YTSave YouTube SANTORINI Greek FOOD Tour Everything You Media IXhvBSnT7kA 001 1080p

Hey guys, Ali here. Welcome to the channel. In today's video I am in Santorini. Santorini is definitely one of the most beautiful islands I've ever stepped foot on. Everywhere you look there's something scenic, picturesque and just stunning. What I'm going to do in this video guys is show you all the must-eat dishes if you're visiting Santorini. Tons of seafood, veggie food, however I'm going to show you guys some meat-based options as well. So without further ado let's Okay so typical breakfast we're going to go into a bakery. There's some great stuff in there guys so let's go check it out. Also this place 24 hours which is awesome for those late night cravings. This is what I think we're going to get guys, a traditional spinach and cheese pie. There's not much to see here, I'm going to show you a few bits because I want to show you the traditional stuff. They've got like biscuits, they've got a croissant traslice, I think there's some Italian raritazzi, there's lots going on. So let's try this. So this is a fairly traditional thing to have in the morning, go to a bakery. There's tons in there but I always stick with the traditional stuff guys. The flavour is so rich, that's beautiful. We've got crispy pastry there, we've got lots of feta cheese and spinach in there, the flavour that comes through. Guys full disclosure, I don't like feta when I have it back in the UK. This is like a ton of feta going on but that is absolutely beautiful. That's like the poshest, fanciest cheese and onion pasty I've had in my life okay. I'm going to happily finish this off and then I'm going to show you guys some more food. Moving on now guys to slightly north from Fira, there's a town just a sort of walking distance really. We're going to check that out but that guys was one of the best pastries I've had in my whole life. Going up north now, we're going to come back to Fira for dinner because there's this really big sort of meaty restaurant, an amazing meat platter that I want to show off. It's going to blow you guys away but it's dinner so I'll do that at the end of the video. So let's crack on and head up north. So this restaurant here guys, been here before, really enjoy this restaurant. I think you guys are going to like it as well. I'm going to show you a really really cool platter. Let's go inside. Just sat down, we've ordered our food so don't think you can come to Santorini without trying some of the seafood. It's absolutely delicious but what they're going to do because they make it all fresh, the fish takes a little bit longer so the platter is going to come out first. I'm going to show you that first and then we'll go for the fish next. We've ordered a sea bass which to be fair I've been to this restaurant before but I haven't had the sea bass so looking forward to trying that. So we have got an amazing platter to show you. This is awesome. So this entire platter I believe is like 19 euros which is fantastic for Santorini. So if camera woman could just show you some of this stuff. So we've got fava here which is made with some yellow split peas, tzatziki which you know super famous greek food. Then we've got these, oh guys wait till I show these. These are awesome. We've got some fried cheese. I don't know what that is, it looks like a samosa. That I think is a taro masalata and then we've got some aubergines here. This is a great dish so let me try this for you guys now. Oh also a couple of pita breads as well. So you have to try tzatziki anywhere in Greece. We're in Santorini, Greek island so that's just got to be done. Flavour is so rich, it's so creamy. I don't like tzatziki in the UK at all, but here I have it every single day. Can't be missed. Moving on now to something which is actually unique to Santorini. This is a fava, it's made of yellow split peas. It's got quite a unique taste, it kind of tastes a cross between mushy peas, mashed potatoes and like dal. I'll show you some seafood in a second guys. It's such a unique flavour. Oh these are phenomenal. These right, they're called tomato balls and I don't like, again I hate tomatoes, but here they're sweet, they've got some onion there for some tang, some butter, some herbs going on. This is an awesome dish. I'm convinced if you fry anything it makes it nicer. This is one of the most hey-man dishes. This, I could have these every single day. They're crispy, they're fried, they've got that like fatty fried sort of taste to them, but delicious. You have to try tomato balls. They're in most restaurants in Santorini. I'll put the details of this restaurant in the description for you, but you gotta try this. It's unreal. Guys, I'm gonna finish this little platter and then we've got some seafood to show you. Then afterwards, like I promised you guys, I've got a really good meaty restaurant, like a massive meat platter which is fully halal, so stick around for that. But I'm gonna eat this and then we're gonna move on to the fish. I've seen an Indian-Thai fusion restaurant. I'm gonna try that after this because that just, that just sounds interesting and I'm curious to see the quality of like the curries on an island like Santorini. This is a sea bass. There's an entire sea bass going on here. They've got so much seafood. Last night, I had like a really, really good squid. That was delicious, but here they're having sea bass. Yeah, let's give this a go. On top, you'll see like a lemon-based sauce. We've got a little bit of rice here and then a lemon for some extra flavor, but because there's