I want to give this a one star because it's rare I have to leave the restaurant, but the rest of the people in our group enjoyed the food so it'll get a three star.
We looked at the menu outside and it looked like there were a ton of great options. We came in at 3:45pm so a little early for dinner late for lunch. Either way we were seated and given "lunch" menus. Word of caution, the lunch menu is NOTHING like the menu outside. Completely different.
Ok... I'll find something to eat. I have a food allergy that makes finding safe food items difficult. So I go through the menu and find the one item that looks safe. I run to the bathroom and come back to find that the other outside menu is dinner and they're not serving it AND the item from the lunch menu is not available (fried calzone).
I walked out.
My advice, put the correct menu outside for the correct time period and swap them when the menu/meal changes. I wouldn't have gone in and we wouldn't have stopped if the menu was correct. Several people in our group wanted other items from the main menu and had to settle for something else. I had no option so I left. Two other people left as well without being able to order what they wanted.
The rest of the food was apparently good so I can't in good conscience knock this place down to a one star review. The inside atmosphere looked great. Very pleasant. Only one or two other occupied tables out of a dozen or so. Bet this place has amazing food for dinner (several items on there I would...
Read moreCame here with my daughter (16) after a day around Delphi. It really is worth venturing further into town and supporting local businesses as the buses come and go and the town misses out.
The view from out the back was stunning and worth it alone just to sit with a good one but the service was second to none and the food delicious, fresh and served beautifully.
The owner spoke several languages fluently including English, French and of course Greek, I suspect no doubt he probably speakers German, Spanish, Italian and a whole host of other languages given how he easily he switched from one to the other.
The wine list was fabulous, lots of local wines as well as those from around the world to choose from and lovely ambiance. This place should be busier than it is. There was a steady flow but I suspect people don’t walk this far into town or just hop on buses straight back to Athens which is a shame.
The wild boar pappardelle was delicious and cooked perfectly, the rooster with gnocchi in a red wine sauce was beautiful. Perfect sized portions as didn’t feel the need for more.
We received a complimentary strawberry liqueur each, but as daughters wasn’t of age they gave her a lovely strawberry jelly instead!!
I highly recommend taking the walk further into the town and supporting the local businesses when in Delphi rather than just busing it straight in and out.
A beautiful experience, wonderful host, stunning food and views, great value for money, all round...
Read moreGastronomic Excellence and Impeccable Hospitality at Iniohos, Delphi
We have just completed our visit to Delphi, and our stay at the Iniohos Hotel was an experience that exceeded all expectations. The hotel is excellent, perfectly clean, and the staff is extremely kind.
However, what truly elevated our stay was the dining experience at the L'Aurige Delfi Restaurant.
Sommelier Christoforos is a high caliber professional and the key person behind the absolute success of our dinner. With astonishing fluency in communicating in English and French, he not only served us flawlessly but guided us on an unforgettable culinary journey.
Christoforos suggested a fantastic steak, cooked to perfection, followed by an excellent wine tasting, recommending a wonderful wine that harmonized beautifully with our dish. His knowledge and methodology as a sommelier were truly impressive.
Beyond the meal, Christoforos was incredibly helpful, providing us with valuable, personal advice for touring Delphi, pointing out places of interest that we would not easily find on our own.
Congratulations to t he Iniohos team a nd especially to Sommelier Christoforos. The L'Aurige Delfi Restaurant is a destination in itself. We wholeheartedly recommend it for a complete experience of culture and high...
