⭐️ 1/5 — Firmly in My Top 3 Worst Restaurant Experiences ever !
I don’t often leave negative reviews, but Remezzo in Mykonos fully earned its place in my Top 3 worst dining experiences — and I genuinely wish that was an exaggeration.
I have light lactose intolerance, so I’m cautious with butter, cream, and heavy dairy, even though I take medication. That’s why I chose what seemed like a safe option: chicken fillet with baby potatoes and tomato confit for €37. Simple enough, right?
Apparently not. A few minutes after ordering, the waiter came back and offered to replace the chicken with beef tagliata, since — shockingly — the chef couldn’t prepare the chicken without butter. Not even by using olive oil. For €37, that was too much to ask.
Having no other lactose-free option on the menu, I went with the tagliata and clearly asked for lactose-free sides — vegetables, salad, potatoes, anything reasonable.
What I received was almost laughable: a few slices of beef and a handful of arugula. That was it. For nearly €50, there wasn’t even a garnish or effort. I sent it back, telling the waiter that I do far better meals at home — and I’m not even a chef.
A few minutes later, the same plate came back, cold and this time with 2–3 cherry tomatoes tossed into the arugula. That was the grand improvement.
To make matters worse, the “special cut” of beef, as proudly advertised by the waiter, was nearly inedible. It was tough, full of fat, and extremely hard to chew. Even my partner — who enjoys well-marbled meats — had trouble getting through it.
We also ordered a selection of dips to start with, and even those were a disappointment. They were far from “special” — bland, forgettable. The eggplant dip was fermented — sour in the wrong way, with a taste and smell that suggested it had been sitting around far too long.
And just when I thought the evening couldn’t get worse — I ended it by vomiting the food. Not due to allergies or overindulgence, but because what I ate was simply not fresh or properly handled.
Throughout the entire experience, my obvious disappointment was met with complete indifference. No apology, no alternative offered, no care shown.
For a restaurant that charges premium prices and presents itself as fine dining, the level of service, food quality, and basic dietary accommodation was shockingly poor.
There are plenty of restaurants in Mykonos with stunning views — many of which actually care about their food and guests. Remezzo, unfortunately, is not...
Read moreI wish I had read the reviews before going there. We went to the center and due to the location and the atmosphere of the restaurant, it caught our attention so we called to reserve. No doubt, the only good thing is the view. We expected much more from this place. First of all, the service does not meet the expectations. We asked a member of the staff for a meat recommendation, and he recommended 2 dishes (one was a main dish wich was a portion to share €145 and the other would serve as a “starter” €65). We trusted the staff's suggestion and came across a supposed “starter” that was also a main dish. (Made no sense because both dishes were meat with a side of potatoes and vegetables, felt like we ate the same twice). Then, when we asked for the bill, we came to the conclusion that the portion served to us as a “starter” was doubled and the price was more than twice that what was mentioned on the menu, without any kind of warning. If this dish was supposed to be a “starter” it would be more that enough one dish and not two dishes of the same meat. It was a disappointment because we trusted the staff's suggestions and that was precisely the biggest mistake we made. As tourists in a new city we are open to new experiences and accepting suggestions from those who live/work here are part of these experiences, but unfortunately we feel that this was just a way of making tourists spend more. Because charging €145 for a “starter” that was €65 on the menu without asking or informing is not something that is up to them to decide, the staff’s attitude left a lot to say. Not to mention that we went on a Sunday and we didn't know that there wasn't the party that there is on the other days...
Read morePLEASE READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE COMING HERE!!! Probably the worst restaurant experience of my life. Honestly have no idea how this place has any good reviews. What a horror show. We were supposed to have a reservation for on the water, of which they confirmed. We got there, and they said we needed to go in 1:30 mins. Then they sat us in a table no where near the water, and when we complained they did nothing. They just gave us attitude. The waitress was incredibly rude (probably the rudest person I've met in any restaurant ever, and that is saying something). She knew nothing about the menu, and just tried to get us to buy the most expensive stuff. We asked about what kind of seafood was in pasta, and they couldn't even answer that. She just left and never came back. I have no idea what they are doing here, but it is like a circus. Honestly should be on a sitcom of what NOT TO DO at a restaurant. Maybe even shutdown for fraudulent activity. Maybe it is a front for drugs, I have no idea. What I can tell you, it is not a good restaurant at all. Not to mention a cocktail was 19 euros, and was mostly ice. The food which we eventually ordered wasn't good at all. I could fine better at an average restaurant and we paid premium prices. I am telling you DO NOT come here. You will regret it. Just ignore the good reviews because it is impossible those are real based off...
