About
In a completely renewed location at the center of Fira Town and décor, The Selene Restaurant colors offer unique, refined, and deep shades that are available with elegance and naturalness. These subtle and timeless colors allow the restaurant to combine the highest levels of delicacy and sobriety. A setting with Santorinian vibes and style all over the various restaurant, where the atmosphere becomes cozy and warm for guests of all ages. Thanks to this architecture, you will be able to enjoy a privileged moment to discover a subtle and deliberately inventive cuisine around iconic signature dishes, made by famous chefs, seasonal, always fresh, and carefully selected products from our partners, alternating surprises and inspirations of the moment.
Our winegrower friends are not left out. A wine thematic tasting list, curated by a well-known experienced sommelier, has been set to explore Greek and international wine privately for our guests. Choosing the right type of wine is not as simple as it seems. An exciting selection made by wine lovers, so that our customers take the maximum pleasure.

We are fans of chef Botrini (as evident from rating his Athens restaurant with 5/5). The Santorini restaurant's ambience is wonderful. There is attention to detail and the overall feeling is high end. That said, I highly regret dinner for 2 at Selene: it costed almost as much as a pair of Louboutin heels, minus the joy of owning and wearing them. Upon arrival we discovered the menus were not the ones displaying online but instead just a choice between a 3-course a la carte (of sorts), at 125 euro per person, and a bigger tasting menu at 210 euro (!) per person. We went for the "cheap" option. Each course featured 3 choices, expect 1 of the 3 was not available (and not substituted for) at the firsts section - completely unacceptable. The food was good (and very good looking) but not exquisite - there was a sense of "good enough for tourists" about it. The service was friendly but overly aggressive. Wine glasses were refilled after every couple of sips and we basically finished our bottle before the main course arrived. Subsequent suggestions were in the neighbourhood of 45 per glass (we succumbed). Despite ordering the "economy" menu we managed a 520 euro bill (prior to the tip) for 2. We take no issue with the amount per se, but when one negotiates at this price point one expects a certain level of satisfaction. This was nowhere near value for money. Crucially, immediately after the five hundred+ euro dinner we went for drinks and ordered mini burgers and grilled prawns too - we were still hungry. Not coming back.
The dinner at Selene was chilled and pleasant sitting in the Garden area on warm Greek summer evening. There were a couple of hiccups of the evening but the staff was wiling to improve their service and food was delicious but the portion of the pre-dinner dishes could be slightly smaller and in general we enjoyed the experience. When the higher management learnt about our initial experience of the evening at Selene did not succeed our expectations, they were very willing to work out the way to improve our experience and make the effect to make up for us. All in all, I recommend visitors to visit the beautiful building and enjoy their hospitality.
VERY luxurious, in an old-school luxury kind of way, with white tablecloths and proper service. Not trying to be hip or edgy and it works for them. Beautiful space, great food and wines, good service. You get what you pay for though; it is very expensive.
