Noema Mykonos

Noema sits in the Panachra district, a five-minute walk from the alleys of Little Venice. This Mediterranean fusion restaurant focuses on local seafood in a setting where the room runs smart and elegant.

Most dining in this part of the island uses the scenery of the water to do the work, but Noema succeeds by ignoring the harbour entirely. While its neighbours compete to capture sightlines of the Aegean, this kitchen focuses inward on the plate. It is a retreat from the high-traffic thoroughfares of Matogianni Street; where the rest of the quarter demands you watch the sunset, Noema asks you to watch the table. You come here when the crowds at the Old Port become too much to handle.
