Rosemary — Restaurant in Skopelos Municipality

A Hidden Gem in Skopelos – Rosemary Restaurant

Our family of four stumbled upon Rosemary during our stay in Skopelos, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we stepped onto the covered patio, we were taken in by the calm and inviting atmosphere. A jasmine trellis arches gracefully over the dining area, infusing the air with a soft, natural aroma—never overpowering, just the perfect touch of elegance and serenity.

For dinner, we each tried something different and every dish hit the mark. My wife had the falafel, which she said was some of the best she’s ever had. The kids ordered burgers and devoured them without a single complaint (a small miracle). I went for the beef in red sauce—perfectly cooked and seasoned. The standout, though, was the hummus: incredibly fresh, smooth, and possibly the best we’ve ever had. Prices were more than reasonable, especially given the quality of both food and setting.

Background music—a mix of soft jazz and classics—set the tone for a peaceful, unrushed evening. We never had to raise our voices to talk, which only added to the charm. The service was equally outstanding, led by the ever-attentive and warm Katia (aka “Super Cat”), who made us feel like honored guests.

We were so impressed that we came back the next morning for breakfast—and if it’s possible, the experience was even better. The omelets were fluffy and flavorful, the croissants fresh, and the coffee—whether latte, cappuccino, or espresso—was top-tier.

Rosemary is a rare blend of authentic flavor, welcoming atmosphere, and heartfelt service. If you’re in Skopelos, don’t...

Ok, you leave town in direction of Stafylos. After 1 km (20 min walk- good for your appetite) you reach Rosemary a quaint and cozy restaurant which is sunken into the road, and secluded by lovely oleander and herb bushes. Get down there and enjoy spoonfuls of home cooking, made by Filios and served by his son Panos. Try the Moussaka ( to die for, the aubergine melts in your mouth)the Ossobouko - sweet herb/cinnamon/cumin flavors with carrots and celery. Succulent Veal. Or the classic chicken with lemon. The thin fries that come with it are hand cut, when ordered, and fried. But If you want to enjoy a great burger or go completely vegan, it is no problem. Go green, Go Rosemary! Inside, you cannot resist the homemade pots of fruits/ chutneys to take home, or buy one of the bottles of local wines. Filios has a passion for fine taste without airs. This little hideaway gem also serves breakfast and lunches. Try it! It’s worth the walk!! And then...

Sometimes in Greece, the best restaurants are the ones you don’t expect anything extraordinary of. To find those hidden gems among the masses of tourist traps, where you can experience a glimpse of the real greece food and culture, their way of carefully preparing and cherishing produce from their own land, pure Mediterranean food and sensations for both the body and the soul. In Rosemary we found one of those..

Located along one of the few main roads of Skópelos, we dropped by here looking for an early lunch and were greeted by the owner of the restaurant. He did not just prepare us one of the best food experiences we had here in Greece, moreover everything they offer you is grown and harvested by them and so is the feelings that come with eating there, it feels real and pure in its very own form like the pulse of nature you can feel while tasting the oil from their own olives or eating the tomatoes that were ripping during months of...
