Meals at ΑΙΩΝ: Chef Iosif’s Aegean Table

Dining at AION is a choice between à-la-carte menus — ideal for couples and small groups — and pre-booked meal packages created by Chef Iosif, owner of Lomvranos Restaurant in Fira. Every dietary and religious preference is accommodated, white table and chair cloths are included, and menus with meal pricing are shared when you enquire.

Who cooks for your evening?

The meal packages at ΑΙΩΝ are put together by Chef Iosif, owner of Lomvranos Restaurant — a Fira restaurant that has been part of Santorini’s story for many years, serving the traditional Greek tastes the island is loved for. We partnered with him for a simple reason: when your table sits on the caldera side of Fira, the food on it should come from the same place the view does.

That means the gastronomy of the Aegean and local products, prepared for your table alone. One kitchen, one chef’s hand, one terrace — not hotel banqueting scaled down, but a restaurant family and a venue family working the same evening together.

À la carte or a pre-booked meal package?

There are two ways to eat at ΑΙΩΝ, and choosing between them is mostly a question of group size and nerves.

À la carte suits couples and small groups. You sit, the sun starts its descent, and you order from the menu the way you would at a good Greek table — no commitments made months ahead, no catering minimums. Outside catering can cost more than couples expect; ordering à la carte on the night keeps the evening simple and the bill honest.

Pre-booked meal packages suit wedding receptions, proposal dinners with family, and anyone who wants nothing left to decide on the day. You choose the menu with us in advance — usually alongside the drinks packages — and when the evening comes, everything simply arrives. Our staff run the service so that the only thing on your mind is the person across the table.

Can you cook for dietary and religious preferences?

Yes — all of them. Chef Iosif builds the packages for every type of meal preference, and we have served tables shaped by allergies, vegetarian and vegan requests, and religious eating requirements of several traditions. Tell us what your table needs when you enquire and the menu is written around it, not squeezed to fit it. Nobody at ΑΙΩΝ eats a compromise version of dinner.

What comes with the table itself?

White cloths for tables and chairs are included with our packages — the terrace is dressed before you arrive. The setting is the one you see across this site: one long table for receptions and family dinners, or a table for two at the terrace edge for private dinners. Venue time, staff and the music system come with your venue rental package; the meal is chosen separately, so you only pay for the dinner you actually want.

The menu itself

This is Chef Iosif’s kitchen at Lomvranos, dish for dish. Your evening is built from it — à la carte on the night, or agreed in advance as a set menu for the table. Prices move with the season and with what the island’s producers bring in, so they are quoted for your date rather than printed here.

How do we see the meal prices?

Ask us. The dishes are above; what moves is the price against them, with the season and with the island’s producers, so we would rather quote your date than leave stale numbers here. Write with your date, your group size and any preferences, and we reply with the set-menu options and exact per-person pricing. Consultation costs nothing, as of 2026 and always.
