Arístos — Restaurant in Kea Municipality

A bit disappointing.

On arrival we were offered a deal on half a fish to share between four, and a discount if we paid cash. This felt a bit desperate as if they needed to sell the fish because it was left over.

Worth noting that in Greece they list the fish prices by the kilo which can be off putting as you get a fraction of that on your plate.

The first problem we had was that there was nothing on the menu for my partner who doesn’t like seafood or tomato. We asked and she was offered meatballs (nice) with potatoes (chips) which was dry with no sauce.

Two of us had the Vongole: lots of clams but very small and lots of empty shells. Two had risotto, described as having several different shellfish varieties in it. It was decorated with some whole prawns but there was little evidence of the others, and you couldn’t really tell because the squid ink hides everything.

We shared a Greek salad which was nice, as was the house wine - we had both the white and red.

Bread was provided without being requested (and charged for).

Overall the experience was pleasant but not worth...

Hadn't visited in several years, as I had not been on the island, and I had it in my mind as the place to go for lobster-pasta (some would say wishful thinking). I can say with all certainty that the way I remembered it is exactly what it was when a visited a couple of days ago. The service was divine and the food spectacular. The lobster-pasta was creamy and full of bisque and served perfectly al dente. As my partner has a severe fish allergy we had informed the restaurant beforehand to be sure there would be no issue as it is a fish restaurant. They informed us that there would be no problem and to inform the service upon ordering of this issue. When we arrived and said the name of the reservation they already knew that we were the table with the fish allergy and informed for all preparations to be done away from fish and with no contact with any utensils properly used. Overall it was a great experience and couldn't be happier that it still remains as great as I remember. A big thank you to all of the...

Aristos was highly recommended by the staff of the hotel we stayed. Being a 5* hotel we expected they would recommend the best so we didn’t double check.

It’a located in front of the Vourkari port so you really get those island vibes.

Food was good but nothing to go crazy about.

We absolutely adored the garides saganaki, you could tell the tomato sauce was homemade and fresh.

The taramosalata was nothing like a taramosalata I’ve had before. We got it after my recommendation so my guests could try this dip, but honestly it didn’t taste like a taramosalata at all. Maybe it’s a local recipe I’m not aware of.

The seafood risotto was just ok.

Generally it was an...
