Description
Imagine yourself dining under the warm Greek sun and the sound of the waves lulling you to sleep. The sea is more than just a backdrop at Nikola's Cave and plays a decisive role in your culinary experience. From our terrace you have an unlimited view of the Aegean Sea, where the horizon seems to go on forever. Sunsets light up the sky in shades of orange, pink and purple as the day ends. The image of fishing boats gently rocking in the waves lends an air of realism to the landscape.
Spilia tou Nikola's menu focuses on the abundant offerings of the Aegean, presenting a variety of fresh fish and seafood dishes designed to please both the palate and the eyes. Every morning, our chef carefully selects the best catch from local fishermen, ensuring that only the freshest ingredients find their way to your plate
The best local products, fish and seafood are caught off the Aegean. Our menu changes daily depending on what the local fishermen have brought us.
The chef of Minas Alefragkis restaurant selects the freshest fish and seafood from the local market every morning.
The cuisine is mainly based on the gastronomy of Santorini and local products, with 70% of them and depending on the month being of their own production. Their own meats, their own vegetables, such as tomato, white eggplant, fava beans, pumpkin, vegetables, potato, lambs, pigs.
On their own farm they produce most of the products you will find in the restaurant. Meat, cheese, vegetables, wine in a traditional way of production.

Good food with an interested family story.
Nice surrounding and view !
Restaurant is located in the old cave . Interesting paintings and sculptures exposition.
Good vibes ! 🍀
Located literally on the shores of the sea, a gem in the island that serves fresh and authentic food, made with local products. Although it is oriented seafood, there are options for everyone. We had a risotto which is absolutely gorgeous, anchovies grilled as simple and good as possible, as well as the grilled calamari which was also excellent. The portions are generous and the prices very reasonable. The wine price list is a bit on the high range (except the house wine), which is a bit surprising compared to the food prices.
The staff is friendly, and being located such as looking at the sea or hearing the waves in the evening during a lunch or a dinner is a great experience.
Highly recommend!
Note: do not follow maps to reach the place, go directly to the far end of the road after the archeological site towards the port (not towards the red beach), and follow the edge of the “beach” on the right, passing 2 others restaurants.
Hard to get to, with about a million steps from the road but well worth the effort. Food and Service were very good.
With an online rezervation we had a wonderfull experiențe. Authentic taste, unic meals, great wine.
Food was amazing, we chose the fresh fish fillet and viewed the fish before it was cooked. Vegetables fresh and from their own farm.The staff were helpful and friendly. Family oriented. We parked at the Akrotiri museum, viewed the site and ate there in the early evening.
Very very Good restaurant !!!!
Good moment and service excellent
Ristorante tipico greco con vista sulla baia. Cibo ottimo.

I strongly recommend !!!! Santorini forever
Everything was good . Personal , food, site , price . It was a recommendation from my brother , and if I’ll come back to Santorini i’ ll repeat . Congrats !!
Nos encantó la comida. Limpio muy a cogedor. La comida súper buena platos grandes. Si volviera seguro que volvería a ir y no es por quedar bien. Os lo recomiendo, no os arrepentiréis. Al lado de la playa
The restaurant has been suggested by locla people and fully met our expectations. Great food and drink and warm welcome
Beautiful ambientation and beautiful restaurant. The food is also very very good and the pricing reasonably low. The waiters, as Nicola, are very warm and kind.
5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Lovely restaurant next to the sea. Sea food platter for two persons was wonderful and we had good wine to go with it. We had a very friendly waiter who made our night unforgettable.
Just wow!
we arrived in Santorini and was able to make a last minute reservation. The staff was amazing, because they were able to push together our table with our friends and make it one big event! The food was incredible and we loved every minute! A great way to start our trip! Loved picking out our fresh caught fish!
Slightly off the beaten track but great location on the waterfront with a heavily seafood menu. Very busy with lots of locals in which is always a good sign!
Eating practically on the water with live music (traditional Greek) and kind but informal service was a wonderful experience. The prices are also honest.
I'll be back
Superbe vue, endroit authentique, c était délicieux et le personnel est adorable! Je recommande
Real Good fresh fish. Fast and nice service. By the sea side. Prices on average high as throughout the island.
Ambiente perfetto, buon cibo, buona accoglienza!
Sabato sera musica dal vivo.
Lovely tavern that made the trip down to Akrotiri worthwhile as it was only a short short walk from the archeological site. The house wine and food were excellent, especially their tomato/fish balls that per their menu, they are #1 in the area! The view of the sea is also gorgeous and it was a comfortable stay.
le charme de l'endroit a opéré et sommes venus deux fois pour un séjour de 3 nuits à Akrotiri et que dire du coucher de soleil, puis lune rousse !!!! le bon vin aidant aussi !
