Mavro Restaurant offers unrivalled culinary experiences customized to the highest standards of quality, taste and style. Be it a hearty breakfast, an enchanting cocktail, a romantic dinner or a special occasion, dining with us will remain forever imprinted on your heart.
A Celebration of Land & Sea
An evocative culinary experience in harmony with Greek traditions dominated by bold flavors and aromas that match the unique views of Santorini’s caldera in intensity and seductiveness.
Every dish reflects Greece’s deep connection to the land and sea. Our culinary philosophy is rooted in seasonality, sustainability, and simplicity, allowing the natural beauty of each ingredient to shine. We work closely with local fishermen, farmers, and artisans, ensuring that our menu is always fresh, vibrant, and deeply connected to Santorini’s unique terroir.
The flavors of our kitchen are inspired by the Aegean’s abundant seafood, the island’s volcanic soil, and the fragrant herbs and cheeses that have defined Greek cuisine for centuries.
From delicate Tiradito of the catch of the day, to bold interpretations of Greek classics like Pastitsio with slow-cooked short rib or Cauliflower Carbonara with Cretan Apaki, every dish tells a story of land, sea, and creative passion.
Indulge All your Senses
Inspired by the diverse flavors found on the shores of the Mediterranean, created with locally sourced products grown in the volcanic soil of Santorini, and paired with the finest wines from around the world, our dishes are packed with flavors as much as emotions. At Mavro Restaurant, we lovingly handpick the finest ingredients, using them with the utmost care and profound respect, as we seek to grasp something as elusive as happiness.
MAVRO DINING EXPERIENCE
Located in Imerovigli, the most privileged location on Santorini’s caldera, MAVRO is the perfect place to introduce something new to the Cycladic culinary scene. Conceived as a representation of what the environment around us has to offer, our strictly seasonal menu is dominated by fresh fish delivered daily by local fishermen from nearby seaside villages. Our main goal is to celebrate the purity and authenticity of Greek cuisine through a modern perspective guided by our love of the Mediterranean diet, not only as a cuisine but also as a way of life. At MAVRO, we honor local flavors as much as the air, the sun, the sea and the island’s rituals.
The Ambience
Just like a precious black gem unearthed from the volcanic rocks, Mavro Restaurant at 5-star Kivotos Santorini adorns the caldera of Imerovigli with its distinctive, all-black architecture. Dine on our veranda that floats above the magnificent Skaros Rock where the shadows of an old castle city taunt the imagination. Let the soft Aegean breeze whisper words of love as you savor Mediterranean cuisine at its finest. Enjoy the seductive experience that you can only find at Mavro Restaurant.
Sunset Experience
Experience the sublime spectacle of Santorini’s world-famous sunset from the vantage point of our terrace hovering above the Aegean Sea. Sit back, relax and enjoy the extraordinary technicolor views in a setting of pure elegance as you savor a glass of your favorite wine or champagne in the company of your loved ones. Combined with a curated program of Sun Rituals, a mystical celebration of the sun’s primal powers, this is an experience you won’t forget. Come for the views, stay for the experience. Sunset experience only with reservation (lounge area) 18:30 to 20:30
