Went twice last week and they were the twi best meals we had on our Oia trip. Excellent food in an atmospheric old house, Candouni gave a rare authentic feel in the sometimes hyper-modern Oia. Spiros and his staff were incredibly friendly, endlessly accommodating and...generous to a fault A warm atmosphere with fine food and generous portions at mid-range prices.More

The restaurant was so quaint and charming. The food was delicious and service was great! We had a wonderful dinner. The place is a little hidden off the beaten path. The owner and “Elvis” provided a wonderful experience. One of my faves in Greece!

After reading some reviews, I´ve invited my wife to dine at the Coudini. The first impressions were fine but going to the toilet she became concerned about cleaness of the kitchen. At the entrance of the toilet she could see many boxes laying on the...floor. The food was ok but at the moment of paying the waiter did not accept my international card demanding that the payment be made in cash because the machine was not accepting my card, I had to run to an ATM machine to get the money. Back at the restaurant I complained to the manager, he then said it was a mistake of the waiter who should have used another machine that accepted international cards.More

Wow! Having spent 11 nights on the Island our meal at Candouni was easily the best! In our experience it pays to sacrifice the caldera view to get a better quality meal. We sat in the pretty and romantic garden of Candouni and were served...by wonderful staff who knew their menu inside out and were clearly passionate about their food. Everything is home cooked "like our family would eat it" according to the waiter. The house special lamb was delicious and the dish of the day beef orzo was divine. Great food, great atmosphere, great service! Not to miss if you are visiting Oia .....More

Super cute setting. Good place for an authentic Greek meal! The eggplant dish and the lamb dish was delicious also the walnut cake. Recommend a visit but book ahead.

The food at Candouni was nothing other than excellent, which was the same for the location, the staff and the overall atmosphere here. We really enjoyed our evening meal. It is slightly off the beaten track, but is a must in my opinion if you...are visiting Oia. The live music, and the setting gives an authentic feel to the restaurant. We stayed in Oia for a week, and ate out each night, and this was my favourite meal during our stay!More

We have been to Santorini four times and the one restaurant that we always want to go to is Candouni. The ambience with lattice covered vines is the perfect setting to enjoy wonderful food and the feel of Greece. Meanwhile, the best part of evening...at Candouni is the service and the energy of the owner, Spiros. He prides himself on creating a home away from home feel and delivering great good based on recipes passed down through generations. It’s a popular place so make sure to make reservations. You will love it!More

Locely restaurant away from the main busy street of Oia. You can eat inbthe charming candlelit courtyard or in the lovely traditional interior the food was delicious and the musians played all evening. The staff were lovely and attentive.

Nice location. Food was average and therefore on the expensive side. Be aware of the wine, is much to expensive for this kind of restauarant. We paid 60 euro’s for 4 glasses of housewine. For this amount of money I would expect the wine to...be excellent.More

From the moment we walked in the door, we felt like family in this classic Greek home/restaurant. The food was authentic and amazing. Perfect end to a great week in Santorini—make a reservation!

We managed to eat here the second night of our stay in Oia. The first night we were turned away as we didn’t have a reservation. Second night we still didn’t, but we were told we could have a table in an hour’s time. There...was a guitarist/ bouzouki duo playing the most beautiful Greek folk music and we felt so drawn to them that we agreed to come back in an hour. So glad we did! Honestly, the waiting staff were pretty understaffed and service was really slow, but they were friendly and chatty, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful so it was worth it. These musicians genuinely made our whole experience so if you want to go here, go on a Monday or Tuesday as those are the only nights they play!More

Great experience. The food and house wine were amazing. It’s a hidden gem because it doesn’t have the sunset view so many desire but if you’ve seen that already, go here for a terrific meal.
