The best restaurants Thira

In an old green garden full of palm trees and flowers. A relaxation area to enjoy coffee, wine, ice cream or meals under the vines. Excellent cuisine. It is also recommended to visit the wine cellar which is a museum with more than 200 bottles, mainly from local production. A veritable vaulted cellar 10 m underground for 400 years, now open to the public. Live music on Tuesday and Wednesday at 22 pm. Bar-restaurant in the centre near the square, in the small street down next to the Pelican hotel. An address for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Considered one of the best fish restaurants on the island, its name recalls the date of the eruption of the Santorini volcano and the creation of Caldeira, in 1500 BC. This magnificent restaurant with an unforgettable view offers mainly fresh fish, washed down with a wide choice of carefully selected Greek wines. It must be said that the perfectly French-speaking owners are great travellers and seasoned gourmets, so there is no doubt about the quality of the food and the service of this magical place.

A recently decorated restaurant located on the central square of Fira. From its open kitchen, you can see the numerous Greek dishes made home, mainly with meat and vegetables. It also makes it possible to put water in your mouth and choose more easily what you want. Good value for money.

With a bit of luck, you will find a table with a view of the Caldeira here without making a reservation, which is still difficult because there are a lot of people. Fanari's major asset is its panoramic and plunging view on the Caldeira from one of its 3 terraces. On the kitchen side, you will of course taste local specialities such as stuffed tomatoes Santorini style or lamb kleftiko, but also grilled fish or spaghetti with lobsters. If you type, Loukas, the chef and owner, loves Paris.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
