Savoro is a gastronomic journey above the Ionian Sea – a sunset symphony.
Tucked into the cliffside of the idyllic Assos village, Savoro is not just a restaurant — it’s a transcendent experience that redefines what dining means on a Greek island and a transcendent culinary sanctuary that seduces every sense. Nestled above a fairytale turquoise bay, with its Venetian fortress embracing the hillside, this hidden gem offers a view so surreal, it feels like you’ve stepped into a painting. As the sun sets behind the lush green hills and pastel houses of the village, the sky turns to gold, the sea shimmering like silk and everything around you disappears and time slows down. You are no longer a visitor — you are part of the scene.
The atmosphere is elegant, calm, and completely unpretentious — the kind of place where your heart instantly feels full.
From the very first second, you are enveloped in understated elegance. Every detail is curated with intention — from the immaculately set tables and the stylish, modern yet warm design, to the exceptional service. The service is impeccable and what sets Savoro apart is the a knowledgeable sommelier greets you with a gentle passion for the culinary art, introducing each course like a story unfolding chapter by chapter. Nothing is rushed and you can feel that this isn’t just hospitality, everything is personal.
A Feast of Emotion and Artistry:
We began our journey with fresh oysters, each served on chilled pebbles, evoking the very sea they came from, dressed with cucumber, shallot, chili, and lime — a bright, briny explosion of freshness. Alongside came warm, crusty house-baked bread, paired with a thoughtful selection of spreads:
• Taramasalata topped with trout roe and chives,
• Aubergine caviar with tomato and crumbled feta,
•Olive tapenade with deep, earthy note.
Then came a great dish, The dayboat ceviche that burst with brightness — delicately cured and laced with citrus juices, marinated delight with onion, chili, and coriander, bathing in a vibrant broth that hinted of the Ionian breeze. Fresh, punchy, and full of sea-kissed flavor.
We continued with the tomato salad with strawberries that was a revelation, featuring juicy local tomatoes, fresh strawberries, pickled shallots and fig — a sweet-savory masterpiece that danced with contrast and harmony.
The “Tsigaridia”, a humble Greek classic, was transformed into a refined delight: sautéed wild greens with feta and dill, gently wrapped in rice sheets — comforting, earthy, and quietly poetic.
But the true game-changer? A dish that will live in memory forever — The steamed dayboat fish gently poached in a rich broth of lemon, extra virgin olive oil, and black pepper emulsion. The texture was perfect, impossibly tender, melting into the tangy, rich jus like poetry on a plate. This dish, without exaggeration, was perfection on a plate!
We continued with a luscious Cacio e Pepe crab pasta, where the umami of bottarga dust elevated the creamy pepper sauce to new heights. Elegant, decadent, unforgettable.
As side dishes, we couldn’t resist the crispy prawns with garlic aioli — deeply satisfying Golden and light, with a whisper of the sea.
We also had and the Cracked potatoes with bottarga, an unexpected combination that worked in perfect harmony.
Dessert was a fitting grande finale: the almond cake “Barbule”, elegantly topped with white chocolate, toasted almonds and a silky coffee caramel sauce. The sweet vine panna cotta, light, silky, and fragrant with hints of grape and herbs.
Savoro is the kind of restaurant that stays with you long after the evening ends. Every bite tells a story of place, season, and taste. Every dish is crafted with precision and soul. Every view is a postcard. Every sip of wine and bite of food tells a story, of care, of creativity. It is rare to find a restaurant where aesthetics, flavor, and heart converge so flawlessly. This is not just dining — it’s a destination, an emotion, an ode to...
