estiatorio Milos, London

 

 

Only a short walk from Piccadilly Circus, situated in the former British Columbia House in Westminster, with huge wooden doors that open wide to welcome guests, Milos London combines the unsurpassed elegance of London with the unassuming charm of Greece. Mediterranean seafood reigns, as always, in harmony with local selections from the Bay of Biscay.

Milos, opened in 2015, is a true destination situated in the very centre of London, bringing together the thriving business district with the heart of London’s West End and tourism trade. Extraordinary architecture sets the tone and includes a magnificent space for private events. The essential elements of Milos — marble, light wood, and Grecian urns — are complemented by the formal elegance of a circa 1915 building. In the very center is the crown jewel of Milos hospitality, a signature fish market.

Orloff Restaurant

 

 

In the summer of 1991 Orloff opened its doors as ‘Vizantino’ (the Byzantine). Located right at the  entrance to the Old Harbor of Spetses, it is housed in an imposing post-Byzantine building erected in 1802 that once served as the island’s Port Authority headquarters. Neighboring the historic monastery of Agios Nikolas, its incredible veranda looks out over the Old Harbour, the islands of Hydra, Dokos and Trikeri, as well as the coast of the Peloponnese, thus affording visitors one of the best views on the island. It was the first restaurant on Spetses dedicated exclusively to ‘mezes’ the small, carefully crafted dishes perfect for sharing.

 

With its classic wicker chairs, refined marble tables and dug-out interior reminiscent of the traditional architecture on the volcanic island of Santorini – but chiefly thanks to its exquisite cuisine – it became an instant landmark and local favourite. Pure ingredients, traditional Greek cooking, exceptional hospitality, great service, a magical view and good music are all the foundations of Orloff‘s success. But its joy and vitality are its visitors and the great atmosphere they help create.

 

Our dishes are made with the finest ingredients and utmost care, featuring Greek and Mediterranean tastes. We always offer a wide variety of quality mezes and to these we have added a number of main courses, honoring the traditions of Greek cuisine and building upon them with creativity.

 

Our wine-list also features the best of Greek wine-making and will satisfy every palate.

 

With our success and experience we now offer cooking lessons and catering for weddings, celebrations and events such as exhibitions.

Our Location

Walk from the new port, “Dapia”, to the “Old Harbour” and you will find at the entrance of the harbour the classical building where the island’s first port authority was housed in 1802; it houses the “ORLOFF” Restaurant since 1991.

On the Verandah

 

Poseidonion Grand Hotel, which first opened in 1914, was the brainchild of Sotirios Anargiros, a visionary benefactor who was responsible for much of Spetses’ development. Furthermore, it represented the cosmopolitan face of the island and soon became one of its famous landmarks, a favourite destination for the high society, royalty and the wealthy Athenians.

 

Following a meticulous five-year restoration programme which has brought the hotel fully up to date with the finest facilities, fixtures, and fittings while carefully preserving the original architecture of the building, Poseidonion Grand Hotel, fully refurbished, re-opened its doors in the summer of 2009, ready to welcome new visitors.

Etrusco, Corfu

 

“Situated near a small village in Corfu, remote from any crowded, tourist spot, Etrusco restaurant is worthy of a special journey for one to taste the real potential of the traditional Greek-Corfiot cuisine seen in a contemporary molecular perspective. Corfiot-Italian chef-owner Ettore Bottrini continues cooking in the restaurant his father, Etrusco Bottrini, opened back in 1992. Studying in Switzerland, training and working with his father, also a chef, in many MED clubs all around the world, offered Ettore the necessary experience to take over the family restaurant. After continuous training in top rated restaurants in France and a series of molecular cuisine seminars in Spain over the last years, Ettore Bottrini was then capable to take the traditional Corfiot recipes a few steps further into the 21st century and to win some awards in doing so.

 

Ettore Bottrini’s Etrusco has been awarded one of the best restaurants in Greece for the last 9 consecutive years and Bottrini himself has won the Greek award for the most creative chef of the year three times. Despite the fact that his cooking is inspired from the Mediterranean Sea, combining Spanish, Italian and Corfiot produce, he is experienced, open minded and talented enough to use top gourmet ingredients from all over the world. For example, the Peruvian bitter chocolate which is used in a balanced, mouth-watering and perfectly cooked ensemble, as is the smoked risotto with shrimps and the juicy, sourish white heart cherries.

 

The dining area is within a small courtyard, decorated in a sophisticated yet simple and cosy way where one can have dinner underneath the refreshing, green foliage. Throughout the evening, diners can watch Ettore Bottrini supervising his assistants through a large glass window looking into the kitchen.

 

Even though Ettore Bottrini is the Head Chef in the restaurant, he is still working with his father who makes exceptional traditional Italian cold cuts. The delicious and sweetish lardo, the savoury bresaola, served with high quality extra virgin olive oil and chive, the smoked pork cold cuts, the salami and the slightly smoked prosciutto are the best way to begin your meal.”

Mazi in Syros

 

 

 

Nestled in a scenic cobblestone alleyway bordering the Miaoulis Square, the cultural hub of Syros, an enchanting garden is turned into the fine dining restaurant MAZI. Old stone arches, remnants of a glorious past, are covered by climbing plants in an overgrown secluded garden in the heart of Hermoupolis. Bougainvillea trees in full bloom act as a spectacular roof.

 

Here, spurred on by the aura of the Cyclades islands, we bring together the Greek culinary philosophy and different cooking cultures around the world to present our own creative cuisine. We are always interested in the concept of food and drink being linked. There is a special knack for a successful food and cocktail pairing which would enhance a dining experience. We believe in the matching of flavours and we created our wine list in order to take you on a trip to the most renowned Greek vineyards and world’s most celebrated wine regions.

 

 

 

We focus on sensing the full richness of our dishes. Our chefs draw their inspiration from the culinary identity of the Greek islands, they embrace multiculturalism and compose a menu in which the quality of the ingredients and the creative ways that are combined play a key role. Every dish comes from ideas that we draw from our own tradition and the international trends of the gastronomic scene, the adaptation and reinvention of Greek and international cooking techniques and the selection of the finest ingredients creating our own mosaic of flavors.

Magic Hill, Lourdas

Since then, the restaurant has expanded and grown to become one of the most popular restaurants in Kefalonia. The restaurant has been featured in many travel articles and magazines like Marie Claire, The Culture Trip, Daily Mail UK and more.

 

 

As a local business and farmers we believe in supporting our local community in buying all our daily fresh products from certified Kefalonian producers. For the things we don’t buy locally, we make, grow, water, raise, and prepare all ourselves as we have our own farm where we get our vegetables, feta cheese, olive oil and meat.  Our recipes are simple, authentic classics, many of them coaxed out of Greek grandmothers, mothers, and aunts whose ideas of a recipe were a pinch of this and a sprinkle of that.

 

 

Treat yourself to a unique gastronomic experience at Lorraine’s Magic Hill. An incredible selection of dishes, freshly caught fish and local products, are prepared for an exquisite fusion of flavours for you to enjoy in a unique relaxing setting.
