Dating back to 1983, Kabouris, a family business, continues to pay tribute to Greek cuisine, offering gastronomically thrilling dishes. Being the masters of hospitality, the owners focus on high-quality products and unrivaled taste, expressing their passion for the Greek culinary tradition through a traditional mama’s menu, with some Mediterranean touches. Housed in a two-story building just off the central Chora square, the restaurant welcomes us in an inviting environment, serving dishes such as moussaka, oven-baked lamb, and delicious mezes, all prepared with the most wholesome ingredients. We can pair our picks with exquisite local cheeses and white wine produced by the owners, completing our meal with some of their handmade sweets or homemade liqueurs. For a unique experience, head to the roof garden, where you can enjoy your dinner with a magnificent view of Ios Chora.

Enjoy every day the view of the sunset from the most privileged spot on the island. The beach bar restaurant Koumpara has been named after the homonymous beach and is just a few kilometers away from Chora.

Fresh fish comes directly from their boat, pasta with lobsters or shrimps, the famous kakavia, snacks for ouzo ideal when getting out with friends, and traditional dishes of Ios such as "tsimetia" and tomato balls march at its maritime menu. A while before the sun has its usual "dive", the inspired cocktails and chill-out music come next matching perfectly with the atmospheric setting.
