Sifnos · Restaurant

Pelicanos

Name: Pelicanos
Price range: €€€

Pelicanos spreads an all-day terrace along Faros beach, close enough to combine lunch with a swim without moving the car. Families and groups get a contemporary seafood menu, broad wine choices and enough space for larger tables, while fishing boats sit inside the bay.

Our take

Faros lunch grows into dinner

Reserve by WhatsApp in summer and separate restaurant seating from neighbouring sunbed bookings. Large parties can arrange a fixed menu, but confirm the number of courses and price in writing; July 2026 groups praise the kitchen's handling of thirteen diners after another venue cancelled.

What visitors say

The restaurant's current site confirms WhatsApp reservations and Faros address; July 2026 Tripadvisor feedback supports the seafood and large-group prix-fixe service while noting costly beach facilities nearby.

Restaurant

Cantina

Cantina occupies old fishermen's huts at Seralia, below Kastro, with stone walls, open water and no passing street to soften the isolation. Giorgos Samoilis builds the meal from Sifnian meat, vegetables and seafood, drawing diners prepared to make dinner the night's main event.

Restaurant

Lamarina

Lamarina serves oven food beside its sibling Pelicanos in Faros, named for the metal trays Sifnian families once carried to the village bakery. Giorgos Samoilis keeps the room casual and the portions substantial, with rice-stuffed tomatoes, peppers, pastitsio and other dishes cooked in residual oven heat.

Restaurant

Maiolica

Maiolica sets low tables beside Platis Gialos beach and rewrites its Greek-inspired sharing menu as produce and catch change. Couples split sea-bass carpaccio, cuttlefish, octopus with hummus and quinoa-crusted bream rather than ordering one fixed main each.
