In June, we headed to Tilburg for the May market—a vibrant flea market that kicks off in the evening and runs through the next afternoon. Staying overnight was practical, so we booked at the NH hotel in Waalwijk. Arriving early, we needed dinner nearby. After some thought, Greek cuisine won out.
Anyone who knows me knows my passion for Greek food: hearty meats paired with fresh salads (often buffet-style), plus tzatziki I could eat by the spoonful. A quick search led us to Santorini—conveniently close to the hotel and reasonably priced per the menu.
Nestled near the shopping street in central Waalwijk and not far from Efteling, this small, intimate spot exudes Greek charm.

We visited in June, and right away, we appreciated the authentic touch: real Greeks running the place. The menu is extensive, catering to fish, meat, and vegetarian preferences alike. I opted for the mixed meat platter—my go-to—served with Greek rice and fries as standard.
Fries and salad are portioned for two, so plan accordingly. No salad buffet here; instead, it's served tableside per pair. Portions varied: my meat was generous, but rice and tzatziki were skimpy. My daughter's fish casserole disappointed with just one prawn (menu promises large prawns, plural). The vegetarian moussaka was light on quantity—fine for light eaters. Overall, food was fresh, tasty, and priced comparably to other Greek spots.
