Santorini boasts a dramatic landscape that compares to none other. It is a Mecca for couples and newlyweds, that is distinguished for its imposing Caldera views, breathtaking sunsets, luxurious, cave-like hotels, and white-washed buildings. The island's Mediterranean beauty immediately puts you in a mood for vacations and authentic Greek cuisine.

Santorini's rich volcanic soil nurtures the local agricultural products with a unique taste that truly greatly deficiencies from the taste that you are used to. Lots of vegetables grow in abundance on the island including fava, white aubergines, capers, and cherry tomatoes. At the same time, Santorini is also known as a "wine island" so wine lovers cheer as many grape varieties grow there like Assyrtiko, Athiri, Aidani, Mavrotragano, Nykteri, and Vinsanto.

So, it's crystal clear that the food experience of Santorini is food and diverse. When it comes to gourmet cuisine, whatsoever, there are very few restaurants that stand out, and one of them is La Colline Restaurant, also known as the only restaurant on the island serving gourmet French cuisine. Let's find out what makes this restaurant so special.


 

A Chef is the kitchen's heart!

Before we head to explore La Colline Moscow-Santorini's menu and atmosphere, we must first meet the restaurant's chef, or as we call him, the heart of the kitchen. La Colline Restaurant Moscow-Santorini is curated by the super-talented chef Jerome Coustillas. His 30+ experience in the culinary industry is reflected in the menu’s fine balance between flavor, texture, and aroma.

Jerome has worked at some of the finest restaurants and hotels all over the world and worked with some of the biggest names in gastronomy. The first La Colline Restaurant opened at Moscow in 2006, and 8 years later La Colline Restaurant expanded in Santorini. Jerome began his quest in Santorini in 2014, and since then he provides high-quality dishes to his guest with dishes that satisfy all five senses. Let's discover the flavors that you will enjoy at La Colline Restaurant Moscow-Santorini!
