Olivo Restaurant

Name: Olivo Restaurant
Price range: €€€

Olivo uses the old olive-factory quarter for a garden dining room scented by jasmine, several streets back from the waterfront. Lamb shank with saffron, beetroot risotto, mushroom and feta pie, stuffed burgers and chocolate soup give Greek staples a composed, restaurant-style finish.

Our take

Jasmine replaces the harbour diesel

Dinner starts around 6:30pm. Reserve outdoors, state gluten restrictions while ordering and budget for €40 per person if starters and wine join the mains; reviews praise careful meat cookery but regularly note that prices exceed nearby tavernas.

What visitors say

Olivo rates 4.3 from about 994 Tripadvisor reviews and 4.3 across more than 860 Google ratings; lamb, garden seating and presentation lead praise, with higher prices the repeated caution.

Restaurant

Finikas Restaurant

Finikas fits a small dining room and a few outdoor tables into the Sofadakia lanes, away from the port road. The family cooks a short list of moussaka, skordalia, pies and changing dishes such as lamb with rosemary or pork with prunes, while passing bicycles squeeze between waiting diners.

Restaurant

Taverna Peparithos

Peparithos grills meat in view of arriving diners on the uphill ring road, where a plain courtyard draws Greek families away from Skopelos Town's waterfront menus. Barbecued pork, lamb, roast chicken, stuffed peppers and a thick-cut saganaki favour charcoal and oven cooking over decorative plating.

Restaurant

The Muses

The Muses places tables at the water's edge on the quieter eastern side of Skopelos Town, beyond the central ferry traffic. Daily fish, seafood linguine, tuna with lentils and bacon-wrapped chicken shift the menu toward plated Mediterranean cooking instead of a shared-meze procession.
