A beloved Tenby Greek spot with generous meze, strong family-run hospitality, and lots of repeat fans, but pricing and authenticity debates mean it’s not for every palate or budget.
Mykonos delivers exceptional food quality anchored by hearty, flavorful Mediterranean cooking, particularly in meze and lamb dishes, paired with outstanding service attentiveness that makes groups feel genuinely welcomed. Solid consistency and a charming, destination-like setting round out the experience, though modest gaps in design refinement and occasional food safety concerns prevent grade A territory.
Mykonos feels like the sort of place people stumble into once and then start planning their Tenby trips around. The setting has proper old-town charm — “tucked away in the castle wall” is about right — and the dining room comes across as warm, lively, and family-run rather than slick or precious. When it’s firing, diners rave about attentive staff, fast service, and a meal that leaves them happily overfed. The cooking is built around generous Greek and Mediterranean comfort: meze spreads, lamb, halloumi, moussaka, kleftiko, souvlaki, and plenty of crowd-pleasing starters. It’s more hearty and traditional than experimental, with a menu that clearly aims for broad appeal as well as a few more distinctly Greek touches. The strongest praise goes to the meze and the lamb dishes, while the sharpest criticism targets price, occasional dryness or saltiness, and a few authenticity grumbles from purists. For families, this is better than the average “special occasion” place: the menu has real kids’ options like chicken nuggets, burgers, chicken souvlakia, and chicken burger, all served with rice and chips. That means picky eaters are covered even if the main menu leans more adventurous. Just note that the prices and meze portions can be a lot for a casual family stop, so this works best if the kids are happy with familiar food and you’re prepared for a slightly pricier meal out.
