Our Restaurant

Our restaurant is located in front of the sea in the picturesque port village of Mandraki and serves a great variety of seafood, meat, and vegetarian dishes accompanied by an exceptional wine list.

While enjoying a stunning sunset and the view of a beautiful Nisyrian windmill, you can taste delicious local specialties such as tender slow-cooked pork, fresh grilled tuna, goat spaghetti, sea bass filet with an exquisite vegetable purée, fresh seafood, Nisyrian chickpea fritters, and scrumptious braised beef with aubergine béchamel.
You can discover more flavors including appetizers, salads, a refined choice of Nisyrian and other cheeses, gluten-free dishes; and a variety of drinks in our menu.

You can start your meal with an aperitif and complete your lunch or dinner with traditional and contemporary desserts such as tiramisu, millefeuille, and Greek custard pie. Needless to say, all dishes and desserts are homemade.

And please do not forget that Issikas means pleasure in the local dialect!

  • “Definitely the best food on the island from what we managed to try! The girls were very kind, the place was great and the food was amazing! We ate shrimp and squid which were delicious, the village fresh with finally summer tomatoes, but the goat we ate was a dream! Don’t miss it, it would be a shame!”

  • “We had lunch here and absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, the service was very friendly, and the location right by the water is simply beautiful. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal while overlooking the sea. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Nisyros. Thank you for the wonderful experience!”
