Doukato is one of those places where you need to make a reservation, or you’re going to be waiting in line—trust me. Good thing we made one. We got the souvlaki. Hands down the best I’ve ever had—and I’m an incredibly picky eater. The portion was huge, easily enough for two, and the flavor was perfection. Don’t skip the baklava either. The sweetness was perfectly balanced by the ice cream, making it the ideal way to end your meal. The restaurant itself had a welcoming vibe, perfect for a relaxed, lingering meal. If you’re in Naxos, Doukato needs to be at the top of your list—just be sure to book ahead!

Tried Doukato Restaurant for a weekday dinner. No wait, we were seated in the back area. Service was excellent. The Doukato souvlakis (chicken, pork and swordfish) seem to be their specialty. Wish they offered an option to try all three. - Semi-sweet white (8,00€ for 0.5L) - Doukato swordfish “souvlaki” (30,00€) - perfect to share. Six chunks of swordfish with Naxian fried potatoes and salad. Swordfish was tender, perfectly cooked - Lemon cream with crumbled lemon biscuits - on the house. Fantastic. One of the best desserts we had during our Greece trip

The food was very good. If you like cheese, don’t miss getting the “melted cheese appetizer” (I don’t know the proper name, but if you say it like this, they will understand). The chicken with mushrooms was good good, but the shrimps lacked flavor. I really wished they had an online reservation system as the wait can be a bit long.

As you can tell by the photos, the food was amazingly superb, and I say this as a Greek, used to having access to great food all around. I also want to praise the waiters and the service in general. They were quick, helpful and very kind! Doukato is housed in an old alley where the Duchy of Naxos was installed in the 1200s, something that adds an essence of historical awe.

This is my first time leaving a review for any restaurant because it really was THAT good. I like to try different restaurants but we went back to Doukato multiple times. Food, service, atmosphere, everything was phenomenal. A must eat when you’re in Naxos! The seafood is just amazing (octopus orzo and sun-dried mackerel) and my partner loved the lamb. They give you complimentary dessert as well! We’ll definitely be back here when we’re in Naxos.

What a place! We ate here tonight and cannot fault a single thing about this place. Appetisers, impressive. Main meals, amazing. Drinks and wine, beautiful. The setting is spectacular and only a short stroll from Naxos Port. This is a place that you need to experience. They take walk ins but when we came they were busy so we booked for another night and it was well worth it. By far the best thing about this place is the staff. They were all very friendly and service oriented. Very professional and happy to help with our orders and choices. They had time to talk and find out where we were from and our story. They were genuinely interested and went out of their way to make our night. 11 out of 10!

My partner and I, both foodies, have been lucky enough to travel all over the world due to her work as cabin crew, and this restaurant may be our favourite. It's certainly up there, and we visited two nights in a row. Everything about it was perfect, from the atmosphere sat next to the open fire, to the service and food. The waiter recommended we try their Saganaki to start, which we hadn't heard of before, but was delicious. Similar to a dish of melted mozzarella with some crispy pastry on top. For mains we had chicken souvlaki the first night, and swordfish souvlaki the second. Both were exceptional, marinated and grilled on a skewer above a tray of perfectly seasoned potatoes and vegetables. On the side we had warm pitta with their fantastic tzatziki, which had a nice warming amount of black pepper. For dessert they gave us each a complimentary chocolate pudding, also very nice. As we left, their chef was outside and he thanked us for trying his food. Can't recommend this place enough.

We came here in winter time and it was perfect. The inside was very cozy with a fireplace. Service was friendly and food was very delicious. We had lamb chops and the stuffed beef patty. The Rice was delicious and we also liked the house wine. Prices were fair in regards to the quality of food! We would definitely recommend to also go in Winzer because it was such a cozy atmosphere 😊

We have not been here for a few years, but my wife had been craving Swordfish, so as they are one of the few places to have Swordfish at the moment we gave it a go. WOW, it did not disappoint. The food was excellent, the wine was also excellent and the staff were really friendly. All in all a great lunch. P.S the Swordfish souvlaki was amazing!!

The food here was so divine. We visited for my 30th birthday and had a lovely evening. I left feeling WAY too full because the food was SO good. Four of us had the kalogeros and really enjoyed it. The vegetarians in the group loved the ravioli. My mistake was splitting a salad (fig and pomegranate) and pita and tzatziki beforehand—both were incredible but too much for me with the main dish too. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, answering our questions about the menu and providing plenty of recommendations. And then for my birthday the staff kindly brought out some kind of lemon dessert and an incredible chocolate cake for my birthday. In terms of atmosphere, there’s a really charming courtyard that I’m sure would be lovely in warmer weather. It was a bit cold when we visited, so we sat inside and it felt very cozy and homey. I absolutely loved this restaurant and will go back one day. Thank you! 🫶
