Aviary

This restaurant was my first kitchen table experience. And gotta say, had a really great time. Each meal was served by a different waiter, and they all were fully engaging. They described every meal and drink.

As a friend put it, this place was more about the drinks, and the food was the actual pairing to the drinks.

Some other notes is that this place is from the same group as Alinea, and they do recommend drinks back and forth. Also, my three favorite foods from below is the pea soup (had real crab meat), the scallops, and the scallion fritters.

Here is the complete menu:

  • Dungeons and dragons (white run with dragon fruit) and a ricotta lemon zest starter
  • Golden eggs drink (pineapple beer tequila) with scallops and caviar
  • The blue berry (gin, blue berry) and scallion fritters
  • Tea (rum and cognac) with Crab meat dish
  • Truffle explosion
  • Duck with popcorn whisky (3 whiskies)
  • Wendies frosty and chips (which you dip the chips in )
  • Sorbet with an aperitif (there was almonds and several fruits in it)

Pacman Sunset Restaurant

We went here for our second night at Santorini.

We were supposed to come here for sunset? But came a little later because we were taking pictures somewhere else in Oia. But we did make it to see it would have been a great sunset view.

The place itself is pretty legit. There’s an infinity pool with a pool bar (closes at 6pm though), and a DJ that is live mixing.

Will say drinks and food are a bit expensive, but everything was great.

For appetizers, got a hamachi truffle roll, crispy calamari and tomato pepper spread with pita. All great.

For drinks, got something called tropical art rum with lychee and pineapple juice, and something called summer _____ (sparkling win, passion fruit and vanilla).

For the main course, got something called Skioufixta, which is smoked salmon bits the Cretan pasta. Also great, and portion size was just right.

Overall, would come back again!
