We ate here on Saturday night and while the food itself was OK, we were particularly disappointed with the service. We had the set menu which consisted of a starter, salad, main and 'dessert spoon'/coffee. The zucchini/feta starter was quite nice, the salad was a standard Greek salad, while both of our mains were average. Mine was basically chicken in... More

A breathtaking view of the sunset from all of its terraces. We were lucky to find a table just 30 min before the sunset. An upscale restaurant in a beautiful location offering an excellent food in a dream like atmosphere. A must when visiting Oia. More

My partner and I both agreed that the view was amazing, the food was cooked well and tasty (we are both well travelled foodies) but I did feel we paid for the view which as it was, was worth it. Service was great, give it a go, it is definately worth it for the view! Oh and you do need... More

Where to start? First impressions are powerful...WOW!! Talk about impressive! The receptionist/host (Nicholas?) He was inviting, funny and wonderfully friendly! As we walked down the steps towards the patio, I thought...am I in heaven? Our table was fantastic! Perfect view for the much anticipated sunset! Our very hospitable waiter greeted us and gave us much pleasure when he returned with... More

We visited Fanari for a special dinner to celebrate my girlfriend's 40th birthday and our hotel arranged the booking, requesting a really nice table. We were not disappointed and arrived to find we had the perfect corner table with a clear view of the sunset. The menu was great fun and very imaginative - see attached photo of the appetiser...

This was the best meal we experienced in our stay in Santorini, and we had quite a few. The food was creative, tasty, well presented and along with the sunset view atmosphere was unbeatable. A bit pricey, but then you are paying for the best and location! More

We had one day in Oia and was going to eat dinner. When climbing the stairs up and down, getting a little lost, we stumbled upon this restaurant. I can't really say anything bad about this restaurant; it made our week! This experience with great staff, great prices (not overpriced, like many other restaurant in Oia), fantastic food, breath-taking view... More

We were in Santorini for a day during a 7 day cruise of the Greek Isles and came upon Finari just as the sun was getting ready to set. We would have been happy with any meal, given the perfect setting. We were a party of 6 and were seated at 2 side-by-side tables on the lovely terrace. Did we... More

We had an unforgettably romantic sunset dinner here on our trip to Greece in May. The grilled octopus was to-die-for, and a beautiful presentation! If you go to Santorini make it a point to locate Fanari Villas in the village of Oia. More
