Catch Bar Restaurant

On an island where traditional tavernas and white-tableclothed restaurants reign supreme, Catch is an anomaly, with a sleek, stylish interior and serving beautifully plated, innovative dishes. The stunning, open-air dining room is accented by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. Tables are centered around the bar, above which hangs a white, nest-like light fixture. The rooftop alcove is the best spot for sunset dining thanks to the stunning panoramic views it offers. The cuisine is Mediterranean fusion, and includes traditional dishes with surprising twists—Catch’s take on spinach pie comes deconstructed (spinach mousse, feta foam) and served in a mason jar. Other menu items might include octopus with fava beans, scallops with saffron and beetroot marshmallows, red mullet risotto and the particularly delicious “pastichio,” a lasagna-like dish of beef ragout, San Michali cheese and allspice. The setting feels more Miami than Greek Isle, and despite having a somewhat obscure location in Oia town, the restaurant provides an oasis from the bustling streets.
