Selene

If you eat only one meal on Santorini, eat it here. This is the best restaurant on Santorini -- and one of the best in Greece. Selene uses local produce to highlight what owner George Haziyannakis calls the "creative nature of Greek cuisine." The appetizers, often including a delicious sea urchin salad on artichokes and fluffy fava balls with caper sauce, are deservedly famous. Entrees include brodero (seafood stew). The baked mackerel with caper leaves and tomato wrapped in a crepe of fava beans will convert even the most dedicated flesh eaters. The local lamb, quail, rabbit, and beef are all excellent. In short, everything -- location, ambience, view, service -- comes together to form the perfect setting for the delicious, inventive food. The selection of cheeses from across the Cyclades is impressive. If you want to learn to make some of Selene's selections yourself, check out her cooking classes at www.selene.gr.
