SEAFOOD & FISH Tavern SANTORINI
We serve only the freshest catches from Aegean Sea. Seafood is our passion, freshness is our mission, and quality is our commitment.
Our Story
Santorini… Akrotiri beach… By the sea, lies for many years a small, traditional cave, build by Uncle Nikolas with his own hands when he was young. Made with lots of love and passion, the cave offered a kind of shelter to himself and his little boat.
Always by his side was his wife, Aunt Efstathia, whom her “magical” cuisine made everybody crazy. Unforgettable Spiros Marinatos, headmaster of the excavation project in the archaeological place in Akrotiri, suggested to Uncle Nicolas to alter this shelter in a small tavern, for the hungry workmen of the excavation, offering them traditional and delicious treats such as tomatoballs, fava, “chloro” cheese, spaghetti with sauce and plenty of fresh fish.
Our Philosophy
The best of local produce, fish and seafood caught off the Aegean Sea. Our food menu change twice daily depending on what local fishermen have brought in to us.
Our chef Minas Alefragkis every morning selects the freshest fishes and seafood from local market.
The cuisine is mainly based on the gastronomy of Santorini and local products, with 70% of them and depending on the month, being our own production. Our own meats, our own vegetables, such as tomato, white eggplant, fava beans, pumpkin, vegetables, potato, lambs, pigs.
