"Doris Dimou's wellness-minded Greek kitchen pairs grilled octopus with the best caldera sunset on the island — book it for a celebration dinner."
About Throubi
A cliff-edge terrace, a sunset over the volcano, and a Greek kitchen that cooks lighter than most of its neighbours. Throubi is the restaurant of the Andronis Concept Wellness Resort in Imerovigli, opened in 2018 on the footpath that links Fira and Oia. Head chef Doris Dimou builds a Greek Mediterranean menu around small island producers, and grilled octopus is the dish regulars come back for. It is one of the caldera-view tables we point team and celebration dinners toward in our Santorini dining guide, and it sits among the island's better seafood restaurants.
The Kitchen
Head chef Doris Dimou runs Throubi on a wellness brief that suits the resort it belongs to: vegetable-forward plates, olive oil over butter, and ingredients pulled from small Santorini and mainland producers rather than a broadline supplier. The grilled octopus is the signature, charred and tender over a Greek base, and the seared beef fillet is the heaviest thing on a deliberately light card. House pastas and seasonal mezze fill out a menu that changes with what the growers send. Dinner runs around €30 a head for the food before drinks, which is restrained for a luxury-resort restaurant on this island; wine is where the cost rises, because Santorini's volcanic Assyrtiko vineyards yield little and bottles are dear everywhere on the caldera. Throubi opened in 2018 as part of the Andronis Concept Wellness Resort and has built its reputation on honest Greek cooking with a view, rather than on tweezered fine dining. The menu reads short, the produce is the point, and the sunset does the rest.
The Room
The setting is the headline: an open terrace cut into the Imerovigli cliff, tables ranged along a low wall that drops straight to the caldera and the volcano beyond. Whitewashed stone, pale linen and minimal decor keep the eye on the water. It is quiet and unhurried, the sound level low enough for conversation, and the lighting fades with the sky as service runs from early evening into night. Tables are spaced for privacy, dress is smart-casual resort, and the seats facing the sunset are the ones to ask for. Lunch, from 1 to 4pm, has the same view in daylight.
Best for a Celebration Dinner
Throubi earns a celebration or team dinner for three reasons: the caldera-edge terrace is the kind of view that makes a night feel like an occasion, the lighter Greek menu keeps a long table comfortable rather than overstuffed, and the early-evening timing lands the group right in the sunset. A typical scene: a table along the wall as the sky turns, grilled octopus and Assyrtiko going round, the volcano going dark across the water. It also makes a fine anniversary dinner for two who want the view without a tasting-menu marathon.
Not for
Not for budget travellers or anyone after a quick taverna meal: this is resort fine dining, the wine list runs steep, and the caldera-facing tables get claimed by hotel guests first.
Frequently Asked
Is Throubi worth it?
Yes, if you want a caldera-view dinner with cooking that is lighter than most Santorini fine dining. Throubi is the restaurant of the Andronis Concept Wellness Resort in Imerovigli, where chef Doris Dimou builds a Greek Mediterranean menu around local producers, with grilled octopus and seared beef fillet among the standouts. The sunset over the caldera is the draw as much as the food. Compare it with Lauda for a more formal night.
How much does dinner at Throubi cost?
Dinner runs around €30 per person for the food before drinks, ordering a la carte from the Greek Mediterranean menu. Wine is where the bill climbs, since Santorini's volcanic vineyards make bottles expensive across the island. Reserve a caldera-facing table at sunset and plan on more once a bottle of Assyrtiko is added.
Where is Throubi in Santorini?
Throubi sits inside the Andronis Concept Wellness Resort in Imerovigli, on the cliff-edge footpath that links Fira and Oia. The terrace looks straight across the caldera toward the volcano, which makes the early-evening and sunset seatings the ones to request. It is a short taxi or a scenic walk from Fira. See more options in our Santorini guide.
What should I order at Throubi?
Start with the grilled octopus, a signature here, then the seared beef fillet or one of the house pastas. The kitchen leans on small Greek producers and a wellness-minded, vegetable-forward style, so ask the staff what came in that day. Pair it with a glass of Santorini Assyrtiko rather than a full bottle if you want to keep the bill in check.
Do you need a reservation at Throubi?
Yes for dinner, especially a caldera-view table at sunset, which hotel guests claim first. Book directly with the restaurant by phone or through its reservation page a few days ahead in high season. Lunch, served from 1 to 4pm, is the easier seat and still carries the same view.
