For us at Pyrgos Restaurant, dining is not just about the food; it’s about savouring the essence of Santorini through every bite. Nestled in the heart of Pyrgos Village, our restaurant invites you on a culinary journey where tradition meets creativity, all paired with breathtaking island views. If you are visiting us for lunch or dinner, here are some of the must-try dishes at Pyrgos Restaurant that showcase the best of what we have to offer.

A Taste of the Sea

Start your meal with one of our standout seafood creations and a Santorinian signature dish, our octopus with smoked fava beans, cuttlefish ink tarama, caramelized onion purée, and chive oil. Tender, flavourful, and elegantly balanced, this dish is a perfect representation of Santorini’s connection to the sea and land.

Our menu celebrates the bounty of Santorini and Greece with dishes like the classic Greek salad, brimming with fragrant tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, Kalamata olives, and sumptuous local feta cheese, an imperative start to every Greek meal. The Pyrgos salad is a refreshing medley of crisp greens and sweet tastes of summery figs, pomegranate, pine nuts and soft local mizithra cheese, while the grilled eggplant, sourced from Santorini’s volcanic soils, is elevated with a delicate feta mousse, crispy potato chips, and a sweet & savoury Florina pepper purée. All are dishes that bring local flavours to life in every bite.

You will also experience a taste of Greece’s rich culinary heritage with our feta wrapped in fyllo pastry with honey, a popular appetizer that perfectly balances salty and sweet, crispy and creamy. Another must-try dish when at Pyrgos Restaurant is our skioufihta, traditional Cretan handmade pasta served with slow-cooked veal cheeks, a hearty, comforting dish full of deep flavours and tradition.

The Greek moussaka special at Pyrgos Restaurant is another guest favourite. Layered with eggplant, potatoes, minced beef, and béchamel sauce, it’s a timeless classic that feels like a warm embrace of Greek hospitality.

Of course, no meal on the island is complete without sampling the fresh seafood and fish selections. Whether grilled to perfection or prepared in traditional recipes, each dish highlights the freshness of the Aegean. If you’re feeling indulgent, don’t miss the iconic lobster pasta, a rich and savoury treat perfect for special occasions. Beyond these highlighted dishes, Pyrgos Restaurant is proud to offer a variety of grilled meats, like tender lamb chops, juicy steaks, and flavourful chicken, all prepared with Mediterranean herbs and served to perfection.

Round off your meal with our luscious cheesecake topped with homemade marmalade, crafted with seasonal fruits for a fresh, tangy-sweet finish. It’s the perfect way to conclude your Santorini dining experience.

At Pyrgos Restaurant, each dish is a tribute to Santorini’s flavours, history, and beauty. Join us for an unforgettable dining experience where every recipe tells a story and every story is worth savouring.
