Although there are plenty of restaurants located along Oia’s main street, 1800 is the one that really stands out from the crowd, not just for its glorious views but for tasty dishes as well. The restaurant is at captain’s mansion, which dates all the way back to 1845, and it is an establishment that won numerous awards for its creativity and interesting spin on Greek cuisine. When you decide to visit 1800, some of the standout dishes you should taste are lamb chops served with a sweet and sour green apple sauce, and a fresh grouper served on top of Santorinian sun-dried tomatoes and spicy Santorini capers.

Here, we were introduced to some great Santorini wines by ways of a small tasting, and were offered fried calamari, the special of the day. For dinner we opted for a delightful Santorini salad, salmon with small potatoes and red snapper fish caught locally near the volcano. For dessert we ordered crème Brule which was served on fire.
