6 MORE RESTAURANTS ON SANTORINI FROM MY HOT LIST OF 13 PLACES WORTH EATING AT NOW - WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO EAT WITH WOW VIEWS
PART 2 of 2
Following up on my previous post, here are a few more restaurants to complete your list. 4 are in Oia, 1 in Fira, and 1 in Megalochori. Although I have eaten in most restaurants on the list of 13 I have put together for you, this list contains 3 I haven’t personally tried, but all have great reputation, reviews, and have been in business for many years.
Some of these restaurants are more casual, others like Selene a more fine dining option, but all serve fabulous food, and it simply depends what you’re in the mood for, what kind of diner you are, and what your budget is.
As in the previous post, due to limited space, each restaurant has its own separate caption under the first corresponding photo, so you’ll see 7 separate captions as you slide through the carousel, including this one.
Enjoy, and I hope these 2 posts give you some nice ideas for different meals on the island. If you do end up going to any of those, let me know what you thought. And if you’ve already been, I’d love to hear your opinion. 😊
For the rest of the list, please see the previous post.
Roka ROKA OIA - the cutest little place that doesn’t have a view,as it sits on the other side of Oia on a side street, but makes up for it by its charming courtyards with very Greek atmosphere. The food is lovely, authentic and very interesting. The service is fun and engaging, with a great sense of humor. Gruyère cheese from Naxos in crispy nut crust with peach gel, slow-roasted Florina pepper with feta cheese mousse, homemade pepper jam, and pistachios, Kerkini buffalo soutzoukakia (spiced meatballs with fresh tomato sauce and potato foam. (Not to be mistaken for Roka in Imerovigli!)
ROKA
Oia Gefsis Oia Gefsis - an award-winning restaurant with panoramic sunset views from its west-facing terrace, although located on the other side of the village, so no caldera views per se (prime sunset spots require advanced booking). Housed in a restored 19th-century captain’s house, it offers a very creative take on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. Huge menu and interesting drinks like Volcanic Spiced Margarita with caper, balsamic fig and Santorinian chili, or Blue Dome with ouzo, sun-dried curaçao, thyme, rosemary, lime and citrus powder. Appetizers include oysters marinated in Greek salad broth with cucumber/tomato tartare and pickled onion, wood-fired beets & beet greens with Souroto cheese from Paros, smoked eel, orange, and beet vinegar. Main courses are no less creative with dishes like traditional meat pie of Naxos milk-fed lamb and goat, beef, hand-rolled rustic phyllo, cream of Naxos graviera and fresh truffle. Desserts don’t stay far behind in creativity in creations like beetroot, chocolate and yogurt with osmosed wild cherries, milk chocolate ganache, chocolate soil cubes, beetroot caramel, and sheep yogurt ice cream.
Alisachni - this somewhat whimsical gallery/restaurant/bar lounge in Megalochori serves absolutely delicious Greek and Mediterranean food, and is a perfect place for lunch if you’re touring the village. From artistic cocktails and extensive w**e cellar of 500 local labels, and modern Greek dishes served in an art gallery setting spread over many courtyards and levels including a lovely rooftop, the place is a real gem to dine in. Intimate, peaceful, and away from it all. Try dishes like Santorinian bostani salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, local capers, feta, and dakos, or lamb “kleftiko” with local pasta, vegetables and skotiri cheese (superb!).
Eos - this intimate fine dining restaurant at the Aspaki Exclusive Hotel by is located near the castle and away from the crowds, and offers 360-degree panoramic caldera, village, and sunsets views. Mediterranean-Greek cuisine with a creative contemporary twist shines in dishes like Greek red prawns with strawberries in different textures, red rose, fresh cheese, and crispy sando, or “mousaka” beef tartare with crunchy confit potatoes, crispy eggplant, egg yolk, and foamy bechamel. Main courses are no less creative. Sea bass with leek purée, baked celery and caviar sauce, or cod “fasolada” with traditional bean sauce, bottarga, mussels, smoked trout, red pepper purée, fresh pickles, and celery oil will bring another dimension to your meal. I haven’t eaten there, but the restaurant has a great reputation and reviews. And did I mention the views?! 😮💙
Ammoudi Fish Tavern - this iconic place on the beach, at the bottom of the rocky cliffs about 300 steps from Oia (below the castle), is a must if you love seafood. The multi-level building sits in a picturesque little bay, built right into the red volcanic rock. Dozens of seafood options of all kinds, including seafood moussaka, as well as just straightforward fresh catch served 7 different ways. Unfortunately, I never made it there due to lack of time, but the restaurant has been operating since the early 80s and has a great reputation, although can sometimes feel touristy due to its popularity.
Selene at - escape to Fira to this unique cultural landmark inside a restored 18th-century monastery (now Katikies Garden Hotel) to dine on chef Ettore Botrini’s Michelin-level creations where modern culinary techniques blend with island flavors and traditions. Known for its w**e cellar, with a w**e list curated by Master of W**e Yiannis Karakasis, it is definitely a place for foodies who appreciate exceptional w**es from its famous Antique Caves, exporting w**es even to the Vatican. High-end fine dining with multi-course tasting menus of extraordinarily creative dishes playing off traditional local ingredients, with prices to match. Romantic courtyard setting by the fountain. I didn’t have a chance to eat there, but having tried the chef’s other restaurant at my hotel in Oia, I’m sure it’s outstanding and worth a trip.
