Phoebus Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Mykonos

We stopped by this beautiful little corner restaurant on a br🌬️🌬️zy Mykonian night! The greeting by the front of house was very warm and we were seated at a very nice and cozy table at the exterior part of the restaurant.

He explained to us the philosophy of the restaurant which is all about the locality! Foraging for herbs🌿 around the island, working with local farmers🍅, fishermen🐟🎣 and ch🧀🧀se-makers for most of their ingredients 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽!! The other main feature of Phoebus is their fish 🐟! They focus on Aegean local fish and try to explore the realm of dry-ageing fish!

However, enough with the TEDxTalk and let's dive into our dinner experience!!

So we started our meal just like any Greek dinner... Àrtos Warm sourdough bread arrived in front of us with a creamy and airy taramosaláta! The br🥖d was very tasty and "real"! You could smell the grains and the sourdough aroma! The taramosaláta, a fishroe spread that is very common in Gr🇬🇷ce but can also get very unpleasant! Here it was perfection!! Creamy, airy and no unwanted fishy smell/taste!

We paired our dinner with an amazing pale ale 🍻 that was dry hopped with locally picked prickly pears 🏜️ made by the local brewery. It was called "Fragos'co" which means prickly pear in the local dialect!!

After our kick-off, a beautiful tomato salad followed! So the team in the kitchen decided that since the tomato season is not at it's best, they decided to ferment tomatoes in order to intensify it's very own taste! So through the lactofermentation, they make a vinaigrette with the result. The final plate is a "Lact🍅mato"!! Genius 🙌🏽

What followed was the dry aged fish, marinated in tiger milk and topped with fried sweet potato! This dish looks like a rock that has green flora growing in its base and an orange coral 🪸 growing on it!! If you look closely, the microgreens look like little fish around the 🪸!! Can you find Nem🐠?!?

The fish was super soft&tender and the SPFries crispiness contrasted the texture nicely!!

Then the dry aged tuna with in house made mayonaise, chives and artichoke "avgolemono" sauce was a very nice follow up to the 🪸!!

It was super creamy, with amazing presentation and a very nice church-bread-crip (wish I could get more!!)

Then, one-before-last, we finished our savory journey at Phoebus with a random choice for a pescatarian restaurant... The cauliflower steak!! This my friends is an outstanding choice! Nicely seared on the grill with an amazing smokiness and beautiful bite! The hazelnut adds to the cauliflower's nuttiness and what rounded the dish off was the Mikònu brewery sweet crisp (pastéli) that was a pleasant sweet pop, preparing us for the next stage:

Dessert!!

A very interesting fussion/interpretation or the traditional Greek galactobùreko was presented! Crispy phyllo dough, a beautiful homogenous rice pudding cream. Perfection!

Light, not overly sweet. A great option to finish off your amazing dinner!

All in all, the restaurant has an interesting concept, great and attentive service, an amazing "old Greece" ambiance and most importantly: great food that makes you think 🤔💬

I will most definitely be back here!

Highly recommend that you visit this restaurant during your visit in Mykonos, specially if you love a fish...

I’ve visited Phoebus for a dinner. From the first moment of walking in, I felt family vibes from the guys working. Everyone showed incredible hospitality and make us feel welcomed.

The menu offers a variety of options, it is well structured and intimidating.

The menu is pescatarian. They offer a selection of spreads (along with bread), and a variety of starters and main dishes that are delicious. It is clear that the menu-makers put quite an effort on it, since all the plates have an amazing appearance and are ultra delicious.
