About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
At Rizes Gastro Taverna, true flavours begin from the roots—drawing inspiration from Greek history, land, and tradition. Our philosophy is to honour the essence of Greek gastronomy by connecting past and present, where timeless recipes meet fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Each dish is a tribute to the Cycladic islands, crafted with simplicity, authenticity, and respect for the raw materials.

Working closely with local farmers and fishermen, we ensure purity, seasonality, and depth of flavour in every plate—from refined seafood to premium meat dishes. Executive Chef Makropoulos Alexandros and Head Chef Maria Sylla create a journey of flavours. Now in its second year, Rizes continues to evolve with an expanded cellar and curated experiences.

Recognised with its first distinction by the FNL Guide and featured in the FNL 'Skinos' List 2026 as one of the 10 restaurants in Greece you cannot miss, Rizes offers a dining experience rooted in authenticity and elevated by creativity.

    Incredible!! From start to finish, staff were attentive and accommodating! They know you are there for the views and give you space and time to “get your shot” but by the time you leave you are there for the incredible food, delicious wine and cocktails and impeccable service. I would return time and time again and recommend to anyone going to Santorini. Big thanks to Ermal, our server, who gave 5* service with ease but without stuffiness. He made the whole experience one to truly write home about. Thank you for easily our best night in Santorini!

    The experience was great. Food amazing and the pink sangria was amazing, also get the Briand appetizer it was a stuffed zucchini with the best tasting tomato sauce it was like unbelievable. We tried the lasagna styled dish and the orzo dish with the flank steak. Both amazing this place is a gem. Dine here for sure

    If you are in Santorini and looking for a special evening of outstanding food, magnificent views, and particularly exceptional service from the welcome to Elena and the rest of the staff, this is the spot. We have been in Europe now for a couple of weeks and without a doubt this so far has been one of the best culinary experiences that we have ever had. Do not miss this spot.
