Molyvos · Restaurant

Misirlou

Name: Misirlou
Price range: €€€

Misirlou looks across Molyvos from Poseidonos, pairing a terrace view with a menu that leaves standard port taverna formulas behind. Greek produce appears in composed seafood, meat and vegetable plates, with cocktails and careful presentation drawing a mixed dinner crowd.

Our take

Molyvos gets a different dinner vocabulary

Reserve the outer row. Ask which dishes changed with the season, order starters before mains and leave time for the kitchen's plating; the restaurant suits a paced evening, while anyone chasing a fast harbour meal should eat below.

What visitors say

Misirlou rates 4.8 from roughly 360 Tripadvisor reviews and holds Travelers' Choice recognition; distinctive dishes, family hosting and repeat visits underpin one of Molyvos's strongest records.