a lemon-based sauce, I don't really feel like I need that to be honest. Let's just break into this. Come on, just come down here. If you look at that, guys, look at that. Look at the amount of meat you get there. It's flaky, it's fresh. Let's try it. Do be careful with bones, guys. There's an entire sea bass here, but that, that is so soft, so tender, so succulent. The lemon works perfectly on that. If you're coming here, guys, make sure you get yourself some of the best fish you will ever try. Guys, that fish, that platter, so good. So, so, so good. But yeah, I'm going to do like a little diversion in this video. I wasn't going to cover this place, but it's Indian Thai. That's so interesting. I'm going to check it out. I'm going to go there now. So guys, this is like the main square, Phira. This is the restaurant I was telling you about, but next to it, they've got like a really cool place, like a creperie. This place has omelettes and breakfast stuff. You've got some more dessert stuff. You've got a Chinese place there. So I'm going to, however, try this place. So yeah, Thai Indian. Let's check it out. Let's take a look at the menu, guys. So Indian Thai restaurant, they've got Indian food, Thai food. What I'm going to do, guys, I'm going to go for one of my favourites, a classic chicken gulai. So that's what I'm going to see. If it's good, then it's a bit of a hidden gem. On this island of Santorini, I did not think I would find a Thai Indian place. So I'm going to place my order. I'm going to see how it is. And then we're going to crack on with like regular scheduling. And we're going to get some Santorini Greek food, but hopefully this is a good start. Okay. So, you know, you can't get me away from a good curry, guys. I do love a good curry in Santorini. I spotted this place. I thought I'm going to have to try it. But yeah, this is the chicken gulai. So if Camerawoman could just come down here as I burn my fingers on this golden plate. It looks all right. It looks decent. And then I got a naan as well. It's pretty big. This is half of it. And it looks good. It's freshly made. It looks fluffy. But let's keep it real. It's all about the curry. Let's try this. Let's go for the gravy. Let's try and get my gravy and a bit of chicken. As Mark Wiens would say, this is a one biter. Not bad. Not bad. This was in the UK. I would never come back. If you're on the island and you have a craving, I think this will probably satisfy that craving for a good curry. It's serviceable. It's perfectly serviceable. What I'm going to do, guys, I'm going to eat this now and then we're going to maybe get some ice cream and then go to this really, really cool restaurant in the evening. I think that'll be my last spot. But yeah, I think ice cream first. OK, so in these little lanes in Firo, there's two ice cream shops. Both look good. I think they've both got baklava ice cream. I don't know which one to go for. I'm just going to. It's this one that has the baklava. This is the one we're going for. I thought they both had it. I'm wrong. It's this one that has it. The flavours look so good. And they're actually both different. So it's hard to know which one to go for because I've got very different flavours. So I think we're going to go for the Greek baklava. Or a baklava for you connoisseurs out there. OK, so we're going to try this now in a little corner away from everyone. It tastes exactly how it sounds. Some ice cream, plain ice cream with a baklava inside. You know, you've got the honey, you've got the crunch from the pastry. This is just lovely. It's really refreshing. If we find some baklava, I'll try and slide it into this video. We're going to Oya tomorrow. I think we may find it there. If we do, I'll try and slide it in. What a dessert. That is refreshing, delicious. Let's move on. Guys, so just interjecting into the video quickly because the place I'm about to show you was decent. It was good, but I found a way, way better place. But I found it after I filmed that video. Let me just show it to you. So this is in like the main square. It's called Chillbox. I've been here a couple of times already, right? So you still get the frozen yoghurt, which is cool. And you actually get really, really nice iced coffee with ice cream. But that's what I'm getting today. But in terms of the frozen yoghurt, it's the same as the other place, right? However, look at all these toppings, guys. Lots of fresh fruit. Lots and lots and lots of fresh fruit. We've got churros, churros. That's so cool. And then tons of chocolate sauces. Also, this coffee, the affogato, lovely, absolutely lovely. And whilst we're here, why not? Just wanted to really quickly show you this place because the place in the video I just stumbled on. This place, however, I've had it post that video a few times. It's really good, guys. Chillbox in the centre of Beara Friar. Hey guys, so it's time to show off the place that I've been promising all video long. Let me just look around because I am on a road. So you can probably notice I've had a change of tops. I went back to the hotel, chilled out. They've got like a hot tub. So I wanted to use that, relax, refresh my batteries. I wanted to basically build up a bit of an appetite because the place I'm going to go now, the platters are big. There's a lot of food, hearty food, meaty food. So I wanted to make sure I was really, really hungry, but I think I'm close to it now. Let me show you. So it's just here, Stamina Garden Tavern. Let's check it out, guys. Okay, guys, so I know exactly what I'm getting. So here, I'm going to get the barbecue