Kiki's Tavern

This guide to Kiki's Tavern in Mykonos explores a hillside restaurant above Agios Sostis beach that has run for decades with no sign, no phone line and no power cable, cooking everything over a charcoal grill by eye. It follows how the open kitchen doubles as a salad bar, the twenty-four seats tucked among grapevines, and what happens to the long lines that form with no way to book ahead. You'll hear how the owners turn the wait itself into part of the visit. Settle in under the grape arbor and watch the coals glow while you wait.
