This summer, a gustatory bridge has linked the inner Athens district Pagrati with Santorini, its business name an English-language exclamation of joy and excitement, Ohh Boy.

12

The venture, situated directly above the old port in Fira, the island’s capital, and the cable car terminal, has already made its presence felt on the island’s gastronomic map. An all-day spot for coffee, treats and small eats, it has carved out a new gastronomic style in recent years.

The days at the all-white setting of Santorini’s Ohh Boy begin with an endless Aegean blue view and a range of comfort and health-food choices, included on the menu based on various taste preferences of customers as well as the spot’s willingness to offer balanced eating without depriving gustatory pleasure. Breakfast menu items range from porridge prepared with oat milk, cinnamon, homemade granola and maple syrup to sweet, protein-rich pancakes with walnuts, almond butter, organic eggs and linseed. The wider offering continues with brunch choices. They are egg-based, offering fulfilling meals and a further taste dimension, while also utilising local produce.
