Best Restaurants in Santorini
A curated guide to the best restaurants in Santorini — from iconic local institutions to under-the-radar spots worth crossing the city for.
Where to eat in Santorini
Metaxy Mas
Hidden in the village of Exo Gonia, this is Santorini's best-value restaurant. The fava (yellow split pea dip), tomato fritters, and lamb kleftiko are exceptional. Locals outnumber tourists. Book ahead.
Selene
Santorini's most celebrated fine dining restaurant in Pyrgos village. The tasting menu showcases volcanic-grown ingredients — cherry tomatoes, white aubergine, caper leaves. The terrace views are stunning.
Lucky's Souvlaki
A tiny souvlaki shop in Fira that's been wrapping the best gyros on the island since 1986. The pork gyro with extra tzatziki in a grilled pita is perfect and costs under €5.
To Psaraki
A seafood taverna in Vlychada harbour, far from the tourist crush. The grilled octopus and the fried calamari are impeccably fresh. The working-harbour setting with fishing boats is authentic.
Argo Restaurant
On the caldera cliffs in Fira with breathtaking sunset views. The seafood mezze is excellent and the Assyrtiko wine (Santorini's volcanic grape) is perfectly paired. The view alone is worth every euro.
Kapari Wine Restaurant
In the village of Imerovigli with a terrace overlooking the caldera. The wine list showcases Santorini's volcanic wines, and the creative Greek dishes — like fava with smoked eel — are memorable.
The Good Heart
A family taverna in Fira serving honest Greek food at fair prices. The moussaka is homemade and hearty, and the Greek salad with local tomatoes is the best on the island.
Ammoudi Fish Taverns
At the base of Oia's caldera cliffs, three simple tavernas serve grilled catch of the day at waterfront tables. The sunset from sea level — looking up at Oia glowing above — is an alternative to the famous view.
