The food

Another reason why Le Ciel is the best destination wedding venue in Santorini is the food. Le Ciel is renowned as one of Santorini’s go-to restaurants, serving up creative and delicious menus to locals and visitors. Our expert team of chefs knows exactly how to create a menu that wows, blending Greek cuisine with continental techniques. We use only the freshet local ingredients – expect the best cheese from the Peloponnese, fish straight from the Aegean Sea and meat and olive oil from Crete. Of course, we like to make the most of the island’s amazing produce, using Santorini’s famous capers, cherry tomatoes, fava beans, rocket and white eggplants in our dishes. We can cater for all kinds of dietary requirements and will work with you to craft the dream wedding menu for you and your guests.
