Being in high class Mykonos, my first move was to try the highest regarded restaurant going, and I found that in Phoebus, which was only steps from where I’m staying in the Old Town. After getting some 6 euro water and the recommended Greek Wine, I ordered a charcoal-smoked eggplant cream with hazelnut and chilli-flakes, homemade sourdough bread and a dry-aged fish carpaccio served in three stages. The cream was surprisingly solid, and the bread thick, which was good since the fish were literally 6 tiny slices of meat. But, I tried each with the recommended olive oils: a bitter from Crete and spicy from Sparta, dripped through eye-droppers. I respected the process, and the fish was really good, each a completely different texture and flavor. The final spicy version was the best, yet I actually preferred the Cretan bitter olive oil to the spicy Sparta. All in all, I enjoyed the meal and was shocked I was not hungry til the afternoon the next day. It still only cost me less than 60 US dollars. I explored the town and discovered far cheaper options with still good quality, and had Napoli pizza, salad, a huge crepe filled with Nutella, mascarpone and oreos, green bean stew, a sea bass fillet and vegan ice cream, among others. Not a bad fill-up for a few days in expensive Mykonos. #foodie #foodlover #foodblogger #food
