Didn't eat there, just sat for an evening coffee, the live music really made the atmosphere 10/10. (Or actually would have made it if the neighbour shitty mexican bar wouldn't blast the music full power, i felt really bad for the visible annoyed musicians)

Absolutely loved our lunch at Kafepotopoleio Pinoklis today! From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive—nothing was too much trouble. We shared a delicious selection of dishes: the beetroot salad was fresh and full of flavour, the chicken wings were perfectly cooked, and the feta saganaki was a definite highlight—crispy, golden and indulgent. The setting is just as impressive, with a stunning view that made the whole experience feel extra special. And a quick shoutout to the facilities—spotlessly clean, which always deserves a mention. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

This is the spot for traditional Greek music, 2 nights a week. The beer and ouzo are fairly inexpensive. As for food, it can be a little inconsistent the most solid item on the menu is the giant beans, they are delicious. The fried feta with honey and sesame seeds is very very good, fried cheese balls are great. Zucchini balls when done well are the best on Paros, but they have come undercooked a couple times. The locals get up and dance The atmosphere on music nights is stunning. Even if I get undercooked zucchini balls I have a table reserved next to the band.

We had a nice bottle of red wine, mini kebabs, stuffed mushrooms, and baked feta. It was all very tasty. Wonderful sunset views. Friendly service.

Excellent service, good vibes, Saganaki is a must try! We had live authentic Greek music playing. Beer was cold, sweet wine was like a Muscat wine in Australia! Delicious! Stunning sunset view! Very reasonably priced also.

We came here multiple times during our trip to Paros. This place was regularly packed, even during low season, and for good reason. Service is friendly and prompt (although sometimes busy!). Food is excellent, with very generous portions. I would definitely recommend Pinoklis and would certainly come back if we are in Paros again.

Really nice traditional Greek food!! One of the best I had so far for a good price. Try the 12. Stuffed Vine Leaves and 33 Mixed meat platter to share ☺️

Wonderful restaurant with live music two nights a week; one of the few restaurants on the Paros sea front that gives that genuine feeling of a traditional Greek taverna! They offer food, smaller meze dishes and a lot of drink options (I recommend the rakomelo and souma)! Highly recommended!

The staff at Pinoklis were incredibly friendly and made us feel so comfortable during our visit. Despite the heat, they managed to keep the restaurant as cool as possible, which we really appreciated. They even gave us frozen glasses for our drinks - such a thoughtful touch! The chef himself was very welcoming and took time to greet us personally. The food was delicious and well-prepared. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the overall dining experience. If we weren't leaving Paros, we would definitely come back. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the island!
