I highly encourage anyone visiting Nimborio for the day from Symi town to make the short walk up from the beaches to Niriides! We were staying nearby and ended up eating here most days - the atmosphere is lovely with the seating area set among a tropical garden with great views out over the water. The staff here are all so warm and friendly and it's immediately obvious that they make a real effort to connect with everyone who comes through, hotel guest or otherwise. Adonis the barman makes proper cocktails with love going into each one, and the same is true of the real star of the show, Christina's excellent food! Everything is fresh, full of flavour, and shows real care and generosity, easily surpassing the offerings in even the more fancy restaurants on the rest of the island. Particular highlights for me were the zucchini balls (a Greek staple we tried practically everywhere we ate over our 2 week holiday, Christina's being by far the best, really making the most of the fresh herbs and bursting with flavour but light and perfectly cooked), the steak (a gorgeous thick ribeye the size of a human head for a very reasonable 18 euro, cooked over fire with a beautiful salsa verde of local herbs) and the moussaka (another very generous portion, really elevated by the flame-grilling of the vegetable ingredients), but everything on the menu was really worth getting!
