En los años 1970, albergaba el legendario club Lagoudera (conocido también como Yachting Club) frecuentado por la jet-set de la época: Brigitte Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, Maria Callas u Onassis, quien normalmente celebraba aquí sus fiestas. Hoy es EL restaurante gourmet de Hidra. Le garantizamos que quedará prendado de este lugar mítico colgado de las rocas, sobre el mar, y de su cocina mediterránea creativa (pruebe el redondo con membrillo y ralladura de limón, por ejemplo). Excelente carta de vinos, solo griegos: botella de vino blanco a partir de 17 €; tinto, a partir de 22 €. Buena selección de cócteles porque los fines de semana, a partir de medianoche, la historia se repite: el lugar se (re)convierte en el lugar para pasarlo en grande… ¡Se puede celebrar una boda, un bautismo o lo que se desee! Además, apreciará unas vistas privilegiadas del mar con el agua translúcida que permite incluso distinguir los peces.
-The bad & slow service
-The extremely overpriced menu, for not very tasty plates
-The very small food portions
I wouldn't recommend it, sorry.
The positive:
What stands out is the atmosphere. You will likely find yourselves sitting right on top of the water, with a view towards the port entrance or towards the west. The service is friendly and attentive.
The constructive feedback:
The food is just ok. We liked the agreed salad and the Palamida (a cured fish) but we thought that overall there were TOO many thick sauces and too many ingredients. For example, the Palamida had several grasses on top of as well as a think mayo-like sauce. The Greek salad was dressed with a balsamic and olive oil mix which was thick and not runny at all. And the Grouper came with a very runny sauce, reminiscent of a French restaurant, not a Greek one.
Overall, if you plan to spend 100€ per person for dinner and a nice bottle of wine, I would recommend you do that at nearby Sunset restaurant or at the taverna at the Four Seasons hotel.
