We found this small taverna during a nocturnal stroll through Oia. What a fabulous find! Such genuine people, great good and extremely knowledgable about local produce and how to cook it! We stayed late into the night chatting long after the last customer left, then walked yo a bar that had been recommended for locals nightlife! We learnt about Santorini... More

We were very pleased with the food and atmosphere. The staff was friendly and the setting was quaint. The menu was diverse and was an excellent first dinner on the island during our trip.

We went on a recommendation and quickly realised that we should have left before we were even seated when the staff were sitting around smoking and looking bored! We were given menus and left until after asking, a waiter returned and said "let me tell you what we don't have" and proceeded to strike off half the meal options. .The... More

Eleven of us dined here on the recommendation of Craig, the owner of Atlantis Books, and the restaurant more than lived up to his promises! The food was tremendous -- prepared fresh and perfectly seasoned -- and our indecisive group with a variety of dietary needs (gluten free, vegetarian) was easily accommodated by the very flexible kitchen staff. We were... More

Me and my mum went to Kandouni for dinner in April - we sat outside and it was nice and quiet. We only ordered 3 dishes to share. One salad, one dakos and a "grilled" chicken breast. The salad was good - too small though for the 10 euros we paid for it! The dakos (traditional and simple greek dish... More

This restaurant came recommended by our hotel in Fira and we were not disappointed! The food was amazing and the experience was outstanding. The serving staff were extremely friendly and helpful when looking to pick out dishes and wine. The family lived in Montreal previously and being from Canada ourselves, it was great to see them doing well! Overall, everyone... More

Wonderful family-run garden restaurant serving excellent and original home-cooked Greek dishes. A memorable meal and a warm atmosphere; one is immediately made welcome. The owners speak excellent English, having lived in Canada, and go out of their way to explain every detail of the marvellous dishes prepared by the father. Beautiful place -- don't miss the most charmingly decorated restroom... More

Went with a couple of friends during the off season. Kandouni was one of a couple restaurants open. We were greeted by one of the owners, two brothers half Canadian and half Greek. Had unbelievable lamb and local wine. After our meal we were treated with a couple shots of Raki, a really good Greek hard alcohol. Overall amazing food... More

Nice place with a lovely yard and a romantic atmosphere but unfortunately that's all... It doesn't really succeeds in making you feel that it deserves the money that you pay...
