The Philosophy

Traditional flavors create a unique culinary experience.
The idea of eating together is not a new one. The history has taught us that the ancient Greeks wanted to establish a civilized lifestyle that separated them from the barbarians and food played a determinant role in this. Today, eating food and drinking in Greece, is a lifestyle that not only satisfies the physical needs, but it has been established more like a social event. It is a way for people to gather, relax and have long lasting discussions. The atmosphere in the Greek restaurants and taverns helps the people to feel welcome and comfortable. After all, food is a form of communication, a way to “speak” to someone’s heart through flavors that make you feel like home.
