Pelican Restaurant

The Pelican Restaurant is located in Gumenio Square in Mykonos, away from the waterfront.  Tables are outdoors beneath an awning and there are plants and foliage to add interest.  Named for Mykonos' pelican mascot, this restaurant takes the bird theme to a higher level by placing several bird cages above the tables.  I initially thought the birdsong had to be fake--it sounded just like something produced by a plastic whistle--but investigation revealed the birds to be quite real.

Food is standard Aegean cuisine including seafood, stuffed tomatoes, moussaka, and other Greek favorites.  There are English menus available.

My group of 10 had an excellent experience here.  My one regret is I wish we had not asked to be billed individually (certainly a depressing American custom), because the smile fled from our server's face and I had the feeling this added a great deal of stress for him.  If I have the opportunity to return I'll make sure we don't make that mistake again!
