If you're looking for a culinary leap to Greece, you've come to the right place. We started with crispy and delicate לביבות קישואים, served with a rich and refreshing צזיקי sauce – a winning combination! The קפטא dish was juicy and seasoned just right, and the fresh פיתה lovingly soaked up every sauce. The chicken סופלקי platter offered tender and juicy pieces, grilled to perfection, and served with crispy chips and a classic Greek salad with excellent גבינה בולגרית. The פאבה dish also pleasantly surprised with its velvety texture. Every bite felt like a short vacation to the Greek islands, authentic flavors that evoke home and warmth.

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever tried in Europe.
The minced meat with eggplant, potato, and butter sauce was perfectly balanced — not too greasy and absolutely delicious. At first, I thought I wouldn’t like it, but I ended up loving it.
The grilled fish in the mixed seafood platter was cooked to perfection over charcoal — I’ve never had grilled fish this good before. It’s the first time I’ve actually felt that a country’s food tasted even better than in Vietnam.
The seafood was fresh and flavorful — naturally sweet and not overly salty like in Portugal.
The service was great.
Highly recommended
I wish I could had dinner here on my second day of staying around there.

Eat here, you won't be sorry. Best Greek food we've had and it's our 10th day in Greece. Wait staff is super nice abd patient. No rushing customers out. We had fava with pita bread, grilled octopus with grilled veggies, lettuce & tomatoes with fava on the side. Finishing it all off with ice cream & baklava.

Good food and friendly service. Pricy, as everywhere on Santorini, but worth it for the tasty food. Rooftop terrace has nice views. I especially like it that when a smoker lit his cigarette, he was asked to move outside by a waiter. We'll done! Atmosphere would have been better without the radioed music.

Had a great experience at Parea. Upon arrival our table wasn’t ready so we were offered a place to sit and wait as well as free drinks, it was very much unnecessary but appreciated nonetheless! The food was delicious. Definitely recommend the moussaka which was the highlight of the meal! Also provides a great view of the city below. We will definitely be back!

What a fantastic dinner!!
There's no killer view on this roof top terrace (it's kind of behind the caldera) but the food definitely makes this place a dinner to remember.
Very attentive and friendly service. Everything we ordered was perfect.
The complimentary cheesecake jars for dessert were an unexpected delight.
