Apanemi - Naxos

Very friendly owners. The food was really good especially the " cheese spicy salad" which is home made and the best in the island. Nice location next to the sea. In October the only problem was the bees ( the owner try her best to help us). And the toilets are new and very clean.

Apanemi taverna, a real gem on Naxos Except 1 bad review,(from whose it’s interesting to read the all reviews) al the others are roughly on the same way, I mean; nice restaurant, good food, friendly owner etc... On the other hand, the several photos posted by all kind of customers (and not by the owner himself, which is always something to check), can’t lie. We then decided to drive the 40km from Hora (Chora) to Moutsouna to enjoy a probably late lunch over there. We indeed arrived after 3PM: beautiful location ! Tables under the trees and in front of clear water, awesome. Around us, a lot of locals, we then realize it’s Sunday today. The waitress runs from the restaurant to the terrace with two menus in a hand, a paper table clothe on the other one...and a big smile, she is definitely a professional and actually she is the owner. Once more, looking back, there is no secret to success ! We got a full sea food lunch: Marinated raw tuna salad with rocket and tomatoes. Steamed mussels (a huge salad bowl) with herbs, garlic served in a tasty sauce. Grilled marinated chilies. And the same sea food spaghetti look so good on another table. It was fresh, tasty, almost to much even we enjoy a lot the Greek cuisine, unfortunately difficult to find out in Asia, where we live. Until now this is the best restaurant, location, quality of tasty meals and friendship we got for the last 2 weeks in the Cyclades even it’s almost always pretty good everywhere. The bill was also “lighter” than in Chora in front of the pier where smile is just an option, and even often, until you seat, but it’s an other story ! As a former professional in retirement for a year now, I could say: “ Don’t hesitate to do the trip, by car or by bus, it’s worth it. The road is all the way with a stunning view. Turn off the AC and open the windows, the air is filled with perfumes of flowers and mountain herbs. At the end of the road a reward is there, waiting for you ” Thank you Maria and all you staff for this beautiful moment.

The greatest fish tavern in Naxos! Very good prices and amazing service. Bit long from Chrora - 1h and some minutes but you will enjoy the best seafood in Naxos! Try the local tuna fish and enjoy the sea view!

We came here with a local who has lived on the island 35 years and we didn't even bother with a menu, he simply asked the owner what fish was fresh. We got Calamari, Red Mullet and (maybe it was) Seabream along with some Naxos potatoes and two greek salads. Pictures included. One salad had firm goat cheese (Feta) and the other had soft goat cheese (Xynomizithra). All was excellent. If you don't like fresh fish, don't come to this restaurant. All the negative reviews discuss either cheap cuts of meat or slow service. This is a sleepy little town on the coast and this place has their own fishing boat that provides a lot of their own seafood. That is the point. Although I did get a a traditional sausage for my ten year old who does not eat seafood and he enjoyed it and some of my friends drank (somewhat) pricey beer, I hightly recommend this this place if you are willing to just ask for whatever seafood is fresh along with some local (island) made rose. Period.

Came at lunch, staff was SUPER Friendly. We picked out our fish which was grilled to perfection. Laid back, easy to talk to. Highly recommend

The service was too slow, even for Naxos, but it was friendly. The location just perfect, overlooking the beautiful Aegean sea. The food... well the food was very close to amazing. Lovely octopus (sun dried and then grilled, not boiled and grilled which sucks) and the fresh lobster (called in advance to book it) made an awesome lobster pasta. And the prices: surely not cheap, but not too high as well.

Great food and location. We had lobster pasta and it was fantastic. We also tried local cheeses and wine. Service could have been better but good overall experience

Amazing restaurant! Incredibly fresh fish , from their own boat ! The respective Greek reviews are from bourgeois Athenians who eat bad pork souvlaki ! We are Fish importers and this is the freshest fish , (too fresh) we had. Maria has amazing service , the portions are humongous, just the fact you can seat next to a crashing wave , life is too good ! We absolutely loved it . Absolutely recommended
