Amaltheia — Restaurant in Municipality of Thira

Amazing service and food, what more could you want? We went here out of all the other places because everytime we walked past for the week the guy was friendly and wished us a good evening but never pushed us to eat at his restaurant like all the others acted like we were killing them as we walked past and he was always pleasent, not trying to get anything from us and no emotional victim attitude which really wound me up from the other places. On top of that once we were in he was still really nice and his other waiters, even though they were running around, they were light in humour, open and attentive. Then the food...it was great! My mum had the lamb and I the moussaka. Great choices! The lamb was SO soft with a delicious gravy and vegetables and my moussaka was perfectly seasoned. Even the bread was great, toasted with a amazing soft butter. It was very filling and we didnt need dessert. As we were leaving the waiter who had see us for 5 days walk past the restaurant came specially to say good bye and made sure we enjoyed the food. Such nice people and food. Perfect combo. The music and design here is...

Tourist's trap... We entered because of the offering on the boards outside... But the prices on the menu were a little bit different... We ordered 2 plates for starter and one sea bass to share for the main course. After 35 min of waiting we reminded the waiter about our order and we got the first dishes with the fish. We ate cold fish with very poor vegetables. After 6 days in Santorini, I can definitely say that it was the smallest and unattractive fish we have eaten on the island. The waiter knows his ways with people and maybe he is the real attraction...

The prices are average for the city despite the outdated interior and not beautiful location. We were expecting delicious traditional food, but unfortunately, we were disappointed. We ordered Gyros. The side dish included a single translucent slice of bell pepper, a tiny 2x2 cm lettuce leaf with a teaspoon of sauce. The pita was at the bottom of the plate, completely soaked in sauce. The meat was ordinary, and the sauce was only enough for 1/8 of the meat. Portion size was small. For the same price, you can have a tasty meal in a modern restaurant...
