Look no further for the best view for sunset drinks & dinner in Oia, Santorini - hidden within a few minutes only from the entrance to the old town.

Such a nice quaint place. There is outside seating at the lower level and seating on top of the bar where you could see the sunset. The food is excellent and the service is just as good. The views at both levels are fantastic I recommend.

Can’t explain how high end this meal was! The food was so delicious. The smoked wagyu brisket is a definite must! Best brisket I have ever tasted. The seafood pasta was amazing so fresh. Kobe steak definitely worth it!

After a walk through Oia we were a bit overwhelmed with the massive crowd and took a turn to a less overcrowded street and passed by this hidden gem. The beautiful setting immediately caught our attention and on top of that, the restaurant offered a wide variation of vegan dishes. Everything was really delicious, the staff was very attentive and the view was just amazing! Couldn’t wish for more :)

The food was delicious! We had sea bass and lamb - both were outstanding. Waitstaff (Telios) was wonderful!! We ate on the rooftop and the atmosphere was great.

We had dinner here after sunset. It was a little chilly on the roof but service was excellent and blankets were provided. Vegetarian options were good. I had the pumpkin ravioli which had a lovely sage vegan butter sauce. My wife had the summer risotto which was buttery and fresh. Both plates were beautifully presented. The price was around 50 euros without wine. I would thoroughly recommend this place.

Loved the rooftop deck. Wonderful bartender, and company at the bar. Beautiful place to watch the view. I recommend asking for an espresso martini. My only complaint is that the women who managed the upstairs area obviously tried to up-sell us, as we were not drinking the most expensive wine. She was very abrupt about it all, but we brushed it off and kept drinking the wine we had previously ordered as it was delicious.

Decided to try the upmarket Sphinx Wine Restaurant tucked away from the crazy alleys of Oia. The location is truly stunning with exceptional views of the sunset. The food was so good. We had the Ravioli Bolognese and Crab Parpadelle (with sea urchins). In addition, we ordered the Santorian Salad. Great service, excellent quality food. Highly recommended!
