Metaxi Mas
Μεταξύ Μας
A Cretan and Santorinian restaurant in Exo Gonia village, rated by multiple guides as the best on the island, with fair prices.
Located next to the Agios Charalambos Church in Exo Gonia village, the restaurant's name means "between us." It specializes in Cretan and Santorinian flavors, and multiple guides call it a local favorite free from the caldera-view premium. Signatures include fava, baked white eggplant, beef fillet in Vinsanto sauce, and seafood casserole, with large portions suitable for sharing. The average cost is about €20 to €40 per person. The seating faces east toward Anafi Island rather than the caldera. Be sure to call ahead to reserve, and driving is recommended; park near the church and walk down.
