April 30, 2026 (Mykonos, Greece) – For the 2026 season, Belvedere Hotel Mykonos unveils a fully curated gastronomic programme that reinforces its position as one of the island’s most distinctive culinary destinations. Alongside Cocco and Matsuhisa Mykonos, the season features re-imagined dining experiences, a pop-up with Athens-based restaurant IODIO and a new culinary concept at Belvedere Hilltop Rooms & Suites, each reflecting the hotel’s signature approach to hospitality rooted in creativity, place and connection.
A cornerstone of the Belvedere’s culinary programme, Matsuhisa Mykonos returns from May 22 through early September. As one of the earliest European outposts of Nobu Matsuhisa’s acclaimed brand, the open-air restaurant continues to define the hotel’s culinary identity. Matsuhisa Mykonos blends Japanese precision with Peruvian influence through its signature “New Style Japanese cuisine,” while offering sweeping views over Mykonos Town and the Aegean Sea.
Building on the celebrated legacy of Matsuhisa Mykonos, Belvedere will host the Nobu Festival 2026 from June 12 —15. The festival welcomes world-renowned Chef Nobu Matsuhisa to Mykonos for a series of exclusive culinary experiences and immersive events, offering guests a rare opportunity for direct engagement with the chef and his team.
Following the success of its debut, IODIO returns for an extended residency from July 10 — August 23, 2026, taking over the hotel’s poolside dining area. Led by two-Michelin-starred chef Georgianna Hiliadaki, the Athens-based concept brings one of the capital’s most acclaimed seafood restaurants to Mykonos. The menu celebrates the purity of the sea through refined raw dishes, marinated fish, and contemporary Mediterranean interpretations, delivered in an intimate, sunset-facing setting adjacent to Matsuhisa.
Complementing these offerings, the Belvedere Pool Club introduces a refreshed all-day dining concept for the season, featuring an updated menu alongside a curated cocktail selection and an expanded wine list of local and international producers. This year also marks a new direction for breakfast, curated by the Athens-based team Hydra Edition, reimagining the morning experience through a contemporary lens rooted in Greek tradition. The menu focuses on simple, seasonal ingredients presented in a natural yet elevated way that reflects the understated elegance and sense of place at the heart of Belvedere.
Extending the hotel’s F&B experience further, Belvedere Hilltop Rooms & Suites, located just a few minutes from the main property, introduces a more relaxed, island-inspired dining dimension. Rooted in Greek and Cycladic culinary traditions, the concept evolves throughout the day—from breakfast to lunch and traditional sharing plates—offering a more grounded expression of Mykonian flavours in a setting that evokes the feeling of a private island home.
Just a short stroll away in Little Venice, Cocco Mykonos returns with a refreshed Mediterranean-inspired menu. Designed as an intimate waterfront bistro, it highlights seasonal ingredients and draws inspiration from traditional recipes, offering a relaxed yet refined dining experience that moves in rhythm with the island. Cocco has become a favourite among locals as well as visitors, known for its grounded, island-led approach to dining by the sea.
With its selection of internationally celebrated chefs and distinctive dining concepts, Belvedere Hotel Mykonos reaffirms its commitment to creating memorable culinary experiences that define the island’s vibrant gastronomic scene.
