The Restaurant

In the prelude to Santorini’s global acclaim, Oia exuded tranquility, its population a mere 306 souls nestled by the caldera’s edge. In 1971, amidst this picturesque backdrop, Lauda, Oia’s inaugural dining haven, emerged, steeped in tradition and adorned with the village’s sole communication link. Today, Lauda Restaurant remains devoted to preserving the essence of its historic roots, inviting its valued guests to embark on a romantic voyage of breathtaking vistas and unparalleled flavors.

We kindly remind our esteemed guests that both indoor and outdoor dining areas are smoke-free and that children under 13 and pets cannot be accommodated at the Lauda experience. Opening April 2026.
