THALASSAMOU - Πίσω Αλυκή

Beautiful restaurant on the beach with exceptionally good food. This restaurant is really a hidden gem. We only found it thanks to google reviews and want to do it justice with another fabulous review. The restaurant is close to the airport, 15 min away, im a quiet little village. It sits right on the beach with tables / chairs on the actual beach and on the sprawling patio facing the beachfront. We started lunch with a lovely bottle of local rose - dry with floral overtones and a hint of citrus. For appetizers we had a sort of salad that involved a birds nest fillo dough with peeled cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and grapes - very original. Also the smoked eggplant salad - again original in its smokiness with a hint of paprika and chopped tomatoes. The grilled squid was fresh and perfectly cooked - marinated in lemon oil sauce and herbs. The truffle risotto is one of the best I’ve ever had - the texture of the risotto really was perfect, just the right consistency, it was creamy and full of truffles. We finished with a homemade sorbet of nectarines - it was like eating the real fruit but even better, and quite refreshing. Prices were comparable to everywhere else we ate in Paros. 1 nice bottle of wine, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 2 deserts was around 100E (would have been around 70E without the wine). Service was excellent - very attentive staff who spoke great English. We meet the owner who told us that everything was locally sourced - which I 100% believe given the superior quality if the ingredients. We absolutely adores this restaurant. It gas just the right balance of classic and innovative cooking. It is well wort the effort of going our of your way to reach it. Wish we had found it earlier in our trip so we could have visited a 2nd time.

Best restaurant we have eaten so far, great spot in front of the sea ! Very kind staff and amazing original greek food ! Defenitly recommand !

Superbe restaurant at perhaps one of the ugliest beaches of Paros. Very tasty at reasonable prices. Service could be improved. A must if you are around.

We love this place. It is such a perfect spot and the food is wonderful. We have tried 80% of the menu already and it is hands down the best food on both Paros and Antiparos. The couple who own this place clearly love what they do and the food reflects it (e.g., the bread is fresh baked in the wood fired oven, the grilled sardines are amazing, the oyster and carpaccio are so fresh, and the fried foods - the small fish and the calamari - are phenomenal). The setting is beautiful as well... This place is very popular so it’s always booked and busy but fortunately the (very international) staff is friendly (special shout out for Julie - she manages to have such a wonderful attitude no matter how hectic things get). Ana and Thalassamou - thank you for making our holiday perfect!

Mario created one of the best restaurants in Cyclades. Beachfront, amazing flavors and great atmosphere. It's a must if you visit Paros.

Our favorite restaurant on the island! We went twice and had the best greek salad of the 3 Greek islands we visited. Also the best dessert (passion fruit) and best ouzo (triple distilled). Casual beach vibes with upscale service. Highly recommended!

I'd give it 10 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Food is incredible. Honestly. It's really outstanding. Try their special ink squid risotto, which isn't risotto (It's ming blowing) . Every dish was excellent. Truly excellent and the location. .. Sat on the beach under trees eating in the most stunning and tranquil location.

Visited this restaurant twice during my recent stay in Aliki. On both occasions the food was delicious and the wine excellent. Everything is cooked to order using fresh ingredients, so you have to be patient - this is a Mediterranean Restaurant, not a quick turnaround Taverna. Eating here is a full evening experience; it is relaxed and full of ambience. The idyllic location right on the beach makes for a truly memorable evening and the knowledgeable serving staff are delightful.
