One of the best experiences of my life, the view of the caldera was absolutely breathtaking. The menu had info about the history of the restaurant on Oia and about the chefs which was a really nice touch. The food was excellent, we did the 3 course tasting menu and a bottle of wine. Definitely not a cheap meal but if you’re willing to ball out one night it’s worth it
Overlooking the caldera became no joke - you sit on an outcropping over the sea, the winds occasionally bustling through. We opted for the tasting menu, complete with unusual and tasty bits - most were surprising. We each had our favorites, of course. :) Warning: beauty and taste costs dearly. Yes, it is crazy expensive, and also, it is hard on your knees. There are NO lifts going up or coming down. If you choose the wine pairings and now need to make your way back to your hotel, it may take you a hot minute. Also, the pricing is what we call a "TV dinner" : for the same price, you could get a new flat screen.
I had both lunch and dinner at this restaurant, and the experience was exceptional. The view is extraordinary, perfect for anyone seeking exceptional food paired with a stunning backdrop. The staff was superb, and the prices are reasonable for the high-quality service provided. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.
Best restaurant in Santorini! The view was amazing. We did the tasting menu, food portions were perfect. The foods were all delicious and elegantly made. The servers were so attentive and well put together. Will definitely recommend to anyone who travels to Santorini.
