Queue first, eat Mykonian later
To Maereio fits a handful of tables into a plain room on Kalogera Street, where the line forms in the alley before the 19:00 opening. Brothers Isidoros and Dimitris cook moussaka, lamb and louza for diners who value Mykonian home food over polished service. The menu leans heavily toward meat.
Reservations are not accepted, so arrive ten minutes before opening or expect to wait with a glass outside. Ask for the daily dishes immediately, skip the restaurant if the group needs fish and keep the order compact; recent reviews praise the value but show that the cooking can vary between visits.
