I have been going to Mykonos Taverna ever since it was a take away back in the day. The food has always been simply amazing and very tasty. Since it reopened 20 years ago it has gone from strength to strength. The signature dish (lamb shank) is simply irresistible and the calamari is the best in town. Food portions are more than reasonable and everything is fresh. Great festive atmosphere and super-efficient and friendly staff. Always a winner.
Really friendly, vibrant atmosphere- will definitely be back!
Love the mezzo platters here
After reading all the reviews on this restaurant, we decided to try it out. We pitched up without a reservation and even though the place was packed, they happily made a plan and accommodated us. Staff were friendly, very attentive and food was served really quickly. They even kept our one year old busy and entertained him so that we could quickly eat our meals. Baklava was amazing! Great place and hats off to the awesome staff. Keep it up.
Food was amazing from starters to desert, good size portions, everything is fresh and tasty.
Staff friendly and very attentive. Prices are responsible. Will definitely recommend the restaurant for a good night out.
Atmosphere great!
Went to this restaurant with a friend for lunch. The staff are friendly and it had a very chilled ambiance. I ordered the lamb chops, with potato mash and veggies and my friend ordered baby chicken with the same sides. The portion sizes were good (the baby chicken was not so baby lol) and the food was really delicious! I really enjoyed my meal. My friend enjoyed his as well! Overall very pleasant experience.
I wasn’t a greek food fan until I tried this place!!!
Please do yourself a favour and order lamb :)
They have clean white decor with very attentive service from waiters. This place can be extremely busy or even fully booked. Please book the table if you going after payday or in summer high season.
Other food I can recommend are vegetarian gyro and calamari! Oh they are delicious!
Their ribs and chicken are okay, not wow.
A quick walk away from our home and we love it here. Simple and clean decor with a touch of fairy light magic. Greek music. Delicious food. The mezze is so yummy. Tarama, dolmades and spanakopita are a must have. The lamb gyro, the youvetsi and the sardines with a greek salad are firm favourites. Fresh and beautiful food. Bravo.
A review from a Greek herself: my favourite Greek restaurant in Cape Town.
The food is amazing! Absolutely love the mezzes and the gyros - they’ve also got the pita bread just right. We always used to enjoy a good Mythos in the sunset but unfortunately they don’t stock them anymore. However, the service is always good though and they do plate-breaking some Saturday evenings too, which is great for functions. Highly recommend!
LOVE, love, love! The haloumi starter, the vegetarian dishes, the baklava! It is amazing! I love the food and the atmosphere of this quaint little Greek restaurant where they even break plates on special nights! I especially love the chicken pitas/shwarmas and the tzatziki!
The food looked and smelled sooo divine I forgot to take photos! That just means I NEED TO GO BACK!!
We went late at night and it was lovely. If it is your birthday they sing for you (yay!). No playes were broken though. It is a family restaurant which feels warm and looks authentic.
We ordered 3 meals and shared among ourselves to taste everything. We had the lamb chops (so juicy and succulent); the chicken fillet with feta and parmesan (rich, creamy and delightful) and we had the seafood trio (thinking about the fish makes me want to have it all over again. The highlight was the kingklip; the calamari was great to but the prawns were just above average). I would rate the food an 8.5 out of 10. They also have homemade chilli (bonus!)
I love Greek food and don't often get the chance to eat it, so was delighted to find Mykonos on a recent visit to Sea Point. The staff were warm, friendly and welcoming and we had excellent service throughout the evening from all waiters, not just the one who was allocated to our table . I actually complimented the manager on the level of service as it was so good. Food was very good, served quickly and was really tasty. We had a selection of mezze which was a great way to taste different things. The calamari tubes were especially delicious as were the triangles filled with feta. But it was all delicious. I've only given 4 stars for the atmosphere as it was rather empty, think it needs more people to give some vibe. But a really good evening anyway.
Long established Sea Point eaterie.
Standard, non fussy good quality Greek style food.
Large portion of tasty Kleftiko and and silky mash potato.
Fish combo could have been hotter when served, just on the edge of it being sent back.
Will, of course go back.
Food was average
Service was excellent - specially our waiter Kennedy who was very helpful.
The team has some way to go to improve the food and nail it as authentic Greek but at least they have a good team of waiters in place to deliver that.
I’ve been here before and I don’t remember it to be as good as it was this time. It was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The lamb yiro is amazing. We shared a few dishes and all of them were really really good. I heard that they may be closing and or moving some time soon. I hope they move and don’t close down because this is a really top Greek restaurant in Sea Point. Phone and book because it is popular and gets very busy.
Best Greek food in Cape Town.
The Mezze is always so delicious and tastes exactly as it would in Greece. A must try restaurant. Wonderful variety and everything flavourful and delicious.
Really great setting, great atmosphere, friendly service, and awesome food. I just had the Mousakka, with rice & salad. It was very good.
Had a great dinner tonight. Got the mezze plate to share for 2 people. Service was 100%, loved our server. Fun restaurant too.
One of my favourite Greek restaurants. We always order the platter for 4. Great value for money
Gorgeous restaurant.
We had the Mykonos Mezze Platter for two - cannot fault a single item on this platter. It was delicious.
