Are you in Santorini already and you’re wondering where to have your meal? Santorini offers lots of restaurants, but we have curated the highest rated of them all by visitors and locals.
Selene
This is one of the best restaurants in Santorini, established in 1968. It is located in the village of Pyrgos. What makes them special is their dedication to the culture and tradition of Santorini by offering food made only from local recipes and ingredients. They offer Greek food most interestingly and fascinatingly, as well as Mediterranean and Vegetarian recipes. You can order for their squid in seaweed, rabbit marinated in red wine, or the very delicious Dorada with wild greens.
Krinaki Taverna
This Greek Taverna hosted in a wine production house that has been around since 1832 is all you need to satisfy your taste buds in Santorini. As a restaurant located in an area rooted in agriculture, they offer visitors an opportunity to taste what they harvest from the soil. You don’t get homemade food better anywhere else as they do it here. People recommend Saganaki and Moussaka, grilled eggplant, beef with pasta, and so on.
Aktaion Taverna
Aktaion Taverna has been around for more than 90 years ago. Since its establishment, it has witnessed plenty of change in its history. Today, the restaurant is one that remains committed to its roots, offering authentic Santorini and Greek cuisine that visitors and locals have come to enjoy a lot. There are many dishes, but the best you should ask for is delicious zucchini pie and marinated anchovies with garlic. Other people also ask for grilled and marinated mains or shrimps in basil pesto, which is somehow unavoidable.
Sunset
Seafood is a major part of the holiday experience in Greece and Sunset offers a special service that is created from the minds of the best chefs around. It is called Sunset by Paraskevas and was founded by a fisherman so, you’re in for excellent treatment of fish meals. Every ingredient, especially the fish and shrimps is handpicked by the restaurant owner himself, from the local market. Here, you’ll be able to enjoy the quality and special dishes like the lobster pasta recipe.
Aegialos
