A bit hidden, but worth to look for it as it is really rather lovely: Restaurant Alchemia Lounge Cuisine (17. May 2026)
The Alchemia Lounge Cuisine isn’t really easy to find as it isn’t located in the tourist hot spots of Santorini, but a bit hidden in a lovely small town. And even then, I hadn’t spotted it the first time I had been to that town. That being said, it’s definitely worth visiting, but let me […]
Dinner in an amazing location with a breathtaking view: Restaurant Lure @ Mystique, a Luxury Collection Hotel (16. May 2026)
To visit the Mystique, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Santorini was on my to-do list for more than a decade. And finally, even if not staying here, it was the time to do so by visiting the Lure restaurant. I started with the “Never Gonna Let You Down” (EUR 25.00) drink, which was not only […]
An excellent last stop after the hike from Thira to Oia: Restaurant Ammoudi Fish Tavern (16. May 2026)
We didn’t really plan to have lunch here, but given we were hungry after a beautiful scenic hike from Thira to Oia, the Ammoudi Fish Tavern felt like the perfect place to finish the hike and eat something. We started with a “bread basket (smoked marinate olives, roasted tomato paste from Santorini)” (EUR 3.50), which […]
The first day they were open – and they’re not quite there yet: Restaurant Mr. E @ Istoria Beach, a Member of Design Hotels, Santorini (15. May 2026)
In their defense, they mentioned that this was the first day of the season they had opened, but frankly, they are not quite there yet. Upon asking for a specific wine, they said, the wine hadn’t been delivered, so, I asked for another one, which also hadn’t been delivered. Well, yeah, not really a great […]
A breathtaking view and delicious dishes, but a pretentious place: Restaurant Five Senses (14. May 2026)
I must admit, I was not entirely sure what to expect of the Five Senses and overall my assessment is a mixed one. The place is absolutely gorgeous with the view onto the bay and the sun setting, it’s just breathtaking. I mean, seriously, it’s not something you see so often in your life, so, […]
An excellent breakfast menu with a lot of variety: Restaurant Pergola @ Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort (14. – 18. May 2026)
The breakfast restaurant at the Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort is quite lovely. It’s located right by the pool and the staff is outstandingly friendly and – largely – competent. I basically went through the whole à la carte breakfast menu over these few days starting with the “bread basket (plain croissants, chocolate croissants, butter, […]
Absolutely mouth-watering dishes in a former wine cellar worth visiting: Restaurant Alati @ Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort (13. May 2026)
The first evening on Santorini already created a truly memorable moment – as a starter, we went for the “green salad, rocket, sun-dried tomato, cucumber, zucchini, toasted almonds, capers, lemon dressing, smoked salt” (EUR 18.00), which was one of the best salads I have had in a long while. Not only because the selection of […]
