Honest, traditional, unpretentious salt of the earth Greek food. Having been to Mykonos and many other Greek Islands Ive had a good taste for the real Greek and this really hits the spot. Great service, great prices, great atmosphere! Highly recommended!

Lovely setting in Sea Point, live up to the Greek expectations, on Saturday nights you can have a blast of a Greek experience. The food is delicious, the platters are a must if youre in large groups. The gyro is made perfectly, which pairs well with some fresh hummus and home made chilli sauce. They have many options and all the food looks like its well worth the money. You cant go wrong with good Greek food, waiters are friendly and I had a great time.

A Gem found in the heart of Sea Point. It was the perfect Greek experience, the laid back atmosphere makes way to easy conversations at the table. The food was authentic and prepared to perfection. I opted for the Grilled Kingklip and salad. The decor inside and out is amazing and extremely welcoming. It has become one of my favourites

I tried the lamb youvetsi and it was just OK. It confirmed my suspicions that Marias at Dunkley Square makes the best youvetsi in Cape Town.

If youre looking for a seafood fine dining experience, take a short left to Mykonos. I could taste the ocean. I started off with some oysters to cleanse my palate before delving into their seafood curry as a main. It was divine. Expect equally good service. Ive reserved the 5th star because although the dish was delicious, the competition is quite stiff in Cape Town and the experience and food fell a star short of exceptional

We ate there last night and got huge value for money! Food is generous and hearty and authentically Greek! Service was attentive. We loved it. Its not a fancy restaurant, but well worth it for Greek cuisine.

Food is ok not crazy but ok. I understand that we are not in Greece though so cannot be too severe.The issue is more the service time which is quite slow.Took some wine as well which is good.To be noted that the personnel is very kind which is much appreciated.

Mykonos Taverna might look like nothing special from the outside but dont let the looks fool it, its an amazing restaurant that provides great speedy service, awesome food, variety and good portions.Also they have a special on the last Saturday of the month where you get authentic Greek food, Greek dancers and you can break some plates.Great place for supper, family events and etc.Loses one star because it feels that you are sometimes forgotten about after you order drinks and food.

Such a great spot in the Mother City giving one a taste of Greece. They open at 5:30pm so be sure to book a table as it gets crazy busy. Food is really delicious and staff are friendly. Prices are reasonable with an average of R80 for a main.

Review №28

Like a slice of Greece on Sea Point main road. A deep, cool rattan covered terrace covers the length of the restaurant. Casual and relaxed vibe, but a cut above the beach side restaurants and bars which are the normal Atlantic seaboard establishments.Great menu with Greek style meze platters and wonderful fresh salads and seafood. The sardines are to die for, and there are meat and veggies options. Just the best place for a happy meal with friends.

The most memorable experience of our lives. Great food and the fibe was awesome with greek dancing

Mi
Review №34

We ordered the classic greek yiro - It could have been better served. The tzatziki sauce had way too many onions and overpowered the beef filling. The pita was much thicker than the traditional making the folded gyro quite messy. I would suggest the souvlakia as a better choice.

We just got notified that our order was cancelled after calling 6 times speaking to a manager once who said he would send it off right away. The last few calls the phone was picked up and hung up.We placed our order at 19:30 and its now 21:30, had to make a plan to feed the kids.Turned my favourite Greek spot into a future NO GO.

Review №39

Although I enjoyed the Kingklip, the lamb dishes my companions had all looked delicious. Lamb chops, pulled lamb on pasta rice or lamb shank- all delicious. The cooked veggies of butternut and creamed spinach detracted from the main meal

Loved their food. To be honest, the CBC Amber Weiss made the food even more tasty. We ordered a meat platter for four and... the portioning was phenomenal. The only tad disappointment was the Baklava, it was way too sweet... felt like it missed something. Nevertheless, will go again!!!

Review №68

Initially, the appeal of this restaurant was that it was actually open on a Sunday (which is more than I can say for quite a few other restaurants). However, I learnt pretty quickly that the food is its bread winner! It was delicious and was served in good time and without error. As a vegetarian at the time, I was limited to two main meals, one of which was just a plain Greek salad, which isnt great and possibly my only gripe with the restaurant - but what I got was still really yummy. AND its in Sea Point, which is one of my favourite areas in Cape Town.

Mykonos Taverna has a great vibe, the food is tasty and it is on your doorstep when you stay in Sea Point Cape Town.The staff is a friendly bunch and service is good. You will have an enjoyable time here if you decide to have an informal dinner.Do ask them about the Greek evening where they still do the traditional plate breaking.Therefore put the place on you list of eateries when you visit Cape Town, you may be pleasantly surprised.

If youre visiting for the first time, Id recommend getting the platter - youll get to sample the best that this restaurant has to offer. The flavours were well balanced and everything was delicious! We were particularly impressed by the hummus - this was probably the best hummus Ive had in a long time. Ill definitely come back for more. Service was great too.

Can’t fault the place!It’s rare that I’ll give 5 stars to a restaurant but everything about this place was excellent. The ambience, the service were both spot on, whilst the food was delicious. My partner had the chicken souvlaki meal with Greek salad, chips and pitta, whilst I had the same with lamb. The salad was full of flavour and sumptuous whilst the lamb was nice and tender - pink how it should be. Melted in your mouth. The homemade Tzatsiki was the best I’d had. A great choice

Great Greek food with a perfect setting right on sea point main road. Be sure to request a table on the front veranda area as this gives you a nice view of the street.Staff are always friendly and attentive.Reasonable prices and good portion size.The house chilli sauce is amazing and we have often bought for home

A really good Sea Point stalwart. Mykonos Taverna has very good food and in typical Mediterranean style, you can easily need to be rolled out of the place after eating yourself into a stupor. The setting is great but can possibly risk the feel of being a chain restaurant.

Excellent Greek food with good table service. Reservations may be necessary, especially on busy nights, as many larger groups and families come here to have dinner. So check availability in advance if in doubt. The portions are generous, desserts were large and the offerings were good. Recommended.

Mykonos is a very good, Greek restaurant. Service can vary, but, generally, the food is very satisfying!!! Selection is great/relatively wide. Desserts are more limited, but few people make it to dessert. (Too full by then.) Tourists often visit and revisit the restaurant.
