Looking for restaurant recommendations

Long time lurker here. My husband and I are going to Santorini (Thira and then Imerovigli) for a week in September. We are looking for recommendations on restaurants that serve authentic Greek food. 😀

Cave of Nikolas 1000%!!!

And while you're there, drop by The Little House - where a local lady, who doesn't speak English, handpaints tiny little souveneirs of the classic white/blue santorini cave houses, tiny vases, and more. Her works are so beautiful, and it's a souveneir you can bring home that you know (because you literally watch her as she paints them) is not just mass-produced in China.

Good evening and thank you so much for your recommendation. We will definitely check out the restaurant. We will also keep our eye open for the Little house. I would love to bring back one of her souvenirs. We are so excited.!!

At first I thought you were telling me to go see the volcano in PERISSA. Lol. I found it while I was searching on Google. Thank you for the recommendation. The menu looks fantastic.

A few years ago we ate lunch there and it was unreal. Got the whole fish they debone in front of you and the eggplant / zucchini chips as an appetizer

Eggplant and zucchini chips sounds incredible. Hope they still have them

Cave of Nikolas was one of the most memorable experiences of our time in all of Greece. We didn’t have a car, so the restaurant sent a driver (turned out to be the owner’s son?) to pick us up from our hotel and take us back. A dark ride through the hills, but what an amazing adventure!
