The best restaurants Santorini

The exceptional setting at the edge of the port and the octopuses drying in the sun will make many salivate. The welcome remains very warm for this institution in the small port of Ammoudi, below Oia. Fresh fish purchased directly from local fishermen on the quay, lobster, Greek salads. A delight to eat with your feet in the water with an exceptional sea view. The place is also famous for its terrace on the first floor and its aperitifs at sunset. Just be careful with the bill if you catch fish by the kilo. Prices are rising fast.

Here is a friendly and unpretentious place for those looking for something other than the caldera. The establishment and its rooftop have just been renovated. It serves fresh products, Greek dishes of course, but also pasta, meat, salads, fish. Many organic products, grown in the owners' garden. It is copious, very correct in terms of prices, and the staff is very friendly. The owner makes his own olive oil in his childhood village. Many black and white photos of Santorini are on display.

Roasted octopus specialities and octopus specialities. Good tomatokeftedes.

This restaurant, opened in 1999, is located below the pedestrian street, right after the square near the main church. Ambrosia means "divine food". It is best to book, because the tiny terrace that overlooks the caldera directly counts only about twenty hedges. Greek fusion kitchen. Pasta, salads, fish, vegetarian dishes prepared with local produce.

Another restaurant at the Nautilus Hotel, and as its name indicates, is specialized in purely Italian cuisine. The service is the same, only inside the changing dishes.

One of the restaurants at the Nautilus hotel. The hotel specialises in local cuisine, especially on the island. The dishes are a pure delight, well served, in an architectural setting blending tradition and modernity. Magnificent view over Caldera. Private parking. Maps accepted: Visa, Master Card and American Express accepted.

Welcome to a pleasant tavern on the waterfront facing the volcano. What a nice surprise to find it after walking down the steps to share tasty plates with a welcoming Greek clientele. They serve very good specialities based on fresh fish. Taste the delicious homemade specialties: fish balls, eggplant puff pastry, tomatokeftedès and octopus. Prices are all the more correct compared to the restaurants that line the caldera in height and whose quality is sometimes questionable.

This establishment serves good fish and cheap fish in a tiny port (hence its name).

10 m from the main square of Thira, on a nice terrace with a great view. We recommend the establishment for the warm professionalism of the staff and the quality of the dishes served. Among the house specialties: chicken with artichokes, spaghetti with lobster or garlic, capers and tomatoes... The menu is varied and offers hearty dishes, mainly Greek and Italian, at reasonable prices. By jabbering a little in French and automatically offering a drink, the owner makes the atmosphere even more friendly.

The challenge of the Argo restaurant is to combine traditional flavors of Santorini, or more widely from the Mediterranean, with other types of products coming from elsewhere to create unique dishes. A super gastronomy that makes it possible to familiarize yourself with the originality of the aromas of fava (broken pea pea), white eggplants, and patatina - a specialty that mixes eggs and potatoes - among others. The place is cozy, flowered and has a terrace with impressive views.

A gastro menu in a very nice place: excellent food, breathtaking view and, to top it all off, a very good musical atmosphere. On the menu orchestrated by chef Konstantinos Angelopoulos, among others: beef cooked Brazilian style or risotto with mushrooms and truffle, all washed down, of course, with wines from the island. Mediterranean recipes with incredible meats, but also special menus for vegetarians and vegans. For a sweeter addition, it is also open for breakfast or a drink.

Don't hesitate to pass the door of this venerable institution in Fira that is Naoussa. First of all, you go there for its spectacular view of the caldera - try to book a good table, you won't regret it - and secondly for its prices which know how to stay wise. The menu features traditional dishes, including excellent stews and keftedes (meatballs) with tomato. We appreciate the pleasant service, which is not necessarily the case elsewhere on this tourist island.

A beautiful sheltered terrace and a small quiet indoor room. You will find here a delicious local cuisine, with a beautiful place devoted to capers (kapari in Greek). Try in particular its fava and grilled lamb with white wine and thyme.

Recently opened by the owners of 1500 BC (located just below it on the caldera), this restaurant is sure to become one of Fira's most popular addresses. Named after one of the greatest Italian wines, often described as having aromas of tar and rose, Barolo offers subtle and refined gourmet Mediterranean cuisine. Overlooking the volcano and surrounded by traditional whitewashed buildings, Barolo offers an enchanting dining experience with a breathtaking view.

Opened in 1982 in the Monolithos region, Mario's restaurant has become famous in Santorini for its authentic and traditional Greek cuisine. Here, we work with love and respect for the best specialities of the whole Aegean region, with freshness, closeness, authenticity and audacity as our watchwords! Moreover the restaurant can accommodate up to 450 people, making it one of the best places on the island to enjoy a dinner by the beach but also to organize an event... like a wedding. Atmosphere guaranteed!

On the beach of Périvolos near Perissa, this fish and seafood restaurant is a nice surprise. But it cannot be reduced to seafood, moussaka, for example, is delicious. We appreciate the pretty platform with the bar and the swimming pool on the beach, an ideal setting for resting outside the hustle and bustle of Fira. In addition, Edmond the French-speaking boss offers sun loungers to all French people! A good listener...

Looking for the best view of the Caldera? There's competition, but you'll probably find it at Alali. This gourmet restaurant boasts an absolutely stunning panorama not only of the crater, but also of the surrounding cliffs, with villages gleaming white like snow-capped peaks. And the nine-course tasting menu is incredible: oysters with herb and kiwi emulsion, duck breast with rosemary, cod confit à l'égéenne... You're in for an unforgettable evening.

A small institution like we like them near the pedestrian street. If you take the fresh fish of the day, the bill can quickly rise (and rightly so). But you can also eat a few tasty mezzes on the run, such as tomato and mint croquettes, a Santorini speciality, or homemade vine leaves.

A romantic and flowery restaurant, with beautiful rooms and a breathtaking view of the caldera. How to resist its arbour facing the caldera? This traditional restaurant has been open for over 20 years. Greek cuisine and varied a la carte or in menu: mezzes, fish, seafood, meats, soups, salads. We also tasted grilled sardines with basil and roasted tomatoes and an excellent rizogallo (rice pudding). The view over the caldera, the romantic atmosphere and the quality of the services will not leave you indifferent.

The atmosphere created by the setting and decoration of the restaurant is worth the effort alone, especially since small traditional music concerts often take place there in the evening to liven up the meals. On the flowered terrace or in the archaic hall, you can enjoy some delicious local dishes at reasonable prices. The restaurant also offers a wide range of vegetarian cuisine, and each dish is prepared with carefully selected and generally organic ingredients. The establishment has long been called Sporos.

Located below the central square, this modern tavern with no pretensions to the friendly servers offers Greek dishes, slouvakis, salads, meat, fish, pasta and pizza with wood fire, all in a relaxed atmosphere and at attractive prices. Air conditioned room on the floor and outside balcony with two tables.

A restaurant created in 1996, a mixture of local and international specialities. Greek Mediterranean influence. Outstanding bread made home. Lunch and light meals are served at lunch. An essential dinner on the roof terrace where the 360 ° view is unique. Small boats can be rented with or without a permit for day or day walks.

With fresh, local products, Mediterranean recipes and an originality inspired by ethnic cuisine, the chef makes miracles. The view is an enormous asset for this romantic three-storey restaurant, situated on the pebble. The hotel is perfect for relaxing and relaxing.

In a beautiful, closed and flowery courtyard, you will also hear Greek art by tasting dolmadakia, tender artichokes, poulet chicken, honey and red pepper.
