About
Taste something truly special in a time where everything authentic and handmade has its own intrinsic value. Share intimate moments while you are dinning literally on the edge of the cliff with the famous incomparable blue view around you. You can’t be anywhere else but at Lycabettus. This delightful terrace is shaded by countless clusters of stars and creates a sense of grandeur in a relaxed and elegant setting. There’s clearly plenty of imagination in the kitchen where our executive chef features genuinely inspired dishes. The menu unwinds a string of proposals all equally tantalizing. There is nothing else to expect but the finest taste from all over the island in an incomparable atmosphere.

Our meal here was a wonderful experience. Setting, food and service were all excellent. Some could consider it expensive, but for what you get for your experience it is worth every penny.
Firstly the setting. Set on the cliff, overlooking the Caldera, open air, beautiful mood lighting. It has a sophisticated special occasion atmosphere.
The Service was excellent. From the door staff to the Maitre d' everyone was welcoming and attentive. All the waiters and sommeliers were friendly and very knowledgeable about their area of expertise.
The food itself was thought provoking and excellent. From butters infused with different flavours to accompany the bread, a variety of appetisers that intrigued as tastes often differed from the expectation. Everything was immaculately presented.

Excellent fine-dining in one of the most romantic places I have ever been! Magnificent views to Oia and the caldera in a minimal and nicely decorated environment.
We tried the 7-course tasting menu, which featured very delicate flavours and imaginative combinations of Mediterranean ingredients. The food was excellent! I was particularly pleased with the flexibility of the staff to tailor the tasting menu to my diatery requirements.
Service was great - all staff were extremely polite and helpful, amazing hospitality.
I would only comment on the price, which we found quite high, and especially for the wine list which we thought was overpriced.

Dear Valued Guest,
Hello from our majestic island and thank you for taking the time to review Lycabettus Restaurant on TripAdvisor.
We are very happy to read that you dinner here was a memorable experience and that you enjoyed several aspects of our restaurant such as the food, the view and the service. Regarding our pricing policy kindly note that we use only the best ingredients of top quality which are not always available on Santorini and therefore have to be imported thus raising the cost.
We would love to welcome you again during your next visit in Santorini

Excellent diner overall. Service was great, and the dishes we ordered were prepared with care, and fresh ingredients.
Pricey, but worth the money.
Small hiccup - wine list is great, but some bottles are listed with 4x retail price.

Dear Mr. Victor,
Good evening and thank you for your kind review.
We are very happy that you enjoyed your dinner at Lycabettus Restaurant and that you liked the food and the service. Please keep in mind that being on an island makes the logistics a bit more dificult and it increases the cost.
We would love to welcome you again in the near future!

The location and view are great. Welcoming staff. The wine pairing was not up to the high standards that they pretend to be at. When we shared that we were not 100% happy with the pairing during the main course, we did not see the waiter anymore afterwards.
I don’t think it worth the price, only the ocean view balances the experience.
Far away from any Michelin star restaurant or any other restaurant proposing menu at 140€.

Dear Mrs. Julie-Marine G,
Hello from our majestic island and thank you for taking the time to review our restaurant on TripAdvisor.
We are happy that you enjoyed the view that our restaurant offers and the level of service.
Regarding your remarks about the wine paring I would like to point out that you asked to have a wine paring totally different from the one that our sommelier has recommended to accompany our tasting menu. More specifically, you've requested to serve you only red wines and we gladly accommodated your request. During the main course our sommelier pointed out that a white wine would be much more suitable but again you opted for a red. Last but not least please note that the french speaking waiter you are referring to ended his shift before your dinner was over and this is why you did no see him again. Of course, other members of Lycabettus team were at your disposal.
Thank you for your feedback!

We really liked the degustation menu and the amazing view but the price is too high compared to other very nice restaurants in the same area.
You have to choose the degustation menu for 159€ to be seated on the rock and add an extra 55€ to get the Wagyu instead of the chicken or lobster instead of sea bass and add another 115€ to get the wine pairing. The service was not up to the standard of a luxury kind of restaurant.
The reservation process is also too complicated, you have to book through email and pay a deposit of 100€.

What a wonderful experience. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing, from start to finish the service, location and food were all top notch.
What really stood out was the Sommelier, her passion and love for the wines was clear. Whilst there were a few wines I wouldn’t chose to drink on their own they really came alive with the food pairing.
We always love learning about wine, and in particular for us it was learning about Greek wine of which we had little experience that most enjoyable.
This must be one of the best Restaurants in Oia.

This is THE restaurant to celebrate a special occasion- it’s insanely romantic and the view, experience and service are top notch. Yes, it’s expensive but I don’t think you can go to a place like this with a tasting menu and not expect to spend that type of money. I will say we found the wine to be more marked up than other fine dining restaurants. For an unforgettable meal that is more of an experience (our sitting lasted 4.5 hours) I fully recommend this place. A tip for the ladies- ask the hostess to provide you with slippers to walk up the stairs after the meal to avoid climbing the stairs in your heels.

Visited the restaurant twice - once for lunch and once for dinner - both times we had excellent service and excellent food. Dinner was amazing, with an amuse bouche before and after each course. The chef remade a dish without meat without us even asking for a replacement. The waitress also noticed my girlfriend didn’t like her cocktail and brought a replacement again without requesting. The food was great and the setting very picturesque - definitely worth the money to come here!

