Restaurant Argo- Fira, Santorini
Restaurant Argo is situated on the port side of Fira with a view of the cruise ships and the caldera below. It has a beautiful location and the food was excellent. We tried the olives, greek salad and bean spread. The beans were a little plain, but all in all an excellent meal. Would definitely recommend this one in Fira.

Sunset- Santorini, Greece
In September, my husband and I took a second honeymoon. In Greece, the next few posts will treat restaurants from that trip.
Sunset Fish Tavern
Ammoudi-Santorini
So when we made reservations at Sunset, which was recommended online, we thought that we were getting reservations at a restaurant and one end of Oia, a great sunset spot in Santorini. Turns out that Sunset fish tavern is not that Sunset. It is a restaurant in the port of Ammoudi, which we found out is a long, long walk from the edge of Oia, down many, many stairs. That said the restaurant was certainly an experience.
Sunset sits on the edge of the water, which was literally about 1-2 feet away from where we were sitting. It was quite nice to hear the waves lapping up against the spot where we were sitting. The restaurant is; however, situated to low on the island to really be an ideal sunset spot. This is a restaurant that specialized in fish, which is cooked in a simple preparation, but is extremely fresh. My husband had the squid in garlic, which was exquisite. I focused primarily on the appetizers, getting olives and greek salad. Both were good, but no better than anything else on the island. Given the walk to get down to the restaurant and the expense of the cab back, I would probably just eat in Oia next time. Basically, good plain fish, but nothing special.

Tastebud Adventures
Welcome to Tastebud Adventures. This blog will be dedicated to restaurant reviews, recipes, and discussion of food that is not only good...but different. This blog is written by my husband and myself, foodies from Columbus, OH.
We love good food, but more importantly we love food that is flavorful and strays from the beaten path. There are plenty of 3, 4, and 5 star restaurants that have great presentation and service, but food that strays little from the standard chicken, salmon, and beef tenderloin. This blog is not for them. This blog is for those who are willing to try that beef tenderloin in a curry sauce. Fois gras and caviar are out and peruvian fish soup is in.
Please join us on our adventures.
