Santorini Greek Taverna
For over twenty years, Santorini Greek Taverna has represented the best in Calgary’s Greek cuisine.
Santorini was founded on the Greek values of filoxenia; literally the notion of befriending strangers. Thus, as all guests to Santorini quickly realize, they are immediately made part of the family, whether laughing with host Maria’s comedic personality or joining in on an uplifting Greek dance.
While other Greek restaurants have attempted to reinvent a good thing, Santorini continues to offer the classic, authentic tastes of Greece in a welcoming, Mediterranean setting.
With over 40 Greek dishes, it promises an unforgettable experience.
At Santorini, every day is a celebration!

"We visited Santorini Greek Taverna on a Wednesday evening and for much of the meal had the restaurant to ourselves. The service was superb and the food was fabulous. We have dined there before and always enjoyed it, but this meal was outstanding. We had the combination for two and enjoyed every part of it. My wife insisted on ordering an appetizer because she had not had lunch. The pitas and hummus were excellent, but unnecessary because the combination plate was so large."

"We love this restaurant and ordering the Greek Feast. There were 4 of us and we all ordered this. This is at least 5 courses and they provide plenty of food and the food is delicious. On the night we were there they gave us the choice of roast pig or roast lamb for the main course. We couldn't decide so they offered to give us a taste of each.
We were able to have a very leisurely meal and did not feel rushed to leave. The servers are always friendly and the atmosphere is lively and fun.
We were there for an anniversary and I had asked for some special dessert and they provided some small bites of 2 different desserts, both very good and just enough to finish off a great meal.
We always recommend this place to everyone."

"Our small party of three unanimously agreed that all aspects of our late lunch at Santorini last Saturday were SUPERB! Each dish was tasty and arrived promptly. Hot items were hot, and salads were fresh and crisp. The baklava X3 servings was delicious. Service was very good with Napoleon graciously attending to our needs. The atmosphere was authentically Greek. THANK YOU!!! We hope to be back soon!!!"

"I've been a repeat customer for more than 10 years and I have never been disappointed. There isn't a single other Greek restaurant in Calgary, that comes even close to the authenticity of Greek food served at Santorini. Having lived in Athens for a few years, I know Greek food. The service, ambiance and friendliness of staff is impeccable. If you want to eat great Greek food at reasonable prices in a friendly atmosphere, Santorini is a must.
This is the first time I used open table option, I usually phone in to reserve."

"Enjoyed our dinner. The waiter was very good in making food suggestions. The food was very tasty and the dinner platter for two was perfect for us.The house red wine is the only red wine which can be ordered by the glass; unfortunately it is not very good. All the other guests were enjoying their wine from a bottle and we sure wished we would have done the same!"

"Arrived early for our reservation, although it was busy we only waited a few minutes and were shown to our table. Food was excellent. Had the lamb, was the best I 've tasted in Calgary. Portions were sufficient. Didn't have to wait long for the food and the service was outstanding. Would recommend this restaurant."

"We both ordered roast lamb and although we both thought it was good, mine was much more dry than my husband's dish. I would consider going back again as it was Valentine's and they were extremely busy. We have had better Greek food but in Kelowna. My husband, even though his was better than mine is not sure whether he's anxious to go back again just because it doesn't compare to our experience at the Kelowna Greek restaurant which is always fabulous. This is why we gave the rating we did. Good but not fantastic!"

"I was here for Valentines day. We ordered the Santoroni special. It was several courses of great appetizer like items, followed by roast lamb. I really enjoyed all the courses and ate well beyond my full point to enjoy the roast lamb. One critique I have, would be with our wine. We went with the house white and both weren't all that impressed. It was somewhat bland, tasting almost watered down. Overall this was a good experiences and I will go back to this restaurant."

"FANTASTIC food and terrific service! This is definitely my favourite Open Table pick so far. Try the Taverna Special - you can sample many of their amazing dishes, delivered consistently throughout your visit. I would absolutely recommend Santorini to anyone within earshot!"

"We had a lovely meal here. I found the service to be a bit slow, especially with taking our order. The food was wonderful. The clamari was super light and crisp. The lamb souvlaki was also good. There could have been a little less butter on the veggies. They were a bit overdone and greasy. Dessert was great."
