Lauda Restaurant

My husband and I did a tasting menu here for our honeymoon. The view of the ocean was unobstructed from all tables. The knowledge of the staff for the ingredients and process of preparing the food was very impressive. The service was unmatched and made for a great experience. Very tasty dishes with fresh ingredients. We would highly recommend.

We had the Chef’s Table Experience, which was a 10-course meal with wine pairing in an exclusive area of the restaurant with a head-on view of the caldera. The view is exceptional, the service was mind-blowing, and the food is Michelin quality. It was so much food and drink so come hungry if you’re signing up for that experience!

We were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary and chose Lauda to celebrate. The seating looking over the Caldera is incredible! It is hard to describe how special it is. Be prepared to walk down many steps to get to the restaurant level below. The service was impeccable. We had a six or seven course testing menu with wine pairing. They start with an on the house plating before moving on to your courses. (They prepared a gluten free menu for me showing my courses to highlight how they modified dishes that contained gluten. The food is presented looking like works of art. Each bite is a culinary experience.

Amazing views. We had the Discovery tasting with with pairing. Make sure you have 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Top notch ingredients, best wine pairing we had in Greece, excellent service. Scorpion fish and Croaker fish amazing. Alex our host was outstanding. Pricy but worth every Euro. Only opportunity was timing on dish delivery, it was off at times but minor.

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

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.

Excellent food and service all around. Thank you to the restaurant manager who offered us the best spot in the restaurant. Excellent wine list and great to see a female sommelier! We had a wonderful dinner and all dishes were so well prepared, presented and delicious. The view from this restaurant is phenomenal! Mind blowing and so peaceful. Service is flawless and on point. We loved every single bit of our evening here. Absolutely wonderful! Worth every single penny!

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.
