One of the most delightful dining atmospheres on the island.

History,

More than 170 years old, our restaurant has an interesting history that we found necessary to share with you.

Last century, the location was the site of a captains house whose owner left for months at a time to ply the sea trade while his wife stayed to mind the home. The high walls outside were to protect the occupants  from the many pirates that would try their luck pillaging. Most however were turned away because of the confusing street layouts combined with the wives pouring hot oil on them from the vantages of the walls.

Further on the restaurant was converted into the first pharmacy of Santorini, and when the current owners took over, they discovered many relics from this period. Once such item is a photograph over 100 years old of the doctor and his nurse standing formally in shades of amber.

This photo now is framed upon one of our walls accompanying many other ancient objects from the past.

Cuisine,

Fusion in essence, our experienced and professionally trained chef have expertly created a menu that encompasses the strong Santorinian love of good food and wine, using the islands distinctive foods.

Incorporating the owners love of travel, we have put together a menu that is served with flare covering a broad spectrum of the worlds cuisine. From Thai to Spanish and Norwegian to Italian, all dishes retain the essence of their origin while including our own Greek preparation and presentation to furnish you with an culinary experience that will not soon be forgotten.

No good course is complete without a wisely selected wine. To compliment the menu, we have in our wine collection, a variety of domestic Greek wines that we have specially selected to provide you with a full and bountiful taste. Santorini wines especially, due to the distinct environment, have a distinguishable flavour that is a perfect fit for many of our dishes. A selection of Santorini Port (Vinsanto), will finish off any meal with quality and richness.

Our deserts are all prepared in the restaurant and are brought down from historical family restaurants. The walnut cake must certainly be tried to be believed.
