The restaurant that put Santorini's own produce, fava, white aubergine, cherry tomato, on a serious table long before the island filled with sunset bars. Now in the hill village of Pyrgos.

The cooking
Cycladic ingredients cooked with intent, drawing on volcanic-soil produce and the island's growers. A quiet counter-argument to the caldera crowds.

VANE selection. Chosen with a critic's eye and judged independently. It's here because we judged it, not because it paid.
On this profile: a researched profile, drawn from the restaurant's own record and reporting, not a claim of a first-hand visit. Where we have eaten there, the review says so.