Such a great place to watch the sunset with a delicious meal. The staff were so kind and offered to take photos and served the food fresh on our table. They checked for satisfaction after every course and I highly recommend Le Moustache for everyone. Great experience and food was wonderful!
Taverna tipica di Santorini. Pesce freschissimo. Tavolo sul mare
We stayed for both lunch and dinner.
Fast and professional service, excellent food in front of the sea, we highly recommend it! Best to book
Une vue superbe , table au bord de l’eau , le repas était divin, on nous a même offert un petit sorbet glace en dessert. Le meilleur restau qu’on a fait .
It's a very good restaurant , with good food'
I recommandé this place.
Η σπηλιά του Νικόλα τίμια προσιτή με το παλιό καλό στυλ το παραδοσιακό μπράβο στο μήνα και στη σύζυγό με 4 παιδιά μας πέρασα με γλυκάκια μαστίχα συγκλονιστική του κυρίου Βλάσση που γνώρισα προσωπικά στο καταστημα
Restaurant au bord des vagues, accueil souriant et amical, excellent dîner langouste et produits frais, cuisine locale, et désert offert en musique par le patron. Très gentille attention pour fêter mes 60ans.
The service, food and sunset was divine. If you decide to go, you'll not regret it!
Such a great place I highly recommend everyone to come here!!! We will be back.
words cannot explain how good this restaurant is! we found it online via e-restaurants.gr and read all the reviews!
just amazing!
Enjoyed our meal here on our first night in Santorini. The views with the water right next to us were beautiful. Service was good and quick too. Thank you!
Great spot

Wow! All I can say is WOW! This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food was incredibly delicious! The view is soothing and beautiful! The service was excellent! Definitely recommend.
We had a great experience at Nikolas. The view close to the water are amazing and the food is even better. Great service and nice ambiance. Highly recommend for local sea food.
Rustic setting and unique location. our table was right at the edge of the sea. the food was amazing and the service excellent. Defenitely worth the experience
Thanks for everything, it was really nice foods and local wine that we tasted
One of our favorite restaurant experiences. Recommended to us by a local and it did not disappoint. Try the cod fish tomatoe fritters, simply awesome. My daughter had the lobster pasta and got an entire lobster. Five stars!
Best food, best service, best people, best chef
Great restaurant
Eating delicious seafood next to the sea was awesome!!
Location meravigliosa, tavoli a ridosso del mare. L'interno è molto caratteristico, cassette con le verdure a vista, selezione di vini, tutto dentro una "cave" ex deposito di barche. Il personale è estremamente cordiale, parlando benissimo diverse lingue, tra queste anche l'italiano. I piatti sono essenza della ottima cucina greca, ci siamo trovati talmente bene che siamo andati tre volte a mangiare perché c'è da provare qualsiasi cosa del menù, è tutto buono ed abbondante. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è eccellente. Tra migliori, se non il migliore, ristorante greco di Santorini
Posto incantevole, con terrazza diretta sulla riva del mare. Personale cordiale e disponibile, ma soprattutto , ci hanno consigliato in maniera spassionata cosa prendere , consigliando quantità e proponendo anche qualche fuori menù.
Prodotti di prima scelta , dal pesce fresco agli ortaggi di propria produzione. Veramente un'ottima sorpresa in un'isola alle volte troppo commerciale.
Complimenti ci rivedremo!
highly recommended, nice views, good food and good service
I Fully recommend
We have the change of coming without any reservation and meet the owner who gave us the best table that was free just in time.
Amazing view and very romantic ambiance.
Πολύ καλές παραδοσιακές γεύσεις. Άψογη εξυπηρέτηση. Ήσυχο περιβάλλον.
Wonderful service and fantastic food. Despite the place was fully booked they succeede in providing us a table next to the sea!
Abbiamo cenato in questo bellissimo posto sul mare ad Akrotiri, cibo buono e abbondante e prezzo più che onesto. 60€ in due per una grigliata di pesce enorme che poteva essere mangiata da almeno 3 persone.
Staff gentile, premuroso e soprattutto sorridente.
Ci ritornerei
Food and location and service, everything was fantastic
.
We stayed in this beautiful seaside location for a dinner between couples, it was a really pleasant experience, the food was of excellent quality, the friendly and helpful staff makes you feel comfortable in this family environment. Excellent value for money.
Είναι ένα εστιατόριο με πολύ ωραία θέα....το προσωπικό φιλικό και ευχάριστο..τα πιάτα σε μεγάλη ποσότητα και ποιοτικά
Lovely meal in a lovely spot with lovely hosts
All was perfect: nice people, stunning place, great food.
Excellent food and ambience
Best outdoor restaurant away from all the busy tourist spots. Incredible food & service!
