Guidebook for Naxos
Food Scene
Admittedly, it's relatively far from Naxos (about 15km, 20 min by car), but Axiotissa has maybe the best food on the island (together with Lefteris' taverna). Axiotissa's specials are inspired from Asia Minor and, when they have fresh fish, it's excellent. Just make sure to reserve a table well in advance (a couple of days even) because it's always full in the high season.

This restaurant is in the mountain village of Apeiranthos (which is a must see by itself). It's a bit far from Naxos (about 40 min by car) but it has possibly the best food on the island (try Lefteris' burger and "Sefklodolmades", they are excellent) and the mountain view it offers is breathtaking.
(Lefteris' specialty is local meat products but his cheese pie and the "abelofasoula" are great dishes for vegetarians)
