Muses Restaurant — Restaurant in Skopelos Municipality

Where to start…. The restaurant « looks » very cool from an outside pov, waiters.tresses are wearing uniforms, it looks clean. And that’s it.

We ordered our food: 2 seafood platters, boar sausages and a swordfish dish. We couldn’t order wine from the first waiter who mentioned the « sommelier » is coming…. Well, he did not come by himself, we had to remind them thrice we wanted to order wine before the sommelier came. The wine menu is very detailed so it would have been enough but then, the sommelier started to drown us with tons (too much) of explanations and details about the wine whilst our only question was: which wine do you recommend to match the seafood platter? We couldn’t stop him and he obviously started by recommending the most expensive one… Also, the sommelier was clearly missing professional skills and did not know how to serve wine as he poured some on my partner’s phone.

Back to our food, the plates were pretty late to arrive: we had a booking at 20:00, the plate arrived at 21:15. The wait was far too long. Let’s start with the seafood platter: VERY disappointed. The menu mentioned « squids and cod » not fried squids and cod. When ordering a seafood platter from a seaside restaurant you definitely expect fresh fish and seafood, not FRIED. The menu mentioned « Shrimps » so a plural noun… why was it a single shrimp per person then? Also, where were the mussels? Again, mentioned in the menu but non existent in the plate. Garlic sauce was mentioned but it got replaced by something like a bad tzatziki. And last but not least, the salad was drenched in balsamic…. Overall, the variety of fish and seafood was off, a very narrow choice. Moving on to the boar sausages, three sausages was satisfying but they were very salty and the side was… just a potato and half and the « paprika sauce » tasted more like mayonnaise. A LOT of mayonnaise. The swordfish was good, though.

At the end, the owner is sitting in the middle between the main room and the toilets. At the check, my father’s credit card had an issue and I ended up paying. The owner made a very disturbing joke to me and even came to the table to repeat it to the whole family. NOT. NECESSARY. Learn to be professional.

However, the ladies were clean with amenities available.

Price wise? Way too expensive, had dinner at much better places in Skopelos with a better quality-price value. Paying +220€ for an awful experience, if that’s what you’re looking for, go ahead.

A terrible restaurant, lack of professional skills and food is a huge meh, avoid...

What a Gem 💎! Been there with my fiance on an early Thursday evening. The wine yard over our head made for the best shadow provider we could have ever asked for, to begin with. We were greeted by a very kind middle aged waiter(?)(might have been the owner) who has clearly a deep understanding of high class table service. His voice deep and firm made you trust every single suggestion he was to make and be assured he wasn't trying to rip you off by making you order more than you d ever be able to eat. He actually suggested that we've ordered one too many main courses and that d be better off without it! So we trusted him and he was spot on! The portions were generous and the flavour was very rich, we were left speechless. We hadn't searched for this restaurant online before so we didn't know what to expect. We couldn't have been happier with our random choice of visiting it. Definitely will be visiting again once on Skopelos next. Ps* We had the skopelos Dakos, tzatziki and patatinia for starters and the stuffed squid for main course. We accompanied the food with two glasses of malagouzia wine. Spot on! Couldn't...
