Restaurants in Paros
A favorite standby on the harbor, below the kastro and especially nice at sunset time, To Spitiko (tel. 22840/24-956) promises to serve "tasty answers to hungry questions" -- just what you'd expect from a place whose name means home cooking; 20€ would let you eat lots here.
In addition to the places listed, I want to mention several that were not yet open when I visited Parikia in the late spring of 2011. They are all places for which I have either good memories or good reports. On Market Street, as it bends toward the Ekatondapiliani Cathedral at the Dodona cafe, you'll find Daphne (tel. 22840/22-575); Tamarisko (tel. 22840/24-689) is just off Market Street. Both have nice gardens and excellent food. Daphne has elegant Mediterranean cuisine, while Tamarisko has a lighter touch (more salads and rice dishes). On the continuation of Market Street into town (as opposed to where it bends toward the Ekatondapiliani), Franca Scala (tel. 22840/24-407) has a great rooftop terrace, possibly the best place in town for people watching. If I were sitting there with a glass of white wine, I might toy with an order of smoked salmon rolls with eggplant mousse. Dinner at Daphne, Tamarisko, or Franco Scala could run as little as 20€ or easily twice that, depending on your choices.
Naoussa
Naoussa's restaurants are either harborside, or tucked away in town. Your best way to find the in-town restaurants is to ask. Streets are winding and street signs are virtually nonexistent. Don't worry: You'll get lost, but you'll find what you're looking for, often with the help of gaggles of giggling school children.

Barbarossa
Sitting in an ouzeri on the waterfront is beloved part of the Naoussa experience, and this is one of the oldest and best. You can linger for hours over meze, the gracious staff won't rush you. But if you want more, try the deftly prepared fish.$$On the waterfront - Greek
Meltemi Cafe
From morning until well into the evening, this bustling, super-friendly cafe is the place to be in Parikia. The food is honest, locally sourced and usually delicious; and the sunset views can't be beat.

Nonna Crema
Take that Italia! The gelato here is as creamy, rich and flavorful as any you'll find on "the Boot". And you can trust that assesment, as we've tried every flavor (the owners are VERY generous with their free samples). The ice cream is crafted from local milk and flavorings and is…$Naoussa - Gourmet Greek
Siparos
Schedule your meal for sunset, so you can be sipping a glass of fine Greek wine, and nibbling on grilled calamari, as you watch the sun slide below the horizon from this handsome, beachfront restaurant. The food, which is mostly Greek, though does include a few pan-Mediterranean…$$$Naoussa
