Long one of the favored eateries of downtown Athens, Kuzina makes a summer pilgrimage to Mykonos for a starry eatery that's competing even with long-time favored hotspots like Kiki's and Nammos. A sexy waterfront space mixes a beach club vibe with stylish arrangements of cushioned sofas, wooden deck chairs and sexy staff outfitted in traditional Cycladic garb. More for showy lunches and quieter sunset dinner, the space oozes an Aegean glamour with an updated urban style that finds a perfect home along Ornos Beach.

Meat-lovers also find grilled pork chops, classic fillet and burgers topped with cheese and bacon that are all-day favorites.