mixed grill halal plate, guys. So got a little bit of everything, really. They've got some chicken there at the front. They've got some swivlaki. They've got some lamb steak, lots going on. So yeah, looking to order that now. It's actually kind of nice in here. They've got lots of seating, lots and lots of seating. I came here yesterday, checked it out first before I showed it off to you guys. I know it's good. So I'm going to place my order. I cannot wait for the food to come out. Who has seen, guys, a Santorini sandwich? So I think that's some feta cheese. They've got these tomatoes, which I don't like tomatoes, but here they are beautiful. They are so good. They're toasted bread. Oh, I think that's complimentary because I did ask. Hopefully, the grilled stuff is coming out first, but this, guys, is a plentiful, large, big old sandwich. Guys, it's here. Guys, so underneath this mountain of food, we've got half a roast chicken. We've got some pita there. We've got some chicken skewers. We've got some... This, guys, looks burnt. It's not. Inside, it is so juicy, so juicy. We've got some... We've got some lamb there, which I'm going to tuck into. I just... Oh, guys, I cannot wait to show this all to you. Guys, this stuff looks awesome. I've just asked for some chili sauce as well, which I've tried here. Really, really good. I don't know what to go with first. Okay, let's start with... Do you know what? Let's start with the chicken skewer. Why not? I love you, Charlie. Guys, I love that barbecue tartar. I love that. There's so much to go through, so I'm going to speed through it. I have like... Oh, lovely, lovely. Thank you. As I was talking to you, the chili sauce is here. It's got like a mayo base. It's more like a chili mayonnaise, but really good. So I had this with Blacky yesterday, which looks burnt, right? But if I cut into it, you'll see that it's not. Juicy, tender, just sucking. I love the barbecue char on this. They nail it. Moving on. Got my knife and fork, but I don't really think I'll need it for a lot of this food. We're going to go with this. This, I think, is the lamb. This looks great, man. This looks... I'm definitely going to use my mouth on this one. No knife and fork here. The only place that we use the logistic lamb and the halal like this is over here. Oh, this looks and smells fantastic. For me, every day. I'm full of cholesterol. My wife... Just speaking to the owner, he's a lovely guy, just funny as well. But this is the OD halal lamb, apparently, on the actual island. That's made like this. That's kind of roasted and stuff. Do you know what I'm going to do, guys? Guys, if you're a meat fan, if you're a lamb fan, you are just going to love that. You are going to love that. I guarantee a strong, lamby flavour, good meat to fat ratio, a good amount of fat, adding a lot of flavour, tenderness too. But let's move on, man. Oh, we've got some more lamb under it too. It's just hidden under this mountain of food, chip in there as well. I'm going to dip it into this chilli sauce. Just about did it, but there's so much chilli sauce. This stuff really packs a kick. First things first, guys, chilli sauce. People say the food in Santorini is not spicy at all. They've obviously not tried this. This is super spicy, but the gyros, delicious. Quite hard to find halal here on the island, but this is certified, really, really good. I should say there's some salad on the side. There's some tzatziki there on the side to mellow that spice out as well. But let's go for, let's try, do you know what? Let's go for this half roast chicken next. Oh, it just falls apart in my hand. So as you can see there, guys, if I pick it up too much, it's going to fall apart because it's so soft, so moist and tender. The chicken breast, this fat has half, but you can obviously get a full one. There's so much meat going on here, guys. I'm going to enjoy this. I'm going to hand this, guys. I'm just going to hand this, guys. But they are not afraid of portion sizes here at all, man. Let's dip that into the chilli, why not? This is everything you want from chicken, man. It's flavourful, it's tender, moist, really moist. I'm going to enjoy the rest of this meal. I'm going to slide a few bits and bobs into this video. I'm back at this 24-hour bakery. This place is awesome. They've got a ruby chocolate little mini. It looks like a little Magnum and there's only one euro, ruby chocolate. And then we've got this, which is like ice cream filled and it's got like a baklava sort of casing to it. Is the camera picking this up? I really hope so. I really hope so because that looks awesome. I don't know what to go with first. One euro, one euro. That's so cheap. Hand on my heart. That's one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. It's like, imagine a baklava with ice cream in it, but the honey is not overpowering. It's crunchy. It's flaky. The ice cream is all homemade. Absolutely one euro. Guys, this is unmissable. Unmissable. 24 hours. I came here for breakfast. I've come here for dinner. That is one euro. I cannot believe that's a euro. I've been all over the world, but that one kind of blew me away. I've had baklava everywhere. That blew me away. That's so good. Homemade too, so. Right guys, I found a quiet little spot. There's so much wind on the island. That's why you might be hearing some car car on the mic there, but that does take us to the end of our Santorini food tour. If you're visiting the island, I hope I've given you guys some suggestions, some ideas on the must eat foods. And of course, everything I ate today was halal.
