When it comes to eating out, there is a surprisingly long selection of authentic, Greek tavernas and restaurants. Here are a few to help you get started.
Kali Kardia “Bohoris”, Chorio
This all-time-classic taverna serving traditional Greek dishes is the oldest one in Kimolos and stays open in winter. It’s one of the most popular places to eat in Kimolos for local workers who come for lunch, and most visitors will sit here at some point. In the evening, it tends to expand out on the street, and you will see more and more tables being added.
Meltemi, Chorio
This is a modern Kimolian cuisine restaurant. The view is amazing and the chef Augustos Galanos offers you unique dishes that combine local flavors and aromas of Greece and the Aegean.
Taverna on Kalamitsi beach
If you first visited Greece in the 1980s and have been looking for that type of vibe ever since look no further. This small family-run taverna on Kalamitsi beach will take you back in time. And if this is your first time in Greece, all we can say is you were wise to visit Kimolos! This no-frills seaside taverna has a mix of slow-cooked dishes and grilled meats, and while the menu is not super long, you will be spoilt for choice.
Sardis, Bonatsa Beach
This famous taverna specializes in fresh fish and seafood dishes, such as their trademark lobster pasta. Other popular dishes include the wild goat stew and their home-grown eggplant dishes. Don’t forget to ask for the day’s specials and any starters and small dishes.
I Palaia Agora Grillhouse, Chorio
This grill house is right in the middle of Chorio, close to Panagia I Odigitria church. They have souvlaki, sausages, and other grilled meats, salads, and fries.
