It was a very windy day, so we were looking for a place with a quiet garden. This place was perfect! The food was great! Our waiter was young, quick and professional. We had a great time! More

We had our favourite Greek food - flavoursome salads and grilled fish. It was very good but perhaps a little on the pricey side. The service here is friendly and knowledgeable - we were given good advice on wines and they were there when we needed them without being intrusive. More

I found this restaurant via an online search, and scoped it out during the day for dinner that night (it is down an Oia back street and a little hard to find but I think this location is another element that makes Kandouni special). Even though there is no view over the caldera, the restaurant owners have decorated it as... More

I am over the moon about Kandouni -- every aspect of the restaurant experience here is amazing! I've tried many restaurants in Oia over several years, many are good, but this has to be the best. All my meals at Kandouni were more than memorable, they were exquisite! In addition, I chose Kandouni over all other places in Oia for... More

Recommended by our hotel owner and it was situated at the back alley of the main street. And it turns out to be our favourite restaurant in our stay in Santorini . The restaurant is very nicely decorated with candles and wax and the ambience is certainly top notch! Our favourite dish is the pork sautée with mushrooms. The sauce... More

Romantic pretty outside courtyard with really nice food. Staff attentive, more expensive than the local tavernas but more sophisticated food. Loved the beetroot and goats cheese 'sandwiches' and grilled mushroom starters. Loved the fish baked in salt and seafood paella mains. The best restaurant in Oiai More

Everything about this place is brilliant. The waiting staff were friendly, polite and very passionate about the food they were serving. The food was not just the best meal I'd eaten in Oia (it ranks with my personal favourite - Ambrosia) but one of the best and fairest priced I've had in recent years. The beetroot and cheese mousse starter... More

A local merchant recommended this restaurant to us and we were certainly not disappointed! It was by far the most beautiful restaurant we'd seen on the island. The decor was romantic and inviting and cozy; and the the food was as delicious as its presentation. We spent a wonderful 3 hours enjoying the food, ambiance, and conversations with the staff,...

I stumbled across Kandouni restaurant through the back streets of Oia when i was travelling on my own back in 2010. The restaurant is so beautiful, filled with lit candles and fresh flowers which gives it a romantic ambience. The food is delicious, the house wine is incredible and the service is amazing. You always leave with a smile and... More