We found this place purely by seeing posts on Instagram and decided to try it. I made a reservation online for lunchtime. We had to walk past a couple of other restaurants before we got to this place (which we noticed were virtually empty - Cave of Nikolas was busy - I think that speaks volumes!) They couldn’t find my reservation but happily sat us down at a table. We were recommended the red snapper and were taken to choose our own. Food was fabulous. Staff were very friendly. Would love to visit again, maybe for dinner in the evening next time. 10/10
We had one of our best meals here, great ambience right by the sea and we had the kilo of fish and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend going!
Perfect place with amazing food and the superhospitality of their workers. Perfect quality/price (much cheaper than other places on the isle). Food superlative... (without doubt, more tasty than other restaurants)
This restaurant is incredible we came here twice during our ten day stay recently in Santorini! Every dish we had was delicious and the view is beautiful! The staff was very nice and attentive! I hope we get to come back some day!
Delicious authentic Greek dishes and desserts. Service was friendly and they helped explain some of the dishes for us.
What a beautiful setting to enjoy a great meal while looking out at the water. The service was so warm, friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!
The staffs are very friendly. There is a beautiful sea view. The food tastes very good. The portion is quite big. However, I would suggest to reduce the portion with adjusted price. In this way, it is such better for solo traveller who would like to try more dishes with smaller size like tapas.
A wonderful location, the staff makes you feel at home with friends right from the start. The dinner was made with dedication and passion for fresh products.
Ristorante proprio sul mare, abbiamo mangiato molto bene
Increíble lugar, recomiendo el vino de la casa fresquito y a un precio coherente.
This is a MUST! We thought everything was so amazing
Le personnel etait super, l'emplacement magnifique et la nourriture excellente.
My girlfriend had the seafood risotto and I had filets of fish with vegetables. It was nice but I have had better. The eggplant dip and bread was amazing. House white wine very good. The atmosphere and staff were always smiling and funny. I would love to go back and try some other variety of food because the menu selection was very good.
Minas, the owner, is a very pleasant person, who treat you as he would treat an old friend. all of his staff is kind
the most delicious greek food eaten in Santorini
Nice fresh fish
Traditional greek cuisine at good way. Very good
This place gets 5 stars all around!
The service, the food and especially the location. Situated in an old fishing village it is so quaint and beautiful. The appetizers are all fabulous and the grilled fish was perfect! This is not your typical tourist trap. It is authentic and enjoyable.
Can’t wait to go back again!
Excelente comida, ubicación y trato.
Producto local muy fresco.
Atención inmejorable.
we loved the meze platter. it was santorini in.a plate. the fish tomato balls are the best you can get in the whole of santorini.
shame a lot of other food on the menu not available when we were there.
A family Restaurant with a nice terrace near to the sea, very romantic and with a very good food (we tasted fish plates). Also the house wine,
both, rosé and white are to try. Price is not too high especially for Santorini. (2 persone 60€)
Homemade food made with fresh products.
Very nice people.
Πολύ ωραίο μερος διπλα στη θαλασσα!!!
We really enjoyed our visit to the restaurant. The staff were really friendly and showed us the fresh fish available. The prices are very reasonable. We went for the seafood platter which cost €65 and was well worth the money! We would recommend a visit, even through you don’t see the sunset, there is a nice view.
Εξαιρετικό μέρος, υπέροχοι άνθρωποι και το φαγητό απαιχτο. Ήταν όλα πεντανόστιμα,μεγάλες μερίδες πολύ καλές τιμές. Άξιζε και με το παραπάνω!!
On Saturday, June 11, we had dinner at this restaurant. Everything was wonderful and delicious! Do not miss the fava and the lobster. The staff is very polite and helpful! Everything was excellent!
All cas very good
Ottima cucina
At the totally opposite end of Santorini away from the crowds in Oia this bay in Akrotiri was recommended by friends. Well worth a visit as it’s right by the sea. Very friendly and very accommodating staff made suggestions and explained the menu. We had the Tomato fish balls with Greek salad and both opted for grilled fish and veg. The food was very good and their local white wine very nice indeed. Service with a smile!
Lives up to it's reputation
The food and view were both 10/10. Seafood was fresh and portion was really generous as well. Be sure to make a reservation though.
This is a little gem of a place. Truly authentic home cooked food. The fish was superb
Εξαιρετικό μαγαζί και τέλειο φαγητό! Φρέσκα ψάρια , δικά τους κρέατα όλα πεντανόστιμα! Πρέπει να το επισκεφτείτε οπωσδήποτε !!
Ψάχναμε για ένα παραδοσιακό εστιατόριο στο Ακρωτήρι στην Σαντορίνη και μας μίλησαν για την Σπηλιά του Νικόλα...ευτυχώς..η καλύτερη εμπειρία μέχρι τώρα στο νησί !! Δοκιμάστε οπωσδήποτε την ντόπια σκορδομακαρονάδα !!
