About
In the narrow, labyrinthine stone pathways of Skiathos Old Town on Grigoriou E' Street, 1901 Restaurant is a captivating culinary destination full of historical charm. Housed in a beautifully restored, 100-year-old stone building that originally operated as a local grocery shop—and was famously frequented by the legendary Greek novelist Alexandros Papadiamantis—the establishment effortlessly pairs a rich sense of history with an upscale, romantic atmosphere. Diners are invited to sit in the gorgeous, green garden courtyard where tables sit under lush trees draped in twinkling fairy lights, creating a relaxed, intimate setting accompanied by smooth jazz and easy-listening music. Highly praised for its warm hospitality and top-notch service, it stands out as an idyllic spot for a romantic date night or a leisurely evening with friends away from the main harbor crowds.
The kitchen, expertly guided by Chef Petros Pikoulas, delivers an innovative and sophisticated approach to Mediterranean cuisine by elevating traditional Greek flavors with creative touches. The diverse menu prioritizes exceptionally fresh local products, turning seafood, meat, and seasonal vegetables into meticulously plated dishes with beautifully balanced sauces. Guests can indulge in unique, highly recommended specialties such as fish fillets with crayfish sauce, lamb chops with homemade pesto, tender beef steak accompanied by stuffed artichokes, and an acclaimed seafood risotto. Accompanying the culinary journey is an impressive wine list featuring labels from the restaurant’s own vineyard. Offering remarkably generous portions and reasonable pricing for its high culinary standard, 1901 creates a memorable, immersive dining experience that perfectly encapsulates the authentic, upscale spirit of the Sporades islands.
