About

Iliovasilema Restaurant is a captivating culinary destination spectacularly perched on a high ridge in the tranquil area of Troulaki, along the scenic route toward Cheronissos. Staying true to its name, which translates to "sunset," this legendary tavern features an expansive open-air terrace that offers some of the most breathtaking, unobstructed panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the setting sun on Sifnos.

The setting beautifully transforms an evening meal into a magical, immersive experience, combining the dramatic natural beauty of the Cyclades with the intimate, cozy charm of a traditional family estate. The kitchen presents an exquisite marriage of authentic Sifnian gastronomy and creative, modern culinary twists. The menu showcases premium local ingredients, featuring classic slow-cooked delicacies like mastelo baked in clay pots, golden revithokeftedes (chickpea balls), and unique dishes utilizing local manoura cheese. Every plate is prepared with deep passion, ensuring exceptional freshness and a beautiful balance of flavors. Combined with highly generous portions, a refined wine selection, and genuinely warm, attentive hospitality, it stands out as an unmissable destination for a memorable sunset dinner.

Everything we tried was great! Meat, salad, revithada. The service was also great and prices are reasonable. You need to book a table before you go. Next time we visit this restaurant, we will go right before the sunset because the sun is in your eyes.

I recommend you book a table in advance, it gets busy. Try to get a booking for 8pm if you can. That way it has cooled down a bit and you can watch the sunset. There isn’t a bad seat in the house so take what you can get. The food is great. The service is amazing. Such lovely, friendly and funny staff. Hot potato salad was a surprise star. The lemon cake is like a cheesecake and was very good

The food was an absolute pleasure. Everything was delicious, but the lamb chops are an absolute must-order - don’t miss them under any circumstances. They were incredible. The tomato and carob salad was also unforgettable On top of that, the view is breathtaking. The sunset here is honestly one of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Superb experience our absolute favourite in Sifnos. One of the local places you want absolute success for but fear they will be flooded. Food was perfect. Local, unpretentious grilled meat and traditional sides. View is extraordinary. Service exceptionally friendly and generous.

Good comfort food and a beautiful view! The lamb chops were absolutely amazing and easily the highlight of our meal. We didn’t have a reservation and got lucky moving to a front row table when another couple left, but I highly recommend reserving a table ahead of time to guarantee an unobstructed view.

Great food! We had the warm potato salad, and the veal steak. The veal is the size of your head - it can definitely be shared or brought back for a second meal. The staff were incredibly kind and due to a chillier evening, offered us some blankets to keep us warm. One of the locals from our car rental mentioned that this was the second best spot on the island for sunset - it would be wise to book a reservation via email!

The view and the food was amazing—some of the best I had in Greece. The steak was incredible (I rarely order it in Europe, but this stood out). Grilled lamb and chicken were perfect, and the whole family loved everything. The chilled red wine paired beautifully with the fresh bread and spicy feta. Don’t forget to order the grilled halloumi cheese!!! Best since Cyprus! Highly recommended! Service will be slow when busy! So don’t except quick in and out service for sunset! But staff are really friendly. Except 2 hour dinner The Lemon pie was also 10/10, very light and smooth with perfect gram cracker crust. Think best Key Lime Pie you have had but Hint of Lemon.
