Alios Ilios
/
Alios Ilios astounds and delights guests with creative Greek cuisine which combines cultural local flavours with a contemporary approach. The result is a dining experience that showcases the gastronomic wealth of Greece.
The ambience is laid-back and elegant and boasts a stunning sunset view over the Aegean Sea. Simply the perfect backdrop in which to enjoy gastronomic delights.
We loved tasting our way through the degustation menu which we enjoyed with a stunning bottle of PYRITIS Santorini made with 100% Assyrtiko which was full of minerality and flint which is a typical hint of Santorini’s Assyrtiko. It was the perfect wine to match the delicate flavours to come.
Highlights from the menu included the mouth-watering trahanas served with plump shrimps, juicy sausage and creamy feta cheese. The lamb fricassee was similarly delightful. Sous vide so it had a melt in your mouth texture, the lamb went well with the accompanying greens and tart egg and lemon sauce.
Dessert time at Alios Ilios showcased the kitchen’s versatility – just brilliant. A trio of desserts graced our presence and all 3 were outstanding. These were wonderfully matched with Vinsanto Argyros (20 years old).
The Modern Greek interpretation of the baklava was a true showstopper and featured crisp pastry, pistachio and pear ice cream, dulcey chocolate and a good amount of Metaxa Brandy.
Alios Ilios is a breathtaking restaurant that strikes the perfect balance between tradition and gastronomic inventiveness. If you are in Santorini, make the trip here and while you’re at it, sip on some of their perfectly mixed cocktails.
