About

O Simos Taverna is a beloved, family-run Greek restaurant ideally positioned right by the water along the main street of Kamares port. Boasting an inviting outdoor seating area that faces the beach, this classic taverna offers stunning, unobstructed views of the sea, making it a perfect spot to relax immediately after stepping off the ferry.

The restaurant is deeply celebrated for maintaining its own private farm, which directly supplies the kitchen with exceptionally fresh, hyper-local ingredients including seasonal vegetables, olive oil, local cheeses, and meat. The menu masterfully honors authentic Sifnian and Cycladic traditions with an extensive choice of slow-cooked casseroles and grilled dishes. Visitors can enjoy local specialties such as the iconic revithada (chickpea soup) and mastelo (lamb or goat slow-baked in a traditional clay pot), alongside fresh seafood, moussaka, and crisp salads topped with local mizithra cheese. O Simos Taverna and its generous portions, warm, lively family atmosphere, cementis it as an unmissable culinary landmark on Sifnos.

Perfection! Try the Greek salad but with local cheese. Imam was the highlights. I don't really like auberginea but that combination is heavenly. Moussaka was great and huge too. Fair prices, absolutely wonderful view and welcoming staff!

The best of Kamaras in summer 2026 with traditional cooked food. We ordered Revithada (chickpeas soup) and some starters they were really good. Very friendly staff and quick service. Highly recommend! By the seaside.

Our absolute favourite restaurant in all of Greece, stayed in sifnos for 5 days and came here every single night because nothing compared!! The food was just so fresh and tasty and every new dish we tried was just as good as the last. The servers were so kind and attentive and the vibe of the restaurant right over the water felt just magical. Quite affordable for the quality of the food as well. We’d specifically recommend the mousaka, the sardines, fried cheese and fried squid. We cannot recommend this beautiful place enough, everyone should dine here during their time in sifnos!

We got.off the ferry and were hungry. We came across O Simos and they had beautiful outdoor seating on the water. The food was very good. The service was excellent! The food came out hot and the presentation was good. The chickpea soup was very good, even though it wasn't Sunday. A great spot to have lunch or dinner. I would recommend.

Amazing food and place. Greek local dishes are the best here, I recommend the goat and the bean soap but everything is just delicious. Price is very good and the view of the bay and beach is stunning. Also, very friendly and charming people working there. It has been a tradition in the family and you can really tell. I will come back for sure!

Fantastic little Taverna for when you get off the ferry. We had the traditional Sifnos chickpea soup and the grilled squid, both delicious. Servers were great and view felt too good to be not in a luxury resto!!
