4.7 / 5.0(4,531 reviews)

Outstanding service, amazing environment and excellent food! Also, very reasonable prices. The location might seem a bit off, but despite the absence of an ocean view, Pelican Kipos really surprised us in every way possible. Service was impeccable from beginning to end, and the attention to detail by the staff was incredible. From immediately fixing our wobbly table the moment we sat down to quickly taking our order and coming back to make sure everything was fine. It was noticeable the staff is well trained to provide a great experience. We ordered from the breakfast menu and the food was delicious. Fresh, tasty and a good sized portion. Lastly, the environment is very calm and relaxing, as the tables are distributed unders some trees and there are a lot of plants everywhere, offering plenty of shade and fresh air. There was even a bit of live music when we visited, with a musician playing the keyboard. Highly recommend Pelican Kipos. If you're in Santorini, make it a point to stop here and you won't be disappointed. While exploring Santorini with my wife, ( actually trying to get away from the Tourists, people like us ) we found this amazing looking restaurant, Pelican Kipos. The look of the restaurant from the outside alone is enough to draw you in. Absolutely stunning curb appeal. We were kind of done with the sun and although the outside patio is stunning, we asked to be seated inside which was perfect for us. The interior is just as stunning !! We just wanted a light lunch and of course a glass of wine. My wife had the Greek salad and I ordered the fruit salad with honey and a glass of wine. I can’t say enough about the Greek honey, simply amazing. The flavour just pops. All the staff was so friendly and accommodating to a couple of weary travellers. And the food and the wine was perfect. Just when we thought we were done, they brought us a complementary desert, 2 perfectly sized Greek yogurts with honey and to say they were amazing would be an understatement!! Wonderful location and a great atmosphere. If you’re ever in Santorini, don’t let this little gem slip under your radar. Paul and Andrea Canada 🇨🇦 We hosted our wedding reception for 27 guests at Pelican Kipos in September 2024. Our vision was for the evening to feel like an intimate family dinner and Pelican went far beyond that. It became the true highlight of our wedding and something we will remember for the rest of our lives. We began planning a year in advance with the incredible support of Eleftheria, who managed every detail with care and precision. When we visited the restaurant the day before, we were stunned by its beauty, originality, and charm. Exploring the underground wine caves was an unforgettable surprise that added even more magic to the experience. On the night of our reception, the wonderful sommelier Maria embraced us like family. Having lost my parents a few years ago, I hadn’t realized how much I needed that warmth in this day; she touched not only me, but every one of our guests, all on her day off. Her presence was a gift we’ll never forget. The entire staff went above and beyond, adding thoughtful touches throughout the evening—even making our cake cutting a special moment we’ll always treasure. While our ceremony took place at Rocabella (with photography by Phosart), we chose to hold our reception at Pelican Kipos, and it was the best decision we could have made. Rocabella felt formal and rigid, while Pelican Kipos was alive with warmth, beauty, and soul. Meeting the restaurant owner and hearing the story of the garden’s creation was the perfect finishing touch. Pelican Kipos is a true paradise, and we cannot recommend it highly enough for an intimate and unforgettable celebration. We’re already dreaming of the day we return.
