We had planned the end of our Santorini journey with one of the best sunset views on the island: a table at Roka Santorini (reserved 1 month in advance) We read about it online but didn’t get into much detail….I’m happy of my ignorance because it lead to a series of pleasant surprises. First of all there is valet parking, which caught us off guard. Then we were seated, by a very polite hostess, at what could be described at one of the best tables in the entire restaurant, aside from the sun-beds by the infinity pool. This provides us with the perfect sunset experience (the reason why we came there) The waiter provides us with a couple or wet towels to clean our hands, handed us the menus and suggested we be served some water while we make up our minds. By the time she came back with the bottle or water we had already decided on the robata salmon teriakyi and my wife got the robata bream, both of them with a side order of steamed rice. The food came within 15 minutes or ordering but with the note that the plates would not be served at once, due to the time difference in the cooking process. Needless to say, both plates looked like they were prepared for royalty. The salmon was cooked to perfection, medium perfect I would say and the bream was tender and exquisitely filleted. Even the steamed rice was some of the best we ever had. After gorging down on our meals we decided to split a desert while the sun was still going down and got the dark chocolate matcha and ice cream which is essentially a lava cake with matcha filling. We couldn’t imagine that a desert containing matcha could be this delicious, but there you are. While the sun shined its last rays over Santorini, we asked for the check, told the valet to bring the car around and headed to the airport, ending our island experience in the best way possible.
