Excellent. It has the most breathtaking views. No shade so bring a had and sunglasses or tough it out until the sun sets. It’s a quiet outside restaurant. Low pleasant elevator-style music played. Incredible for a romantic date, but also just fine for a group. No bad seat in the house. Attached to a hotel. Came with complimentary drink after dinner. A wonderful surprise! I definitely reccomend!

Easy to book using open table, booked on the day. Was given a perfect table with sunset view, beautiful location and very romantic. Food was good, and reasonably priced for Santorini, wouldn’t say the food was overly amazing but good value for what we paid and really you are eating here for the view and ambience which is exceptional. Service was perfect. I will definitely return to this restaurant if I visit Santorini again. This was my favourite restaurant during our week trip to the island.

This was a birthday meal, the restaurant prepared the best table with incredible views and we had a warm greeting. Even a complimentary dessert with candle and sparkler and a fine rendition of happy birthday by the waiter! We didn’t anticipate the cold sea breeze but the staff quickly provided us with blankets to keep warm. Could not have asked for more, thank you from both of us!

We booked this to celebrate our engagement in Santorini. The view of the sunset was incredible. The restaurant was in a very private setting so you can avoid all the crowds in Oia wanting to watch the sunset. The restaurant is very intimate and not crowded. The food was lovely but I think you are mainly paying for the view. The service was quite slow but this was also a positive as we was not rushed at all. I was slightly disappointed we didn’t get one of the tables right next to the edge to look directly over the sunset as it was our engagement meal. However, perhaps the other diners had booked further in advance to secure the best tables. Overall, nice food and romantic setting to watch the sunset in Oia.

We found out about Fanari restaurant from a fellow tourist and it did not disappoint. The views were absolutely stunning at sunset. Add on top the food was great and good value, and the location so peaceful - really I can't think of where could be better in Oia for a sunset dinner. Service was attentive and not rushed. Really can't rate this place more highly.

The location itself is lovely. However our experience was not. I booked this reservation for our last night in Santorini a week or so before our trip. We planned to enjoy wine and desserts as we watched the sunset. After looking at the menu earlier in the day we realized that there were not many vegan options and decided to eat our actual dinner prior to our reservation due to the fact they had limited vegan choices and I am a vegan. We kept the reservation to see the sunset and to have drinks and dessert. We were seated upon arrival and about 10 minutes later our waiter came over. We proceeded to order wine and 2 desserts. Our waiter then said: “so just wine and desert? No food ? “ We explained that we had already eaten and that we wanted to enjoy some wine and sweets. He then looked visibly annoyed and said: “that’s it? There are rules you know? You have to order food:” I then asked what he meant as I had not seen anything stating this on the website or on open table. He then said: “it is high season. At least order 2 appetizers.” I then explained again we had already eaten and asked if this meant we had to leave. He said yes unless you order. He then said: “think about it” and walked away. At this point we were so put off that we chose to leave. Missing the sunset on our last night. I have dined in many cities and countries and this was the rudest encounter I have ever had. Essentially, we were kicked out because he didn’t feel we we’re going to spend enough money. Almost ruined our last night.
