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.

It was an absolutely amazing experience! I have been to many restaurants, but in this place every detail is perfect — from the communication during the booking process to the very last moment of the evening. Impeccable service, exquisite cuisine, breathtaking views, a refined wine selection, and the expertise of the sommelier. The atmosphere makes you want to stay longer. An unforgettable evening that will remain in my memory for a long time. I wholeheartedly recommend it!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

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.

Lauda Restaurant – A Culinary Jewel in the Heart of Santorini Perched on the cliffs of Oia with breathtaking views of the caldera, Lauda Restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience that seamlessly blends fine cuisine with the island’s natural beauty. From the moment we arrived, the attentive and warm staff made us feel truly welcomed, setting the tone for a remarkable evening. While Lauda offers an à la carte menu, we chose the exclusive Chef’s Table experience, a delicate and thoughtfully curated selection from the brilliant mind of Chef Emmanuel Renaut, whose mastery is felt in every detail. Each course was a celebration of Santorini’s rich flavors, interpreted with creativity and elegance. The dishes were not only beautifully presented but also harmoniously balanced, showcasing local ingredients elevated through refined technique. The wine pairing was equally impressive, featuring a well-curated list of both local and international wines that complemented and enhanced each dish perfectly. As the sun set over the Aegean, the atmosphere became simply magical—the kind of setting that makes each bite even more memorable. What truly sets Lauda apart is the perfect harmony between food, service, and place. The team’s attentiveness was exceptional, anticipating every need without ever being intrusive. Dining at Lauda is more than just a meal; it’s an immersive experience where gastronomy, hospitality, and the stunning backdrop of Santorini come together in perfect balance. For anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary journey in Santorini, Lauda is a destination not to be missed—an experience that lingers in memory long after the final course.

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.

Great dinner experience. Probably the best in Santorini! The menu is sophisticated and emphasizes on the Greek cuisine! The wines and the cocktails very well paired with the menu and of a vast variety! The service was absolutely perfect and all the staff was so professional, friendly and efficient. Great thanks to all of you guys one by one and especially to the restaurant manager Mr. Gkaltsidis !!!

An absolutely outstanding dining experience from start to finish. We chose the tasting menu and it was one of the best meals we have ever had. Each course was beautifully prepared, full of flavor and creativity, and presented like a work of art. Angeliki guided us through every dish with such warmth and knowledge, making the whole evening even more special. The service was exceptional, with Nikolas, Vaggelis, Stratos and Alex being attentive, kind and professional, creating a relaxed and elegant atmosphere that made us feel truly welcome. The view over the caldera was breathtaking, adding a magical touch to an already unforgettable evening. Five well deserved stars!!
