A highly respected restaurant on the island, located in a traditional sea captain’s house on one of Oia’s quieter streets.

Archipelagos
Sitting above the caldera, this restaurant has stunning sea views looking out to the surrounding islands. It is one of Fira’s best options, serving up tasty Greek/Mediterranean food (top tables: 1–6 have a sea view on the upper level; 1–3 on the lower).

Nikolas
This traditional, family-run restaurant is tucked down one of Fira’s back streets, just next to the Enigma nightclub. It serves fantastic home-cooked food, but be prepared to queue for the privilege of eating with the locals.
Just up from the main square in Fira

Seaside Lounge
This excellent beachside restaurant in Perivolos sits at the very end of the right-hand side of the beach; it’s a great choice for lunch or dinner.

Vanilia
A Mr & Mrs Smith romantic favourite is this place, located opposite the old church high on the cliff in Firostefani. Choose a table downstairs for intimacy, and upstairs for a view of the ocean. Do try a local wine from the carefully put-together lists (Nikteri was our favourite).
