Eggomio — Restaurant in Municipality of Thira

I spent 8 days in Fira and every one of those days I spent my mornings there talking with Stelio’s (owner) Giannis, and the next door shop owner ,Spiros.

Let’s talk about the food:

-Made to order -Fresh and real ingredients -Traditional -You will go home and talk about it

I made sure that I had something different everyday, from when I was a kid I use to remember , to new and “traditional “ plates. Definitely, you HAVE to try the “Dakos”, and menu item #1 (can’t remember the name”. The pastitsio, and the yogurt with figs and walnuts!

Service: -Friendly -Humble -They don’t throw plates on the table or rush to take the plates the second the last bite is in your mouth

Atmospheric/Experience:

All the above means nothing if you don’t have good experience. These guys ended up being a “morning crew”. Easy going, great conversations, and they room the time to be company because they WANTED to. With a hello and good morning everyday! ( make sure you say good morning to Giannis and remember to shake his hand or don’t go at all ;) ) kidding aside, you couldn’t ask for a better experience with these fine folks. Stelios, blew my mind because I have never seen an owner, who not only chips in to the staff, but be a regular human being to spend time with his clientele like he does..as does Giannis.

If you don’t give these guys 5 stars, you have no heart. Definitely go there, and I know, this is all I talk about.

His sausage with orange bits warps me back to the days we use to have that on Sunday...

Maybe my expectations are high for brunch and breakfast places.. as Australians are surrounded by competitive brunch restaurants. Considering the Greek snack souvlaki pita is much favoured, I guess people would tend to wait till midday to have these unhealthy snacks instead of healthier breakfast options.

This restaurant is however one breakfast place I still enjoyed. I ordered the avocado scramble while my partner had his truffle scamble. Both meals hit the spots in terms of meeting our appetites. However, as much as I wanted to give five stars, it wasn't a wow-factor. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate their creativity in their menu, their customer service and their barista who makes their fresh coffees, but it would've been better if the bread was not a slice of loaf but sourdough? I would've been happy to pay a little more for a fresher bread ;)

With that said there is a reason why this place is considered number 1 breakfast place on Tripadvisor. Pst... there's not that many great breakfast on Santorini... Hopefully, if I come back in the future, I'll see more of these places.🐱

Yes sure, I'm a snobby...

I never do reviews, but I’m doing this so hopefully they will use this to improve. I stopped by this place this morning because it was one of the only one opened and I was hungry. Not a good idea. I ordered the avocado and ham sandwich, bad bad choice. First of all it was not avocado it was a guacamole spread that was brown in color, I could not taste the “avocado” on a sandwich that was advertised as “ham and avocado”. Second the lettuce was wilted and brown, how can a cook miss that? We were the only customers at that time, so no excuses that the cook was too busy or that he’s not a robot and makes mistakes. I would not had mind paying what I paid, if the food was worth it. They need to take a little pride on the food they sell. I would have been better of, buying a premade sandwich from one of the...
