Armeni Restaurant

Stunning fresh food especially the scallops, views by the sea, and eccentric entertaining jolly owners who served us and other guests. A totally unique experience. Stellar. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience, this is it! We actually walked down some steep stairs from the main town all the way to the sea as we had no reservation only to find out everyone else took a boat there! I would recommend traversing this way, it’s quite an adventure. At the end of the meal, you’re whisked away by their private boat to soak in the caldera sea back to Ammoudi Bay. What an experience in Santorini. A true hidden gem, away from all the other restaurants and tourists. If you think those restaurants with sea high up views are beautiful, this will win your heart.

From the beautiful boat ride in to the staff to the delicious food, this place has it all. Would highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you are looking to get out on the water but the crowded catamarans aren’t your style. We went for a 7pm reservation and caught the end of the sunset on the water on our way back.

We took the complimentary speedboat from Ammoudi Bay to Armeni Fish Tavern and were treated to some stunning hidden gems of the island along the way. From the moment we arrived, the staff were absolutely fantastic, warm, welcoming, and full of humour and making everyone feel at home. We left our order in their hands and they did not disappoint. Beautiful fresh bream, fresh grilled prawns, and the best grilled octopus we’ve ever had. We paired it with the house white wine which, as wine lovers, we can confidently say was perfect. The atmosphere was unlike anywhere else. nestled at the base of the cliff, just metres from the water, with uninterrupted views of the sea and boats sailing past. This is a must-visit in Santorini. Outstanding food, amazing people, and an unforgettable setting.

This was by far our favorite restaurant, not just in Santorini but of the entire trip. So glad we tried it and we even went back for a second lunch (which we almost never do). Focus is all about the food - the grilled prawns are a 100% must, and the Scallops were excellent. Then the Sea Bream whole fish was so good and they filleted it at the table perfectly. Then they offer a free boat back to Amoudi Bay (we walked down the steps the first time, but the second time we were sitting at a restaurant at a moody Bay looking at the prices and the food and decided just to finish our beers and take the boat for a second time and so glad we did). If you are debating if it's worth it was its a bit out of the way, I can assure you it 100% is.

If you are very lucky, you find a restaurant like this once in your lifetime. The food is incredible, yes. I will dream about that meal for the rest of my years. But what truly makes this restaurant special is the service. From the second you’re picked up on the boat until the second you’re waving goodbye, you feel like you’re part of a family. A true gem. Thank you for your hospitality and a dinner we will talk about forever. Until next time!

Unbelievable experience as recommended by our hotel staff. The guys were very welcoming and entertaining, the fish and food was extremely fresh, and the whole experience/presentation was beyond expectations. The boat and views to and from was an extra special treat to it all. conplete

The walk up and down is a little rough, but in my opinion, totally worth it. The short boat ride was stunning as well. Food was delicious, a little on the upper price range but we thought it was well worth it. Especially with where you’re sitting and what you’re eating. Service, was quirky and fun. They all made us feel welcome and made some great recommendations.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Armeni Restaurant in Santorini. From start to finish, it felt special and memorable. They picked us up by boat on a moody day, and even that short 10-minute ride was such a fun and unique way to arrive. Everyone we met was incredibly warm and welcoming. The owner greeted us personally and even showed us the fresh catch of the day, sea bream, sea bass, and snapper, all caught just hours earlier. We chose our fish, and they grilled it to perfection. The staff cleaned and deboned it right at the table, which made it so easy to enjoy. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and simply amazing. The side dishes were just as impressive, especially the tzatziki and the spicy feta, which I can’t recommend enough. Everything felt prepared with such care and authenticity. Overall, this was one of the most delightful dining experiences we had in Santorini. Between the boat ride, the hospitality, and the incredible food, I can’t recommend Armeni Restaurant highly enough. A must-visit!
