Katrin - A Classic Mykonos Restaurant

Last night, we dined at Katrin, one of the nicest and most established restaurants in Hora/Mykonos. We had a true Greek dining experience, as we sat at a little candelit table right on the sidewalk in the winding, narrow alley way and got to do all sorts of people watching. While the food at Katrin is a little more expensive than some of the restaurants in Greece (we paid $50 for wine, as opposed to the $20-$30 that we've been spending other nights), the food is definitely unique and excellent. The appetizers, in particular, were delicious. We shared an artichoke heart stuffed with mushrooms, spinach, crab, and melted cheese, as well as an avocado filled with seafood and topped with cheese. Both were as delicious as they were described on the menu. The sliced cherry duck breast with camelized apples was a very good entree choice, and the lamb chops were tender and fresh. It's hard to go wrong with lamb in Greece! We took a break from white wine (which is by far the dominant type of wine in Greece) and had a nice bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that was recommended by the waiter. We skipped dessert in favor of one of the many more affordable ice cream shops in town. If you're spending time in Mykonos, put Katrin at the top of your restaurant list!