The dinner was overpriced, we had degustation menu (160Eur each) to then discover water in a plastic bottle ws not included and actually charged 9 Eur each bottle (same we have paid 1.5 eur throughout the holiday). Service was patchy with presentation not always perfect as you would expect in a place like this. lamp on table was changed 4 times and once had a spider net on it. The location is beautiful and is worth it but the food, price and service are not.

The restaurant is on a fantastic location with an amazing view (but it requires a few steps down with no handrail to get there). The style is a combination of modern cuisine, Greek, Mediterranean and sophisticated. We went a la carte, and I have to say that we were not disappointed. The food is Michelin star level, and every dish was cooked to perfection and tasty. The service was also very good and friendly.
The wine list is extensive, both with local and foreign wines, and the head sommelier is extremely nice and knowledgeable. I will definitely book again next time I am in Santorini.

I gave 5 stars because they do so many things very well. First, the service was excellent. They work somewhat in a team concept and their service was impeccable. They would wait if one of us wasn't at the table to explain the dishes, always making sure our water or drinks were full, explaining everything to us, etc. I'm so sorry I don't remember all of their names. Their sommelier was wonderful.
I absolutely have to give superior credit to the bartender as well. Most bartenders know how to make adult drinks, but sometimes mocktails get a parting glance at other restaurants ("mix up some fruit juices and throw a twist on top"), but not here. By far, they have the best mocktails my teens (and I) have ever had. I included a picture of the drink just because we were so blown away. Who knew? Ha.
Their food itself perhaps ranks as a 4 star, but their dishes are solid. Palate cleanser was delicious and their mains were very tender and tasty. The technique however was creative and artistic without losing taste. Sometimes restaurants try too hard to be "artsy" and lose quality. This doesn't happen here.
The view is obviously amazing. We did have to put down a deposit in advance, but it wasn't complicated to do so. Very happy we went.

This was a beautiful place to celebrate our engagement in Oia. We reserved a table on the balcony which required a price fix menu. It was definitely expensive but offered a unique dining experience worthy of a celebration. The wine recommended was delicious, and each of the dishes were unique combinations of flavor we had never experienced before. The service was as good as it gets - from sommelier recommendations, utensils specific to each dish, blankets offered once it got chilly, etc. - on par or exceeding any other fine dining we've experienced. The substitutes for additional cost (lobster, wqgyu) were overpriced though, we should have stuck with the regular menu, which in it of itself, was incredible. Thanks Lycabettus for an unforgettable evening.

The service and kindness of the waiters were excellent and the view was great. I enjoy fine dining a lot and maybe I’m not ritzy enough for this place but we paid pay $700 for 6 ounces of food for two. All the appetizers were served cold (that’s the style), lots of flavor packed into small portions but the amount of salt they put in made me gag. You’ll pay $65 for half a lobster tail (I expected at least a full) and $55 for two bite size pieces of steak. If you’re not an older couple, or someone who has extreme wealth, don’t come here. Also not a place for an average or above average joe to bring his significant on a romantic, special occasion, you will likely be disappointed.

The location is amazing , really one of a kind. In our opinion the menu is overpriced. The waiters were really nice and attentive. However, the sommelier ruined the experience for us. From the beginning of the night he was trying to do aggressive sales. We said we want Greek red wine and without even asking about our desired price range he brought 3 bottles and put them in the table, the cheapest one was 180€ and asked which one. I told him that we like simple Greek wine, he got visibly pissed, left , came back with another bottle and with an attitude and poured us that wine. We were having fish and it was way too think, heavy, with very high tannins. He came back a little later and I told him that it was such a wrong choice of wine and that it doesn’t match our food at all. And his response was - yes, I know, but that’s what you wanted. I explained to him that it was NOT what we wanted nor asked for, but again the ATTITUDE he was giving us was something else. It felt like his revenge for not wanting to buy super expensive wine. He came back and without even looking at us poured us 2 glasses of wine that was much better and took the bottle away. The wine he sold us, as we found out later, when we got the bill was 121€. I think people like that shouldn’t be working in service, especially in special expensive restaurants where people go to have a memorable night.

You can compare this to a 1 star restaurant. Horrible experience and low quality food. The only thing they have going is a view, dont be fooled! It was freezing cold with very high winds, obviously you can’t control the weather but what you can do is let someone know before you come that perhaps we should cancel the reservation and re book because you may be blown off the cliff. My fiance had 6 blankets around her. Clearly i see you’re desperate for money so you will take any covers. If you're the owner of the restaurant you should be embarrassed of the service and management team you have in place.
Food - was awful. Its time to change you're 30 year old chef with someone that understands the meaning of high end, quality food and ensures presentation is proper. Ordered two cocktails, limes were brown and old, my fiances margarita, she didnt touch. It tasted outdated. All of the food was completely cold. On two occasions the server told my fiance, “this dish is not to your liking” and she said no it tastes weird, hence as to why she didnt eat it. Nothing was done besides an awkward silence. Meat and chicken completely cold. My fiance was left in the bathroom all day for two days in a row. The chicken, which i have a pictures of, lt was yellow in color and looks like dessert. The american table next to us also were complaining about some of the dishes.
Save yourselves the money and go to the other millions of restaurants in santorini. This is simply overpriced for the view.
Lastly, we have waited for three days for the cowardly hotel manager to call us to review the experience with her so she can have decency to give something off of the bill. But she refuses to get on the phone and tells her manager, tell them nothing we can do and the manager returns to us with, she will not get on the phone, she doesn't have time.
Again, i work in hospitality - truly a 1 star service hotel/restaurant. We were willing to pay for 50% of the bill - we will just directly deal with American express for a full refund.
Mark my words, this will be spread to everyone i know.
Bravo
