1.Traditional ingredients with a modern twist
The vision has always been to exhibit the importance of tradition in a refined way in all aspects of your stay in Esperas Hotel. Incorporating traditional flavours in modern recipes in order to upgrade our guests’ experience, led to the structure of the carefully designed menu card. Ingredients like chloro cheese, cherry tomatoes, white aubergine, capers and local wine (which are true traditional products and tastes of Santorini) have wedded with modern savours presenting you dishes like Santorinian cherry tomato patties, the Trilogy of Greek Spreads or the Greek Tasting Platter (with fried kalamari, dolmadakia, octopus, tomato patties, Greek cheeses, fava, beetroot salad, tzatziki and eggplant salad).

Meat lovers will be delighted to hear that apart from the burgers, there are plenty of choices juicy steaks and fillets. Desserts like lemon tart or chocolate souffle will “cleanse your palate” the sweetest way.
3.The special tastes
The Grilled Shrimp starter dish, is not to be missed. It is seasoned with special Santorinian herbs, with our chef’s Mojito sauce. For the ultimate mediterranean flavor try the Sea Bass a la Papillote which is baked in rice paper with carrots, zucchini, celery & lemon sauce. The crispy fish, the sweet vegetables and the sharpness of the sauce are an unrivalled match. For the adventurous taste buds don’t miss the Sea Bream filleτ, served with tomatoes and capers in Asyrtiko wine sauce. As you can imagine the seafood selection is pure delight.

The Santorinian risotto is the traditional touch of this selection.
