Metaxi Mas

A local recommended this place and it’s away from all the touristy area and had the local vibe. Driving to it in these unfamiliar and winding country road in the night did feel like an adventure to us. They have a small dining room and one side of the outdoor sitting opened. We were lucky to find a small indoor table. A group of local diners were performing Greek music and singing. Good atmosphere except that the table was quite small and we were crammed into this corner table. But the restaurant was accommodating and was able to move us to a bigger outdoor table when one became available. Food wise - Fried Feta cheese and oyster mushroom were my favorite. Boar sausage was nice too. Broccoli soufflé was very interesting but seemed a bit too cheesy for my taste. Lamb neck was super tender but I felt it would be even better with more depth in its flavor. Dessert and some sweet liquor was provided for free after food. And it’s quite tasty.

Great dinner spot. Cozy location with eastern views towards island of Anafi. You won't get the sunset view the west facing places get but it's still very nice. Staff were great and friendly. House white wine was very tasty and food was good. Wild boar sausage especially good. Prices are reasonable.

Easterly facing and set in a quiet neighbourhood area, this restaurant boasts a different view of Santorini. The food is delicious and generous. We received complimentary Raki on arrival and (goats?) cheesecake for dessert. Very popular amongst the local cats (and Americans...). Recommend booking in advance and asking for an outside table. We went during a busy period but there were other walk up tables available.

Very nice local restaurant at the top of the hill. They get full pretty quickly. I had octopus and mussels - both are super fresh and well cooked.

Incredible westerly views. Hidden gem restaurant. Kind and welcoming staff. Fantastic Greek hospitality. Fresh food. Authentic. Everything was amazing. They gave us vodka shots as a welcome and an amazing dessert to share prior to departure.

Traditional Greek restaurant with delicious dishes. Terrace with panoramic views of the bay below including the airport. Although we had a reservation and arrived on time we had to wait for 20 minutes to be seated. Staff prompt to serve, polite and fast. The best sending off of our Santorini stay.

This restaurant was recommended by our city tour guide in Athens, we had an incredible dining experience here. The sunset view was absolutely breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for our evening. The appetizers were delicious, with a great variety that set the stage for an amazing main course. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff making sure everything was just right. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and highly recommend anyone to try out this restaurant!

First of all, this place has been highly recommended but looking at some of the reviews, seems opinions are highly polarised. Let me explain my view on our meal there. Easy to book over the phone, we did it same day. Parked at the top car park next to the church and walked down. Waited to be seated. Nice seating area as you descend. We were seated and managed to get a seat near the edge. Service was adequate but not attentive. I mean I’ve had much better service at cheaper restaurants but we were served eventually. This reflects some of the reviews I’ve seen. For example, had to ask twice for ice. Had to ask to order. Had to ask for service. Lots of rushing but also some inattention. Complimentary reiki, bread, olives, cheese, rusks and desert. Nice touch. We shared asparagus in cheese sauce (amazingly tasty), I had pork in orange sauce and jacket potato (which were oven roasted small new potatoes, slightly warm) and 2 pork steaks in an orange (juice?) sauce. No veg. Would have preferred 1 steak and some veg. Wife had chicken tagliatelle which she loved. My pork was overcooked to the point of being too dry so the sauce helped. House rose and bottle water then delicious cheesecake. Worth going for the atmosphere which was amazing - some food good but choose carefully. And don’t have too high expectations on the service.
