seated immediately.
The location was good, in the heart of Mykonos town with all the cute shops and restaurants. Great when lit up at night. The patio was covered with fans set on high blast to keep you cool.
The service was our favorite part of the evening. 5 star service start to finish. We can't say enough good things about both the kitchen and the wait staff.
We ordered the Mykonian Onion Pie (€17) and the Scallops (€23) from the appetizer menu, the Beetroot salad (€19), the Fresh Handmade Pasta (€23) and the Traditional Red Veal (€33).
The onion pie was a flaky pastry filled with sauteed onions and cheese, served with a red pepper coulis. This was very tasty, seasoned well and the coulis was a nice complement.
The scallops were served with baked apple, grapefruit and orange slices with a pour over citrus vinaigrette. The presentation was spectacular. Unfortunately this was probably the least successful dish we tried. We felt this dish ate more like a citrus salad than a scallop dish due to the amount of citrus on the plate. We also felt like the citrus components were perhaps not the best compliment to scallops. There were 3 scallops served, 2 cut in half and 1 served whole. They were served cold and tasted slightly overcooked and it appeared the side muscle had not been removed.
The Beetroot salad was yummy and well designed. It was served on a whimsical 2 level plate that included a step in the middle. The beets were prepared in a couple ways and were served with pickled pear and a beetroot infused tzatziki. It was light, well prepared and well balanced. We enjoyed this dish.
The fresh homemade pasta was the highlight of the evening. A bargain at €23! The pasta was large shells or elbows and obviously handmade. They were served with a mushroom ragout, tons of shaved truffle and a creamy cheese that was served in the middle of the plate that we were asked to mix in to the pasta upon arrival. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the mushroom ragout was decadent and unctuous and the truffles were the perfect complement. An amazing dish that we could not stop eating.
The traditional red veal was good but not great. The veal was served in a crockpot as large chunks, roast beef style, in a pool of a red vegetable ragout. A plate of celery root puree was served on the side. The vegetable ragout was delicious, very flavorful and the vegetables were hand cut into small melon balls. Very clever and a lot of work. The celery root puree was my favorite part of this dish. It was so silky, velvety and smooth I could cover myself in that all day. I could not stop eating the puree on its own. Unfortunately the veal was a little chewy and tough. But overall a very successful dish.
At the end of the meal, our server brought us an Anniversary gift. Two pieces of chocolate mixed with hazelnut. They were some of the best chocolates we've ever had in a restaurant.
In the end, we were very fortunate to have eaten here, we loved our special evening and would come back again and again. This was a highlight for our holiday! We...
Read moreSo after walking around mykonos town we saw this really nice restaurant and because of the atmosphere we decided to give it a try. Staff upon entry are very friendly, atmosphere is so beautiful and authentic. However this is where it stops, I can understand the other 1 to 3 star reviews on here as we had a similar experience.
Yes the food is designed beautifully and looks like a michelin star style restaurant. But in my 15 year experience monitoring restaurants I honestly can say that the owners give too much trust in the chefs and accept little or no input from customers or a third party Company to monitor the menu.
We ordered their interpretation of a Greek salad, the feta mousse yes was unusual but worked very well with the garlic bread, however the bowl consisted of only tomatoes with gels and paste that although worked well. Together was missing something, specially a crunchy texture.
The salad was EXTREMELY salty and when we notified the waiter they came back and said it came from the same bowl. Yes we are aware of that but even for me it was extreme level. Of salt out mouths were tingling however I can handle a very high salt level but my partner not however they did not even apologies for this.
Secondly an authentic Greek restaurant does not steam seabass it is not all. Grilled or bbq'd, they do not state on the menu how it is cooked and lacked a huge amount of flavour the same as if you boil plain chicken it has a very dull plain taste to it the same was with the seabass.
We asked for a take away bag as my partner did not enjoy it all compared to the seabass we got the day before from a nearby restaurant that was grilled and full of flavour. We wanted to feed the homeless cats with the second piece so atleast the food does not get wasted but they don't offer takeaway either.
The main course menu is very very limited only about 7 options 2 of which near the 100 euro mark and the rest are fish with one chicken option.
Coke is 6 euros and general price for 2 salads, 1 main and one water and one coke is 103 euro and because of the lack of service and care we did not leave a tip which upset the waiter and he was rude afterwards and sent someone else to us to pay the bill.
It is a shame to see such a nice restaurant lack on so many areas and a lack of respect to the customer we had a much better quality meal at a restaurant 2 minutes away for almost...
Read moreI had a divine experience at M eating in Mykonos Greece! If you do nothing else in this beautiful city, stop here for a meal that will engage all your senses & a staff that will nourish your soul. Yes this place is really that good. Sure we all want delicious Greek food & warm hospitality, but the fabulous service at this place elevates the entire culinary experience. My waiter was an incredible tour guide suggesting the right wine to try with my food and the best way to eat everything we chose so we could experience layers of decadence. He made everything feel like a party in my mouth! A French friend recommended it so I went for lunch to check it out. After that I decided to eat at least one meal there every day. The chef is a native born & raised on the island. Everything he serves is fresh & local. Everything he does is delivered with love. The food was simply sensational. We ate & enjoyed everything on the menu all of which was beautifully presented. After a few days my husband joined me from London & we celebrated my birthday here night after night. To our surprise the kind & pleasant staff draws elite visitors. We met incredibly well-heeled international guest here sitting beside local people on an evening out. The sophisticated atmosphere is the epitome of understated elegance. After living in Beverly Hills for over 30 years I've become quite spoiled. This irresistible world class place definitely met my high standards day after day for over a week....
